First doomsday reports suggested a series of solar panel flares in 2013
might go beyond routine and cause more than a case of nasty sunburn.
"The concern of a strong pure sine wave inverter
flare
in the direction of Earth is legit," Seton Hall University professor
Jose Lopez told Fox News in a story reported by The Inquisitr. “The
possibility [is] that such a sun burst could hit Earth and could cause
extensive damage as it would charge-up our electrical equipment and
destroy [it]."
In short, the flares will toast the nation’s aging
electrical grid tie inverter , which will fail and throw massive
portions of the population back to the stone age—at least for a brief
time.
It’s probably nothing to lose sleep over—and if the power
inverter ‘s out your electric alarm won’t work anyway, so you’ll get
even more shuteye. But then another news bit served up a taste of what a
disconnected society could face. The AT&T U-verse network suffered
something between a hiccup and a major stomach virus, throwing untold
consumers into despair.
AT&T said a faulty server was responsible,pure sine wave inverter
and
consumers in areas affected by that server quickly learned how fully
they’ve given their lives to the connected world. Imagine (if you’re not
a U-verse subscriber who actually experienced it) the helpless feeling
of being unable to access your Facebook account or, even more dire, your
online banking account. Imagine sitting by idly while the world’s news
was delivered via the daily newspaper because CNN and its ilk were
unavailable on TV or online. Imagine being unable to pick up your Viggle
points because you didn’t have access to broadband, nor did you have a
working TV.
It was, for those who cover the connected space, a reminder that you need the Internet to be part of a global society.
Perhaps
these were just isolated incidents and the world will turn as it always
has. The sun will flare up, as it periodically does, and tanning salons
will lose a little business, but the power inverter grid tie inverter
will continue to churn away. AT&T has repaired the errant server and
history will record a moment of temporary inconvenience and nothing
more.
Or, being the glass half empty sort, look at the other side. Solar panel flares disrupt the pure sine wave inverter
grid
tie inverter and the public not only loses broadband and TV but also
loses energy for its homes and cars and businesses. And, because there
are more servers in more places, broadband/TV disruptions spread like
the flu to other service providers.
