If the earths magnetic poles do switch it's not like we'll wake up one fine day and find all our compasses pointing to the south. The switch is a process that takes anywhere from 100 to a few thousand years to complete.

One cool thing about a pole switch is that we may see things like the Aurora Borealis on the equator.
