Is EMP a real threat?

Do you feel like nations are prepared?  It seems like it should be a top priority.  Anyway, from what I know it isn't.  Well, how would you react in such a disaster?

What better way to start a war than to hit people with what they are addicted to- technology. EMPs would wipe out transportation & shut down computers. We would be literally stranded. Then hospitals run on computers so many would succumb.

I don't feel people take it seriously. The people & nations focus on such minute issues that, in the grand scheme of things, don't really matter.

I like to unplug often & have physical media. It would be scary at first but those who are not on 24/7 would be more equipped to handle it than those tied to their phones.

Not preparing is suicide cause it doesn't even have to be a military attack.  Well, in the 19 century, a huge emp like thing happened naturally.

Anyone who watches tech and sci-fi movies will definitely understand how devastating an EMP bomb threat is. I have seen in it several times to know that it's something very scary. I think it's in Halo TV Series in episode one that I last watched it being used in a small a small scale, imagine what it can do when used in global scale.
