Reply to comment by sirnoggin in The Earth is subjected to a hail of subatomic particles from the Sun and beyond our solar system which could be the cause of glitches that afflict our phones and computers. And the risk is growing as microchip technology shrinks. by Sariel007

I disagree. Mechanical/technological life is just beginning to evolve on earth, compared to biological life. We've had a 4.7 billion year head start

The fact is mechanical life evidently cannot evolve on it's own. Hence my argument the universe seems to be geared toward killing it. This article being case and point. Give Bacteria a magnetic field and it'll be fine.
