Here's what I think would happen:
What would you do? I would wait for the electricity to turn back on... I would wait at least a week and I would go to my family and friends houses or neighbors houses to talk to them and see if they know anything. I woul start gathering up water and food. After a month of no electricity, I would start to stock up on more ammo, cause I already have the guns. After a month of not having internet service, I would find out where a congragation of people are and see if I can figure out what has actually happened. I can't think of what I would do after that because I wouldn't know what would actually happen.
Do you think the people would topple over the government? I think that the government would be ineffective for a long time. Especially in this day and age. A lot of people would pledge alegance to the Potus, and some may establish smaller local governments and feel no nationalism.
How would other countries be affected? Yes, I think that international trade would be affected. I think that in order for international trade to exist again, we would have to go back to sailships and such. I think North America, Europe and parts of Russia would be the most affected areas of the world.
Would your debts be erased? Since everything is kept up on computers, then I would think that most of peoples debts would be at least temporarily erased. It would be impossible for a company to go after everyone that owes them money.
Would people die? Absolutely. People who are not survivors - who can not accompany change. There would also be a lot of violence and corruption and of course starvation.
How would society change? I think that besides the population decreasing, we would go back to an rural-aggrarian civilization where family units are important and local governments would form. I think at first there would be "tribes" of people, such as "texans" and so fourth who would fight over food, land and perhaps power.
XD Just curious. I'll get someones answers and then I'll post my own.
So then you see something simular to the movie POSTMAN .
