Computers require a great deal of power and uninterrupted power, at that.
Hospitals, schools and offices have more and more equipment that demands consistent power supply. One reason for interrupted power supply is utilities can hit buried lines that are not recorded or were recorded wrongly when carrying out groundwork. While this leads to power interruption to customers it also poses a danger to work crews and passers-by. The difficulty in finding lines is due to the materials the lines are made from, the varying depths at which lines are buried and the quality of soils. Research into buried lines is continuing.
