For those who haven't seen it, I highly recommend (with a caveat) you watch this excellent and well done documentary: "Grid Down-Power Up" narrated by Dennis Quaid

(Dennis Quaid is apparently "one of us")

The caveat is, that once you watch it, you are going to end up having in the back of your mind what a fragile electronically based existence we all live, and that it could all be taken down by a natural event unless we prepare (which we won't)

Kind of like a lifelong Californian who lives on the San Andreas Fault. You know it is going to happen some day, the big one. It is a natural event. It is inevitable. But perhaps you will be dead already when it happens, and anyway, you have to get over to the Walmart to buy some more grass seed for your yard...

A Carrington Event or even bigger, like the one mentioned in 775 AD, would definitely put us all back to 1800 or so.

No computers, except the ones protected well underground and shielded, no satellites, no internet, no electrical power grid..............................
