What would happen if the Global Positioning System stopped working — or at least working at 100% capability? If the satellites stopped operating and weren’t replaced, GPS would essentially stop functioning. If the number of satellites dropped below full operational capacity, GPS would only work some of the time and its accuracy would likely be greatly reduced.
If something like this came to pass:
1. How would the lack of GPS affect life on Earth?
2. What industries would be impacted by sudden deprivation of access to GPS?
3. What would be the effect on navigation at sea and in the air, and how would other kinds of travel be disrupted?
4. What would be the military implications if the world were suddenly deprived of GPS?
5. How would all of these factors affect your own life?
