From the New York Times site yeasterday:

Ricardo Ramos, the chief executive of the government-owned Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, told CNN on Thursday that the island's power infrastructure had essentially been "destroyed."

Mr. Ramos said residents would need to adjust to a new way of life, changing how they cook and how they cool off. He said adjustments would be particularly difficult for a younger generation that has grown up playing with electronic devices and taking power for granted.

"It's a good time for dads to buy a ball and a glove and change the way you entertain your children," he said.


He does have a point. We're going to find out something about what happens when a population used to iPhones and XBoxes suddenly has them taken away.
