Do you think it would be fun if all the smart-phones in the world went dead for 24 hours?

What major things could that cause?
Who cares?

    It wouldn't affect me, personally.
    I maybe use mine about 10 minutes a week, for texting.

    Lots of small businesses would be hurt, as they wouldn't be able to accept credit cards.

    It can be two weeks before I turn on my cell phone so I would not likely even know it happened.

    I care
    Would not be happy
    My old iPhone 4s
    is my link to emergencies I have to deal with.
    Even 24 hrs would hurt.
    I take care of 8 different buildings
    as a General Contractor
    having to respond to every problem
    through my cell phone.
    Granted my old iPhone 4s
    is not that smart but
    even missing one emergency call
    could be devastating for the tenants. This post was edited by Baba at May 14, 2019 4:44 PM MDT

    Would not bother me - never had one.

    I would be entertained by such an event.  All it would take is enough electromagnetic interference from what I've read. Many people believe that this force is used for weather manipulation.  That is so far out to me that I don't even read about it.   This is not my thing....science.  You have probably read more than I have.  But I read that future warfare will be this kind of thing.
