Another area where redundancy suffers is communications. We have become overly dependent on cell phones, almost exclusively, to the point that even home Internet is now going cellular. If the cell network fails there is literally no backup for most people and many functions. What we know about restarting a grid after an outage is that real-time voice and data communications are critical and indispensable. Is there enough redundancy left in the system to provide for this in the upcoming forecast outages? Or will extraordinary interventions be required, such as engaging the military to bring in battlefield communications equipment in order to provide the needed connections and networks necessary to perform the grid restarts? What can Creator tell us?

While this precise scenario might not be needed at this point, humanity is certainly extremely vulnerable and becoming so dependent on this single technology to control a greater and greater percentage of necessary day-to-day functions, and this leads to obvious and somewhat embarrassing situations on occasion when a cell phone is not set up properly or has a glitch of some kind, leaving a person completely helpless to take part in life because they need their cell phone to do something critical. It is amusing to see people in a situation where they cannot prove their identity and be accepted in some kind of transaction agreement, or even gaining access to a venue because they can't pull up a necessary coding on their cell phone to get through a security checkpoint, for example, to board a plane or carry out a bank transaction. So the warning signs have been there all along, but with the enforced complacency, little has been done about this, and it may well be things come to a head if cell phone availability is compromised due to lack of power for functioning of the cell phone towers, not to mention the need for recharging from another source of electricity. What has happened is that it used to be the case that people were aware of their vulnerability because communication was more challenging and less certain to begin with. So this was thought about a lot to put some kind of infrastructure in place and to have emergency backup systems in the event of an outage. So with the advent of the telephone, an army of ham radio operators sprang up who could communicate with one another over long distances if there were a disruption of telecommunications. They could communicate anywhere in the world using relays of radio operators handing off messages to be transmitted onwards. The problem in today's world is that it is not simply transmitting simple communications, like a phone call, that are lost with a cell phone outage but commerce as well will be compromised. People conduct the entirety of their business affairs on their cell phones via the Internet and a series of specialized applications that carry out needed functions. So this is now a case of having all the eggs in one basket and, if the signals are compromised, the whole system may collapse.
