Everyone is saying stuff like they would watch the carnage unfold but really, would a worldwide EMP (assuming it wasn't caused by nukes) really be that bad? Sure there would be some confusion for awhile and some people might die but if all electronics get knocked out people would just build new electronical devices to replace the old ones that had been fried. First phonelines would go back up. And then system after system would be restored and after a year (three years at most) everything would be back to normal. It would take awhile to restore everything but people would just fall back on the non-electronic systems we used before we started using so many electronics. Like stores would use old timey cash registers and the government would spring for a bunch of wood burning furnaces for homes that still don't have power in the winter. It would suck to have all the porn on my computer gone but that's why I've got stacks of porn magazines in case of blackouts.It would certainly be inconveinient, but certainly not devastation and soon everything would be just like it was before.
I'm pretty sure that there would be a lot of confusion and panic since a lot of devices that keep people content and in order would fail.
Examples of problems that would probably airse:
Spoiler:
A combination of the last two would cause a drastic rise in crime as you can commit crimes and the chances of anybody knowing about it are very low. Or at least if local people do learn you can simply travel somewhere else since communication is now much harder.
I'm willing to bet a bunch of other things would happen but back on topic
I would probably arm myself and watch what happens to everyone I know (from a distance)
then after all the groups battle it out or a sort of order has been established and my town starts to rebuild I would start causing a lot of disturbances, maybe kill someone and watch as everyone loses trust in each other. After which people would probably start fighting.
after a while there's only one person left (Or i kill the remaining people until there's only one). At that point I would just see what the person would do.
Eventually I would probably move to another town...
EDIT: I know I probably sound pretty twisted but I find the actions of people in situations like this fascinating

Back in the days of my youth, people would sometimes do this thing called 'camping'.
It involved such activities as foraging for some fruit, fishing, and making a campfire to cook with.
And if you don't mind spending a while skinning something, you can have yourself some nice venison for supper.
And if ya can dig a hole, you can plant and grow a nice l'il garden.
Of course- with the computer and game consoles fried, I'd be bored as all fuck.

thats actuly one of the 2012 possibility's, a massive solar flare, which would fry everything electronic on the planet. and i happens to have a 45 page what to guild on my flashdrive, and a hard-copy somewhere in my room. it involves lots of firearms as per the riots that would happen, looting certian things and lots of car battery's and crank generators ill post it later if i feel like it .

most likely there would be rioting and mass hysteria... myself id be sitting on my roof with my rifle after openly placing a sign that reads "if no one who lives at this property knows who you are, tresspass at your own risk"

First of all, survive with what supplies I have stocked in my place and at the same time get some arms to survive on....then survive with what other styles that I know and will learn until the electronics world is revived

EMP bombs only affect cities not the whole world, unless someone created a huge EMP bomb for that purpose but if ever that happens well Im guessing I'll just sleep..

actuly not so much. i remember reading somewhere that the north american electrical grid, that if it went completely down, as in fried would take at LEAST 7 years to rebuild. no i dont know about you but seven years without infrastructure would be pretty damn bad.

Yes I remembered this as well from a Discovery World video on Solar Flares: What if one actually fried all of the world's electronics

Wow never thought this topic can grow till 6 page long,
Hahahahaha, well the chance of EMP strike is actually possible. We have treats from a vary source like the space and the superpower country.
Hopefully it won't happen in our lifetime. I think I'll go to train the pure martial arts and becoming a master and come back when the technology can be used again.
