Something to pounder on this weekend

We have rely too much on machines, computers. And seem like all the things around us, to things we used are all computers such as PDAs, PCs, ATM machines, cell phones, cash register machines, auto door, TV, DVD players, Radios, walkmans, discman, mp3 players we carry, cameras, etc.

What if one day the whole world electricity melt down and total black out? Can we make it?? Can we live in a world with no computers and electronics devices??

Ha! Ewan couldn't... but then, I probably couldn't either. I would wander lost among piles of discarded electronics pining for a net connection...

I agree. Whenever the internet connection is dead, everything seems to loose its meaning 😉 I can't even think what would happen if there were no computers ...

But seriously, it would make living really difficult to say the least.

It's back to that conversation Neo had with the old bloke down the Engineering Section isn't it? We have the ability to destroy our electrical things, but how woud we manage without them. We do seem to have formed a symbiotic (no pun intended) relationship with machines, don't we?

I for one would be stuffed because I'd lose my job and I'd have to resort to conversation with people as apposed to just Texting....... on the other hand (and this is the West Walean Yorkshireman in me), it would be much cheaper!

Indeed i have watch many many times of the Matrix and the game too. You are very right.

BUT, this question.. I already had pounder it way back when I am in high school.. years b4 Matrix the movie was made..
