Oh, the Flares of our Cosmic Star!

I know I don't talk about it as much when it comes to a project that I've been developing that takes place in the future; it's one of the first things I've talked about (I think) when I first started this blog in December of 2012. 
I'm always on the hunt to creating episode ideas for this particular series, one of which is an episode where a huge sun flare destroys much of man's technologies, in which basically plunders humanity back into the Stone Age. Dramatic, right?
Now, I know I don't bring this up much, but I love science and technology! I love to learn about any new developments in the science and tech world, and it always fascinates me. When I came up with the idea for this episode, I actually had no idea that this kind of threat actually exists right now. The YouTube channel SciShow Space explains it pretty well.
I mean I do look to recent developments in science and technology for episode ideas for this series, but sometimes I figure out that these ideas are in fact one step closer to reality. It's pretty cool, but something like this, however can be a real threat in this age when technology plays such a huge role in our society.
