Horizon went down last week. We were all set adrift from some of our benefits of technology. All things do break and we must be prepared. Some of the taunting questions from that week was : where are the books and who has them ? One learning is to always plan on contingency plans that may involve old-fashioned technology. It brings to mind the Star Trek episode when Kirk, Spock and McCoy were without their communicators. Scotty was getting ready to blast them out of their holding cell. He used Morse Code to warn them to "stand back !"
Morse Code is old techonology now and it will be really old in a couple of centuries. However, Starfleet Academy still taught the course.
With ever-changing technology, we must always be ready to "stand back" and assess what do we do when the lights / computers/ communicators go out.
