Only one technological disaster to go

My brother has a computer and is online.

Given how he is death to electrical goods [entry], it's obvious that his computer's days are numbered. It'll be a lifespan equivalent to that of a common fruit fly.

But the worrying thing is this: he's connected to the Internet. What if his techno-jinx spreads? World banks failing, planes dropping out of the sky, countries' defence systems being targeted at suspicious-looking flocks of geese. It could be a level of destruction previously restricted to the pages of techno-thriller novels.

The Y2K scare was nothing. This is YDJ[3] and the threat is real.

Start stocking up on tinned food and bottled water. It could be a long winter.
