Our entire world is going digital, for the most part, but I was watching a news program the other day about solar flares interfering with our power sources.  One occurred in the late 19th or early 20th century and caused some damage to what little electricity there was.  Back in the day, a power outage was no big deal and it still isn't...on a small scale.  Here we are putting everything in a digital format and deleting our paper prints.  What would happen if our power went our for good and all our resources were destroyed or too outdates to be helpful?  Do we conserve trees and space by having up to date, easy access information or do we continue to print books that take up space, kill trees, require page turning, indexing, cross-referencing, and collect dust?

We can always commit ourselves to darkness and find out.
