We are in desperate need of alternatives for the digital systems that power our lives. This should be a priority, because things can happen that can knock out these systems for months. I can only imagine the staggering amount of losses in life and property if this happens. Actually those in positions of power night have a backup for this kind of situation, but won't make it available to the masses. Just as I'm sure they've got bunkers to hide out in, in the event of a nuclear apocalypse. To make sure we are perpetually dependent and they perpetually in control.
It would definitely thin out the herd quite a bit. Just imagine all the military failures.
