On the night of December 3, when the lights in Times Square dimmed and then flickered off, Twitter users and bystanders captured photos of New Yorkers rushing down Fifth Avenue to get out of harm's way.

That was the last blackout in Times Square before the It's a Wonderful Life movie played to the audience. And it came on the heels of an incident where hundreds of thousands of people were without power for five days after winter storms dumped 15 inches of snow on New York City.

As we learned from that experience, in 2024, it is possible for a state of emergency to be declared without warning. In the era of smartphones, social media and the Internet of Things, the danger of not only going dark but going incognito or unplugged is becoming more dangerous with every passing year.

The internet is connected to most everything. And most everything has a computer. The average American household uses more electricity than any other single appliance or device. And the percentage of households that consume 50% or more of their household electrical needs from one source ie, power companies is growing.

We need to understand this is the new normal, said Bruce Riedel, director of the Intelligence Project at the Brookings Institution. What we have seen is the average American family is now using electricity in ways we could never have imagined 20 years ago.

It's really scary. If a state of emergency results in a state of confusion, so, too, does a blackout. And if the blackout is a surprise and few are people in places that go to darkness don't necessarily know what they're supposed to do. It's called social panic.

The 'Internet of Things'. It's also the Internet of Things, Riedel says. The number of Internet-enabled devices is growing exponentially and people aren't sure what the impact will be. In his book Devices and the Future, Riedel points to the example of the refrigerator that now has a microchip that allows it to talk back to the person who is using it.

I know my refrigerator says you forgot milk, but why did I forget milk?

said Sissy, as they walked along the side of the road.

I found your name and address on a piece of paper you dropped in front of me when I rescued you from the hotel. I followed your trail of clues, it was easy to track you down because of your unusual surname. I guess you're not a very popular name amongst the people who run the world.

I don't like it any more than the next person, but I haven't the time to argue about it, said Sissy, I'm leaving for Brazil tomorrow. Oh no, you're not! said Mark. What's happened? Not much has happened, said Sissy. I just changed my mind about running away. If you'll give me a few minutes I'll tell you why.

What about the job I have for you? asked Mark. I'll get back to that later, said Sissy, taking his hand, but now let's talk about what's happened to me. I think we should make a deal, said Mark. If you'll let me go with you to Brazil, I'll do everything in my power to help you find your father.

And what if you don't? Then I'll find someone else who will, said Mark. It's the least I can do for the girl who saved my life.

I think we both know I couldn't do it on my own, said Sissy, but I'd be very grateful if you'd come with me. You won't regret this, said Mark, I know you won't. Good, said Sissy, I hope you don't regret it either. Mark sighed, OK, you've got yourself a deal.
