Power Outage

A recent power outage has made me realize how relient on technology people are. Just think of everything you use everyday and think if it needs electricity. The digital alarm clock, hair dryer, lights in your room, your car, and computers. Just think of how different your life would be if you didn't have all these luxuries. More than half of the world deals with it yet when things break or go down on us, the world stops. This power outage rendered everything useless pretty much and all of the people I know were saying they couldnt do anything because the power wasnt on. It was just so suprising to think of all the people not doing anything because the power was off. I wonder what the future will be like and will we be even more relient on technology and everything will be shut down when the power goes out or will we learn how to continue our day even though we have no technology.

I agree I think that we need to step back a little and realize how much we rely on electricity. I must admit, it was kind of nice when it went out because it was quiet and peaceful!
