Sure, no problem.
Can you imagine three-fourths of the US without any "electronics"? Computers, cell phone, televisions, radios - all dead. No power at all. No transportation, no cars, no rail, no planes. No food - Without computers you can't ship anything, which doesn't matter much being as the majority of the trucks are dead - but, no power, you can't store anything, and without power you can't buy anything.
In a heartbeat we would be back in the stone ages. No power, no communication, no food, no transportation. And I'm guessing I'm missing a lot.
