Vulnerable IT Society
The whole neighborhood is suddenly pitched into blackness. A major power failure has killed even the street lamps. Thanks to my liking for candles and mobile broadband I still have some connection to the outside world beyond the blackness but it is interesting to see how vulnerable the IT society has become. I have candles to last the night but my laptop will only manage two hours. People are outside on balconies talking on their mobile phones and even walking outside with torches – or probably with the light on their phones.
An interesting experience not common in the safety first Scandinavia.

You should consider changing laptop – my son´s lasts for over 6 hours
I have one of those but I prefer my mac, its much more stylish…
Mathias, what on earth do you want style for in the pitch dark anyway?
You mean as long as its dark enough elegance doesn’t matter? Finland is the home of darkness and design?? Something is wrong here.
And… the home of practicality
