Humanity terrifies me.
The fact that the reaction to an event like this is what would cause the most damage leaves me with little faith.
The Human Race survived the first 99% of it's existence without electricity and the technologies we have now, and the vast majority of that time, without the knowledge we have now. There is no question we could easily survive a few years without the internet or cell phones (hell, anyone born before the mid 90's has already lived this way). Yet, it would cause mass hysteria, and undoubtedly lead to all hell breaking loose.
Obviously there would be many other things effected, but as communities, they would be easy to overcome.
