What happens when all this technology crashes big time?

Major Solar Flare?
We already see institutions systems crashing regularly.
So much inconvenience. Imagine a major bank losing its system for a week.
Supermarket systems crash, tills not working, they have to shut down until the fault is found and rectified.
Major power outages, people who rely on machines to keep them alive.
There is so much potential for world wide mayhem because of technology.

I saw a good series on Sky called Cobra, where the UK's systems are fried by a solar flare.

@SW-User Everything shut down? Major crashes on the roads, Fires everywhere, riots because money could not be got, Food shortages because transport ground to a halt, Planes grounded, hospitals shut down, shipping came to a stand still. etc.
Just imagine the chaos

@Gusman I think it focused on one part of the UK where they couldn't get a new transformer for a few days and things started to unravel and a charismatic semi-far right group began to emerge. It all worked out though in the end and the PM immediately called an election and invited people to judge him.
