2012 (along with most other end of the world stories) were either made up by trolls or paranoid people. The world is going to end when it's going to end. It could be 2 minutes, it could be 2 billion years.

So, think 2012 really is going to be the end? Or is this really what everyone has been crying over?
No predictions say that the world will end only that it will change as we know it which many took to the extreme and said the world would end. it could also be something incredibly good like an efficient cure for cancer. however it could also be the total loss of all electronics like this artical states

*sigh* i wish i could go back and exterminate the mayas so there would be no doomsday annoying crap

it was funny at first but now it's just a bad joke i mean there was a movie about it come on!

the world was supposed to end in the year 2000 as well...

1. This has already been brought up on the Escapist somewhere before.
2. Some scientists are saying this will be worse, but the prediction is it won't be as strong as one that happened earlier this century.
3. Your definition of technology is... well... pretty fucked up. You know, not only things developed in the last 100 years are tech, right? Feather pens are technology. So are wheels. Even pointy sticks are technology.

Ok, we should be worried but not THAT worried.

1. As many before pointed out before, a lot of the systems of the world are protected from such flares because they were made to be protected from the similar EMP's.

2. The likelyhood of it actually hitting Earth is very slim. We are just a tiny spec that doesn't even get a 100th of the sun's energy, thus most storms are just going to miss us.

Strike 1, we are already in Solar Cycle number 24, since it began in 2008.

Strike 2, you forgot that Earth is surrounded by magnetic field.

Strike 3, If you havent heard it directly from NASA representatives, dont believe it.

You're out !
Strike 1 correction.... if you read the article rather then reading just my comment underneath "The reason for the concern comes as the sun enters a phase known as Solar Cycle 24." Baring in mind that techincally its still only starting this new phase (before you say "oh but its already started")
Strike 2 yes we might be. But thats the problem. The size of this Solar Max means that only SOME of the damage will be relflected by the Magnetic Field. The rest will effect us.
Strike 3 if you read the report, the people FROM NASA spoke to them, plus if you read their website you will find a lot of infomation. The newest is in the link below. Yes, they are not saying how much damage will be done. But there are tonnes of stuff going around all saying the same thing. I dont hear NASA denying it.

Read it for yourself. Facts point to a global break down of ALL electronics due to the sun having a repeat Solar Storm but this time, WORSE.
All this because the sun will be entering its phase known as Solar Cycle 24


So, think 2012 really is going to be the end? Or is this really what everyone has been crying over?

Then again, without technology, do we really know how to survive?

You're a moron, we're hit by solar storms every single day.
If I remember right then the magnetic thingamajick saves us and do you know how far the sun is from our planet?

Silly bugger.
Yes we do... but not like THIS http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2006/10mar_stormwarning/

DUE TO DISCREPANCIES IN THE MAYAN CALENDAR THE END OF THE WORLD WOULD EITHER HAVE BEEN 50 YEARS AGO OR 50 YEARS FORM NOW.

ARGH

Don't worry, paranoia is never the solution.
If all electronics would go down then they would restore them again either in a couple of hours or days.
But, really think for a bit, we got the magnetic field and protective layers such as ozon and things like that for a reason.
