This age of unreliable hardware and software we’ve grown up with will pass quicker than you can say http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail-safe With dirt cheap hardware resources fail safes and redundancy will be built - it will be mandatory - into all, not just critical, digital systems. If a component, whether hardware or software fails, another identical one takes its place, with no interruption to service. This is already old news everywhere except on the consumer level. In the future, electricity will be generated where it’s needed and stored in capacitors - the charge stays there indefinitely unlike in conventional batteries. Essential functions for survival will not halt due to the grid failing and even staying offline for years. Mitch Howe scaremongers:
