Watched this series, was somewhat a little far fetched but the idea of losing the power grids gave a good wake up call...1 emp from a rogue nation and the US is in hurting status. Unless you have what it takes to be prepared...If so, what could realistically be done to become LESS dependent?
What are the drawbacks?
Revolution
Back in the 90's on the way home from work I stopped at a 7-11 in Fort Worth for beer. When I went in I noticed the store was a little dark. I walked back to the beer and got a 12 pack and went up the the counter to pay for it. The older woman working said she couldn't sell me the beer. I said why not and she said the power was off and I can't figure the tax without the cash register. I said lady, it's 8.99 multiplied by 8.25 percent. She said she didn't know how to do that. I was surprised....When we get to the point that we don't know what to do, or, things just CAN'T be done without technology, then we are too dependent upon it.....
Of course, we can live/thrive without it, but not without a huge cost if we lose it. Plus, how long is the learning curve to adapt to life without it?
Many people will starve to death, because they have not the skills to be a hunter/gatherer. But you can bet many will be looting because that is the last resort of those who end up in desperation. Do you think the liberal elites will be hunter/gatherers?When we get to the point that we don't know what to do, or, things just CAN'T be done without technology, then we are too dependent upon it.....

I would think not... the Romans had plumbing way back thenIs plumbing considered technology?
does the OP mean going without cars and electricity? or like smart phones/PCs/etc?If you mean what does being dependent on technology hurt, then I'd have to say it reduces the number of people who can make it in life without it. By a large number.what does it hurt?
Of course the plumbing of the Romans was similar to the plumbing of Flint Michigan...I would think not... the Romans had plumbing way back thenIs plumbing considered technology?
