What would happen if all the computers and everything eletronical stopped working?

Answer 1

We would all have to become Amish and redefine our values! The world as we know it would pause ... realise that there were people out there and re-adjust. In a thousand years or so we might learn to create computers out of plants and then we'd be back where we were.

Answer 2

If everything electrical stopped working, there would be mass confusion on the planet in most places. Crime would be out of control for many reasons. I would say that the only places that life would not be thown in complete chaos are areas where electronic devices are not relied upons as much. If something like this ever happened, I would like to be somewhere like Samar, Philippines, just hanging out in a hut with a large bag of rice, water, and a good fishing net, a small boat and a beautiful hard working Pinay.

Answer 3

first off the online dictionary that taught you electronical would rightfully be condemned to destruction, it's electrical :P

No phones, computers, cars, electronic banking not only means credit cards and such obselete but even cash, no exchange rates and modern countries don't use the gold standard any more. So unless you have something of value that isn't electronic you have nothing. But debt is cleared, so you'd own your house.

Transport's kaput except for skateboarding and cycling, horse riders will be proclaiming I told you so. That means you won't be going that far for your holidays and if you're in the suburbs or somewhere not accustomed to a lack of travel you'll be going a long ways to get your food, which will soon run out without supplies form trucks or fridges to keep it cool. Start planting those beans!

We would probably be pulling ourselves by going back to steam or horsepower to help us recover, but there'll be a big fight for oil, information and other basic resources such as food and water.

Answer 4

"If electricity went.... no electricity, no lights, your back to candles, lanterns, bonfires, batteries couldn't be recharged, generators couldn't be re-fulled because fuel is pumped electrically, so is water, no no lights, no fuel, no water, no computers and computers run everything and among the many things computers run that operate on electricity are the security systems in all of our jails and prisons and nuthouses so suddenly without electricity all across the world the gates and cell doors of penitentiaries and mental institutions would fly open. And out would come all of our old friends the ones that had been away. Serial killers, mass murderers, felony rapists, armed robbers, car jackers, home invaders, thieves, burglars, kidnappers, sadists, paedophiles, sexual predators, pimps, pushers, speed freaks, crack heads, junkies all the ethnic street gangs, black, Spanish and Asian gangs, Japanese yakuza, Russian mafia, neo-Nazi's, white supremacists, Sicilian hit men, Italian mobsters, Jamaican and Colombian drug gangs. And those are just the ones we caught! Lets not forget their counterparts still on the outside right now waiting to hook up with their prison buddies so they can start a new organisation.... the American Federation of Sociopaths........ just what the country needs another special interest group! 8 to 10 million of them there would be - bitter angry violent men with nothing to do, no medication! Police wouldn't help you, they would be gone at the first sign of trouble protecting their own families, so would the army the national guard, you'd be alone you'd be on your own. **** out of luck and jolly well fucked!"

Answer 5

If all computers and everything electronics stopped working,It means the downfall of technology,and as the world came up to be today,technology is the number one sustainer of earthly bodies. Take computer as an example in the avaiation industry, The operators notify the pilot concerning damages ahead of their flight. If all computers should stop working,then it is guaranteed that lifes are not safe. Same applies to other electronical equipments that are used to sustain human lifes either in the hospital or any other health care places.

Answer 6

This is what was supposedly going to happen when the Millenium Bug was around at the turn of the Millenium.
The worlds economy depends so much on Computer Imput that the world would be in complete chaos.
Everybody would be looting, as no electrical devices work such as Alarms.

Answer 7

we be back to almost the 19th century and would have limited ability to communicate work and do the things we want a movie called the medusa child brought this up when a weapon was created that created low emission electrical waves that interupted everything after a nucleuar bomb blast. this has been brought over various programs on tv that some of our enemies have a weapon capable of interferring with everyone's elctrical work and computers and communications it would take at least 6 months to repair the damages. Hurricanes do the same thing when they wreck the electric intrastructure..

Answer 8

The ecomnomy would be a bit iffy and this Yahoo malarky would be history. Generally speaking, things would be a mess because stupidly we have put so much dependance on technology that without it everyday things become a problem. In the end we would cope and adapt to our original guise. We all started out without technology and we survived. Mankind is stupid to feel so attached to it. Were the pyramids built with computers? Perhaps we would be better for it!

Answer 9

Look up EMP bombs... If a nuclear bomb were detonated 150 miles over the middle of the US, the entire US would electronically shut down... Including 30,000 fly by wire planes in the air at any one moment... Modern Electronic Ignition automobiles would quit wherever they are... Power would be out for the whole country... No TV... No News...

Military may still marginally function as much of their stuff is hardened for such an event, but it would still be very crippling. Millions would die.

Answer 10

A lot of people would die very quickly, assuming it was a sudden stoppage. We would have no electricity so would have to go back to burning fossil fuels (coal & wood) to stay warm, everything would be analogue like before the turn of the century. The roads would be very quiet and I would miss Scooby Doo.
