Black Screen

In the modern world, man's reliance on technology increases exponentially. A rich Russian patriot decides that he can design a plan to make his mother country, Russia, relevant on the world stage. Convincing a computer genius to become his master manipulator, our protagonist launches a computer program that will change technology forever. Cyberterrorism and hacking are two common practices that can have a major effect on mankind. In a world that needs technology and electrical power, what if one day the systems that controlled it came to a screeching halt? It could be possible that instead of guns and nuclear warfare, modern war would invoke technological interruption. When looking at our cell phones, computers, and the myriad of electronic devices, including television, what if one day we were staring at a Black Screen?
