World War III Will Be Less High-Tech Than Anyone Imagines

Quote:
Last year, the (US) Naval Academy made two distinct changes in how it operates—one that’s a natural progression in cyberwarfare, the other a clear response to how thoroughly we rely on that technology.
“First, they've created a cyberwarfare center and created the first class of midshipmen who will be cybersecurity majors,” cybersecurity and military expert Peter W. Singer recently told me. “Second, they required that every midshipman learn how to do celestial navigation like they did back in the 1700s. We're preparing both for a world of cyberwarfare and, ‘oh my goodness, what if I have to go back to navigating by the stars?’”

What would happen if the next war knocked out our technology? (GPS, smartphones, Internet, etc.)
"Ghost Fleet" is an excellent book, like "Red Storm Rising" updated for the 21st Centurt.
