Depends on your meaning of depending. If it based on what you said, then slightly. If you mean on any level, absolutely. Let's say every microchip failed at once, not talking emp whipping out all electronics, just micro chip products. We would be sent back to the turn of the 20'th century, hell, maybe even to just before.

I'd have to say, that any electrical device, with a switch, made in the last 15 years, has a micro-processor in it.
Never before, in Human history, have we depended on a technology so much, yet understood it so poorly.

Yup I got them , I sent you a hand written letter a couple days ago. You still havent got it ? If only there was a way to instantly connect people from all over the world *sigh*
I fully understand the significant role computers play in our society, however, the computer is just another tool designed to take advantage of electric power, and quite often needs support from other tools that also need electric power.
Cut the power and the computer is useless, as is every other tool the computer is tasked with controlling.
Look at indoor growing as an example. While you can say that a computer is needed to manage and direct power at the electric company side, you could always avoid the electric company and run a generator for your power needs. You can run your lights, cooling, and venting without a computer, but not without electricity produced by some means in your span of control, ie fuel, solar, hydro, etc...
While many, if not most, of the tools we use today are controlled by some type of computer, many are still functional without the computer, but not without electricity, and this over-reliance on electricity will prove problematic in the future IMO.

our lifestyle is completely artificial and the it's sad because most of us are forced into this kind of lifestyle... I wish i could have my own land enough to farm and live naturally instead of relying on a food store and such...that's the biggest nightmare i imagine for most people because of something drastic happens pretty much everyone is going to die that isn't living off the land or isn't properly prepared.

I'm fairly certain androids are going to kill us all before we have to worry about no more computers or electricity...
And unless the universe suddenly changes how it works electricity is not gonna disappear... Your personal ability to harness it may be diminished... but it's gonna be here regardless...
