Indeed. Fred Piper, likes the "Cyber security" word and as a founder, he can do anything he likes. Vodaphone and GCHQ are closely connected with the MSc course/Centre, and they are up to date as much they can be

A few decent EMP's and the whole world will revert to firing bits of lead at each other.

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

A lot of military 3C systems are hardened against EMP, and various equipment such as the Abrams M1.

Biggest worry is the loss of comms/GPS satellites.

Most of a countries infrastructure would collapse: No electricity, no phones or mobiles, no internet or email. No TV or radio. Most transport paralysed including private cars. Most computers / tablets fried. Gas and water cut off.

To be fair that is an understandable worry, map reading is such a chore

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

It's more that the military use the GPS for targeting/way finding, and the the comms satellites for, strangely enough, comms.....
