    Chaos... our complete communication, transportation, and financial systems are based on computers. If it lingered long enough society would collapse. Supply lines for mostly every good and/or services would be disrupted/discontinued and if not so they would become terribly inefficient. All major retailers would collapse. Hospitals would start loosing patients in a far higher rate. The rule of the physically strong would prevail. Without media communication to reassure people, violence and chaos would set out into almost every level!!!

    If there's no computer there'll be an outrage. All MMORPG game (Ragnarok for instance) players like me will run out of their house and start killing each other!lol. Well, the point is even if it is just a computer it has already been a part of humanity, even babies now are being exposed to computers as a basic necessity, as a part of life, so just imagine a crying little girl because she couldn't find her favorite barbie doll.

    Western society as all of us be conscious of it would give way in a heap. what's used to run to the inventory industry economic gadget? What controls air site visitors? What controls the great machines in factories? there is particularly little if something in our society that may no longer controlled, in some way by way of using desktops, even your wages, academic records, wellness records, drivers license, climate forecasts,telephone exchanges, you call it. If all desktops stopped working the government of the full international might fall over. Billions might die.

    The world will be plundged into chaos. Bill Gates would make alot of money, and that people like you or me would not be able to talk... and it would take years for the world to recouperate, as we all depends on computers.
