Technology rendered useless as power goes out during Katrina

Its amazing how useless technology became when going up against mother natures wrath. In a society that touts technology for many of our needs and some of our pleasures stark reality sets in. Most broadcast stations shutdown, cellphones dont work. No electrical appliances work with out power which means most appliances dont work. It also means gas stations can't operate and most businesses must temporarily close. Dont get me wrong I really enjoy technology. But like anything else technology is another tool that can break and rendered useless. It shows a vulnerability in our society as far phsyical structure as well as how we interact with one another on a daily basis.
