Well, you're also talking about a global human population that's estimated to have been between a few tens of thousands and a few million back then, not nearly 8 billion. Also, you can say people are dependent on technology, but also it means that people now actually have useful technologies (including those that don't need electricity) and knowledge that didn't exist back then, not to mention storeholds of non-perishable foods. The scale of death would be vast now, but I would think there's no question our chances of survival as a species would be much higher now than in the past.
