I am going to leave this here and clam a few fears. Most critical system s that are run have mechanical safeties or back ups . To prevent such things from happening. Most companies and governments understand this so they make make sure they are built in so that computer failure or hackers can't just shut things down. Yes somethings would be effected but world ending events being caused by computer shut down would not happen.

So, if robots take over one day, all they have to do is turn off the electricity... But wait, wouldn't that turn them off too? 😀

There would be some angry Pokémon go players.

Well hopefully by the year 2999 humanity will have figured something out, now if humans are still using windows 10 in 900+ years we deserve to all die from stupidly and incompetence.

If all of the computers in the world turned off humans will devolved

If an airplane engine stops it will just keep gliding

As far as I’m aware the y2k bug which was a minor issue “for who didn’t have the patch installed” wouldn’t of simply shut down computers of all types i don’t even think it effected the software used for these things it was a windows issue and the main issue i know of is that it could of effected the financial/stock market systems.
The effect was the date changing from the highest available date to the to lowest.
It probably wouldn’t of done anything other then leave you with the wrong date for personal computers.
Things like airplanes and nuclear reactors use specialty software not windows.
Also even fairly modern planes can be controlled without power to glide to the ground.
There systems are typically hydraulic with essentially power steering.
That does exclude some new designs that have the hydraulics controlled directly by computer systems.
And as far as I’m aware nuclear reactors have manual backup systems to shut down the reactor.
Chernobyl’s biggest issue was a mix of lack of training/safety standards combined with the epitome of government stupidity on the reactor design “to save costs they used the”almost” worst possible material to build parts of it “flammable””.

Added the “almost” because on second thought i didn’t want to underestimate human stupidity.

Anybody heard of the Year 2038 problem

[damndevil]

I personally think that it would be better without the internet simply because people have become mindless zombies due to smartphones and social media.

[kevoraww]

They will one day when the grid shuts off and airplanes start falling out the sky and all technology stops working

Reactors don't overheat when they have a melt down the fuel melts through the bottom. Chernobly's "explosion" was due to other factors caused as a result of this but this isn't guaranteed to happen during a meltdown

[jakelewis]

I want this to happen it would be a lot better and communities would come back

[liamdrinkwater]

We might be better off because we would be more social witg eachother

If the world did end in 2000 I probably would not be born

Here’s the top 10 computers that have turned off

[JASN_MRE]

EMP bombs can turn off all electric powered devices so it's possible if a country has enough of them

[tylern]

Why didn't you just make a video about a solar flare that wiped out all the electronics?

[saafwan]

Maann we would meet a lot of new people then
