Sounds about right. Maybe if we'd all had monkey butlers, dat apocalypse wouldn't have happened in the first place~

I figure not that the Apocalypse is over, why not live it up a little.

Dunno, I've seen humans perform amazing heroic acts in the face of danger and I've also seen them pull the smeggiest cowardly shit on friends, neighbors and family. Not sure I believe in so called "human nature" at this point but I'd rather take my chances by casting my lot in with a few strangers than face the apocalypse alone.

You don't pay enough attention to human nature, let alone post apocalyptic fiction.

Oh, just say it: cannibalism

That radio contact can be re-established so quickly. I think it was like, 15 mins? During the original A-Bomb tests, this was, for the Manhattan Project.

Yea they do that a lot in movies and games, but if I had a nice big knife or gun, a radio, but not too much food, you know what I'd do? Set up a trap to rob people! (Even if they had no food of their own, I'm assuming a barter economy, along with radios, is one of the quicker things to spring up).

You're not going to be the last man on earth. The idea of just one or two people in one area surviving has always been the silliest idea in my mind.

Also, that idea is a GREAT way to end up dead.

That's assuming there was anyone left to talk to :)

I could also see setting up a transmitter powered by solar panels jacked from construction signs or like a car battery or whatever, to broadcast a looped message. Something to the effect of "we are at [x position] heading to [y position] meet us there" in case there are any survivors listening. Hey it's the post apocalypse, we should all hang together right?

Man, you can communicate around the world if you know how to properly work a HAM set.

Post-apoc, radios would become the only long distance communication we had. They are very simple devices and don't break quickly because they have no moving parts. They last for years, all you need is a little electricity. My roommate still has a CB in his truck and still uses it occasionally. Come doomsday, everyone could dig their old CB's and walkie talkies out of the garage and dust them off because that mobile phone in your pocket? it's basically a paperweight now.

That we still rely heavily on radio communication, or how quickly remote regions can be separated from the communication network?

Same actually. Colour blindness blows.

Gee, that's kinda weird. It does put me in mind though, and this ties in with the first post, of how quickly they could get radios up and working post-atom blast. Obviously radios are pretty simple, but it's still rather surprising.
