[Mik]

Without. Like everybody else and like I did for 40 years.

[Klaus]

We are more dependent on it than most people realize.

[Mik]

Oh, we for sure are. But we will adapt if we have to.

[Jolly]

Chaos?

Food shipments? Electrical grid?

Would we survive it as a species? Yes, of course.

But an internet outage of a year would lead to the biggest crisis since WW2.

[Mik]

Absolutely. The worst part of it is that much if not all telecom would be gone too. The vulnerability of cellular and IP phones.

The Sun is coming to get us.

It will get the internet

It will get the planet eventually

The politics will be fascinating

It will start with warming, but co2 will get the blame

Really, no kidding, more people will blame atmospheric co2 than will blame the Sun

At that time, we'll need to boogie out of here...

And this is why the space program is important.
