Is it accurate or just cope?

kek, I've always thought this. Some people will argue that tech jobs are intellectual so people would find something else to do, but that isn't the case in 2019. Most tech jobs are occupied by monkies hacking together JS.

it's not really accurate, there will be plenty of non-skilled manual labor jobs to be done that can be picked up quickly

That image is probably made by a complete retard who is too far up his own ass to realize he is too far up his own ass.
The fact that he also added the drawing of basically a medievil city (lol) really hammers home the fact that he is a retard.

It honestly depends on the outcome of the next century. If we don't take things a little bit more seriously in terms of off-world habitation and on-world resource allocation: this image is nothing but an inevitability.

100 years or 1,000 doesn't matter much in the long term.

>all modern technology stops working and people just dispose of it in big piles instead of using the resources to make things that work

oh yes the good old electro-magnetic-make-all-metal-and-substrates-and electrons-disappear-forever pulse, there is no better excuse to be a luddite than the vague notion that it might all magically disappear some day

Can someone explain to me how a solar flare would destroy electronics? Dont we have ways of generating electricity?

The idea that tech workers will be unable or unwilling to occupy blue collar jobs doesn't make much sense.

Large magnetic flux drives current in electronics which will cause many things to burn. In small, unshielded electronics (most datacenters, your computer, medical electronics ) this will be devastating. Powerlines and transformers will likely pop as well.
Not everything will be fucked, but a large amount of it could. America could avoid the electrical grid being shut down but they have decided it's not worth the investment.

A flare won't destroy small electronics. Your computer is inside metal, medical electronics are hardened, car electronics as well. It would however induce currents in the power grid, potentially destroying transformers and thus causing a long lasting blackout.

ahahah
seething bois lets go

total cope. A flare would only be capable of destroying the electrical grid. Mobile phones and laptops would be well suited to handle this situation. Cell phones and laptops have batteries which can be charged with whatever's available. See cellphone charging in third world countries as an example of what it would be like. Celltowers could be still be ran intermittently with diesel generators. Plus there's mesh networks. Tech could still make money selling phone apps. If we put about 2000 big resistors at strategic places in the US grid this will never happen. Barring that, power companies can shut stuff down before flares hit.
By inducing currents in powerlines and popping distribution transformers. Only the transformers go, other electronics will not be damaged. Especially small electronics like cellphones and laptops
solar flares cannot induce currents in datacenters, computers, or medical electronics. They really only affect multi kilometer long conductors. The investment is rather cheap, but power companies don't want to spend the money, so the US gov wants to have a strategic transformer reserve funded at tax payer expense.

>tfw the laws of maxwell stop working
Who the fuck made this retarded shit?
If such a thing happened, and btw it needs to be a solar storm, not a huge flare because that's impossible, people who just need to repair the electrical components of stuff. Most pre 2000 cars would still work and people would buy generators until the global electrical grid got up again in one or two decades.
And computers could be easily fixed.

This I even forgot that

This comic is meant as a jock and thus isn't very accurate, chill out Jow Forums
You're not gonna have to beg for a piece of apple in the future lol

*joke

>the established digital world crashes
>every retard and their mother tries to cash in on it to be the next google

pure cope. I'm not even IT and I call bullshit. A flare wouldn't kill everything immediately nor would we be unable to recreate the technology. The things that would be effected the absolute worst are the power grids. It would take some effort to get EVERYTHING back up and running to what it once was, but we wouldn't go back to fucking castles and horses ffs.

This, the guy constantly does edgy boy comics like this. Trying to be a more teen version of TPBF alongside a comic of how he is a lone survivor on a wasteland plain and if anyone talks to him he's gonna awkwardly stare at them to OP's pic.

let's hope that happens
good bye backward compatibility

All this time I thought the whole point of the image was to show people just how important energy is, and that without it we are basically screwed. In terms of that aspect, I think it gets the message pretty well.
Of course, there's the other aspect that a solar flare would do this, which I find improbable.

Me getting ready to get my dick sucked in last panel

not only that, but let's say a flare IS capable of doing that much damage. People seem to think fully mechanical cars/generators/etc still no longer exist. We'd see a resurgence of Steam powered stuff and crude diesel tier motors.

shit i never noticed that

the chemical factories that produce diesel run on electricity, and once they go there's no more diesel for mechanical machines

Grr I am so angry! Mad mad mad about that image.

of course there'd be some down time. I'm not saying immediate. But people think solar flare = game over forever. No more technology for at least 1000 years.

Wtf i hate my high paying software job now? How could I have been so blind?

Cope. How would a solar flair destroy all the buildings?

If the solar flare really knocked everything out like that pic, there'd be huge wide spread chaos. Especially in cities. Buildings wouldn't be destroyed, but shit would definitely be fucked

Plenty of instances of power outages where people act fine.

You have to be really stupid to think all the trillons of electronic devices will disappear overnight because of some sunfart

A power outage implies it will come back on within a realistic time frame (days to weeks in the event of a major natural disaster). In the even of a solar flare to the extent shown in that picture, you'd be talking probably the better part of a year before the common man go power again. No security feeds, electric locks, etc. Looting would be rampant. Again specifically in cities. Suburbs and rural towns would be better off.

LEARN TO KODE

can you imagine how much better society will be without twitter for 100 days

And facebook.
And jewgle.

If a long and widespread power outage were indeed to happen I'm pretty sure that tons of people will die which includes programmers and journalists.

1. Won't it only affect the half of the Earth facing the sun?
2. Won't things indoor be safe as long as they're not connected to the power grid? At least if you live in an apartment with concrete walls?

You, sir, are very lucky to never ever have encountered a nigger.

lets say it does all these things, couldnt we just build new generators, computers, etc. to slowly replace the old ones instead of just accepting medieval times?

Cope. Engineers will be sought after.

I have military training, so I'll probably be Hank Hill receiving head from Balmer on the last picture. I'm not gay though.

this is what shows just how cope that image is. People and societies wouldn't just say "oh well, lets live like the Amish now", they'd immediately get to work rebuilding all that modern technological infrastructure. Now sure that'd be disruptive, but it means tech people would be urgently needed more than ever. At least the ones who can do industrial-automation stuff to get a factory or a utility plant working again, as opposed to Javascript Kode Artisans.

yikes user, you just outed yourself
