Yup, the inventions of Michael Faraday in the 19th Century have saved all our knackers every time we turn on the microwave oven!

Bring back clockwork aeroplanes. I seem to remember there was comment a few years back on how "agricultural" some of the Soviet aircraft were, and the thinking was that a thermonuclear blast could knock out FBW and all the other advanced stuff.
