Good question about what happens to the recruit if service is interrupted. When information is inaccessible and common sense must prevail, will they be able to adapt to the situation?
Further than that, will focus on the task at hand be sacrificed in favor of updating your FB status or texting your buddy about how "bored you are"?
Sometimes, the more knowlege we have access to, the dumber we become.

The reason I asked....
One time we had a power outage, the server, the light and phones went down all went down. And everyone was standing around with their thumbs up their ass waiting for things to return to normal.
I hooked the phone system to a portable generator and we could receive calls.....sarcastically someone said, great we have phones but we have nothing to enter orders on or check stock.
I then had to go to the supply closet and pull out 10 year old dusty order pads and pencils.....and explain how we conducted business the old school way.
For many people life stops without the convenient gadgets they have grown up with and rely upon.
