Radiation
I honestly and sincerely want a $500 watch with a geiger counter. When I come home from Iraq and I have $500 to blow on a new watch, I will be buying this watch.
Can you fathom a nuclear apocalypse? Thousands of years of civilization and human development washed away by our own technological advances. This isn't one of those natural disasters or biblical myths, nuclear apocalypse is as close as the nearest insane administration with the means to commit to it. It hovers over us like a radioactive dust cloud. The technology exists and it's waiting to obliterate worldwide society.
It's this kind of thing that terrifies me. Not terrorists or hurricanes or the ebola virus, just everything disappearing in a flash of light.
