.....Sometimes I really with an EMP would come and destroy all of these devices which force us to realize that these devices for some are using them rather than the person using the device.
I fully understand that you don't
really want that scenario to enfold. Consider the following: depending on the severity of the blast, we could truly be back to the stone age. No mass manufacturing of food, medicine, clothing, etc. No provision of crucially essential, potable water to the masses. No computers, cell phones, elevators, air traffic, radio, tv, telex, land-line phones, electric lighting, or utility-provided heating in winter. No petrochemical production, no heavy machinery, cars, trucks, buses, or shipping lines. No hospitals, no dialysis or other life-saving treatments or procedures, no jails, modern schools, printing presses, etc. No police depts, fire depts, functioning government, records of ownership or banking records of money held in accounts, modern armies, etc.
Just anarchy and every man for himself until the tiny quantity of hoarded stuff runs out and 95% of the population perishes in an estimated 6-9 months. When only the hardiest, most-fit might survive a little longer on bare-bones necessities, seeking shelter in caves.
If a major EMP wave were to hit North America, it's curtains for society as we now know it. Too horrific to even contemplate. A time when the living may very well envy the dead.
