Back in the 1950s,there was a film called,The day the earth stood still,a scfi
film,that i thought was excellent,in one part of the film,the alien man,to demonstrate his power,stopped all electrical occurances on the planet,
everything that used electricity stopped wordwide.The alien man said that his planet was concerned about our atomic discoveries and where they
may lead,I have recently thought about the utter dependance we have on
electricity,I sit here now typing this thread starter on the toequest forum,but what good would my computer be to me without power-none whatsoever.
The planet hums with the sound of electricity,high tension cables glow with
an errie blue light on frosty mornings!Mobile phones,what usewould that be
without power,a paperweight prehaps?So if some super intelligence could
actually do this,how would youlet others know from afar off?Use smoke signals prehaps???
kind regards michael.
