Is anyone else freaked out over the possible fact that the Amish may be the only people who survive doomsday? I hate to think that they got it right, that the way they live is the only way to live. life with computers is faster, better, and much more complicated. we are more connected to each other than we've ever been, and more cut off from each other as well. It's hard to sit here and say that technology is dangerous as I type away on my dell. But things have become more and more accelerated, more and more dangerous. Cyber-crime, cyber-terrorism, cyber-sex, cyber-space..... it's all an illusion, and totally real.
could computers take over the world? it's highly unlikely, but could one computer malfunction, or one computer hacker, or one very organized terrorist cell trigger an apocalypse? our own government agency behind stopping cyber-crime in the U.S. says that a possible cyber attack is expected within the next 5 to 10 years.
my first suggestion, and don't laugh:
The Terminator Saga:
yes the classic sci-fi story is very educational, not when it comes to real life scenarios, but definitely when it comes to being strong in desperate situations. Sarah Connor is one of my favorites, she's my hero actually. and the second film transformation that she does is key to understanding what you must become in order to survive.
My second suggestion:
Surviving Disaster Hosted By Cade Courtly
If you've heard of it but never watched it, you were probably one of those people who shrugged it off as just a load of crap. But the show in fact is very intriguing, and informs you of things that most people aren't away of when it comes to surviving. the entire first season is available on Amazon On Demand, but the best episodes are..... well they're all pretty amazing, but start with "Pandemic" and "Nuclear Attack" first.
