I would like to see everything electronic rendered useless and irreparable. Maybe people would enjoy nature again when this happens.

LOL! A nice gamma ray burst coming in from a nearby supernonva could grant your wish,...or maybe some short-term relief from some human generated low-level EMP's,.....then again,...if all of technology collapsed and the urban dwellers came pouring into the wilds,...sigh,...there goes the neighborhood! I rather enjoy the backwoods as they are right now.

a strong enough EMP from the Sun would probably burn out more than just Electronics!
Most likely some Appliances would become nothing more that Door-stoppers!
