<p>I've been dealing with a few customers with EMP concerns. Just
as we had to deal with the non-event of Y2K, I think its
extremely important to not exaggerate. Saying that we will be
back to the "Stone Age" is just not an accurate statement and
contributes to the hype. We've only had electronics for less than
a century. I think it might be more accurate to say we would be
back to the 1950s, and that is definitely not the Stone Age.
(maybe the Rolling Stones age?....)</p>
<p> When it comes to fear, misinformation, and hype, you are either
part of the problem, or you are part of the solution. I've spent
time recently in places in Puerto Rico, where the grid has been
down for over 9 months. No cannibalism, no anarchy, no stone
age. Instead I saw neighbors helping each other, everyone trying
to get by, but still remaining basically civil. If we do have a
big EMP event, we will deal with it and get back in action, in
months, not centuries. <br>
</p>
<p>I always reiterate this fact: Electricity is not essential to
Life. (cue the collective gasps from my fellow electricians....)
We might actually get off our stupid phones long enough to look
around and enjoy ourselves too. <br>

does anyone know of the the effects of an EMP
