I'd probably have to learn to actually play an instrument. . . or I could get a personal trainer cert.

But then I would sit back and watch all these youngens go frantic because they can't get onto FB, Twitter, whatever they do to ensure their zombie state. Then I would proceed to enjoy the bountiful feasts of extra food as the youngens die off and leave more food for me to pillage and horde. Then, at the end of the day, I would enjoy a nice beer (even without electricity, it is possible to have cold beer) with the peace and quiet of the world.

We have more technology that is sensitive to them, but the sun follows a 11 year cycle. 1stSgt Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 10 Mar 2016 19:20:20 -0500 2016-03-10T19:20:20-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-would-you-do-in-the-event-of-an-emp?n=1371016&urlhash=1371016 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Load my weapons. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 10 Mar 2016 19:29:32 -0500 2016-03-10T19:29:32-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-would-you-do-in-the-event-of-an-emp?n=1371353&urlhash=1371353 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think if it actually happened society would collapse. Think "The Walking Dead" without the zombies. Yeah, i'm a pessimist....lol I'd have my guns locked and loaded.
