I remember an X-Class solar flare that wiped out several segments on a satellite used by the Army for correspondence courses. This disaster caused the price for satellite segments to soar. My contractors and I were required to immediately convert Army and DoD publications to internet formats and set up a digital library to support correspondence courses. That enabled us to deliver learning materials via the internet. People tend to under-estimate the potential damage the sun or an EMP device could inflict on our data-dependent society. If we get hit by an EMP, a good portion of our population would be dead within a year, and our society would be sent back to the 18th-19th centuries.
