Scientists are discussing the decrease in strength of the magnetic field and a possible flip in its poles, which, I think, takes a very long time. Will that have much affect on computers. Then there's the potential for an EMP or the sun throwing out an massive solar flare at a point when the earth's magnetic field is very low how will that impact computers? Let's face it that's not just cars being affected. Water pumping stations, power plants, farm equipment, etc etc
I, really, don't like to be a Luddite but as technology progresses I can't help but believe that what should be prerequisite safety precautions are not being taken because profits.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
