What would happen to modern technology if the magnetic poles "flipped"

History has shown that the Earth's magnetic poles have switched over past history.  How would a modern switch affect such technology as electrical generation, electric motors, and all things magnetic including Compasses and GPS.

Global warming and human beings

Probably is a blind shot, but I would like to ask if somebody has calculated the impact in global warming of the direct heat. I am thinking for example in the human population (almost 7 billion with a constant  average temperature of 36.5 º C). And not only that, but the average temperature of all the cattle in the world kept by humans, (billions of animals that otherwise wouldn´t exist). Also we could think in the heat from fires (both wildfires and the small ones) and the heat that escapes from our homes, vehicules or industries.

1. Is elapsed time the same anywhere in the Universe? 2. Does speed affect elapsed time?

I am intrigued by the nature of time. Chambers dictionary definition of time includes "... a quantity measured by angle through which earth turns on its axis". This would seem to suggest that the rate of a planet's rotation would change time. Or am I wrong again?
