This week saw a major outage across a wide range of businesses due to a single software bug in a single piece of software. Airlines stopped moving, factories stopped producing, hospitals stopped performing procedures.

Yet the IT industries response is that it was simply to great a dependence on a single company rather than being more… diverse I suppose.

In the event of a Carrington Event level EMP every one of these industries and businesses will cease functioning due to irreversible hardware damage to unprotected computers and won’t restart.

If a day or two of computer downtime caused this much chaos imagine if ALL the computers go down and that it’s permanent.
