With the recent nationwide power cuts in Iberia, it begs the question of how we would cope if power disappeared for several days, whether due to natural causes or a cyber attack. From the (thankfully) rare occasions when the power goes down we realise just how much we depend on electricity for so much: lights, cooking, trains, traffic lights, card payments, email, charging, internet and so much more.
The threat is real.
At one time "preppers" were thought as harmless cranks. Not any more.
Maybe we all need a small stock of canned food, some batteries, a torch and some means of finding out what is going on.
One thing Covid taught us all: although a shock at first, humans adapt.
