I know you will say that I am exaggerating on that one, but this is exactly how I feel right now… In the Dark Ages…
Over the past few days we’ve been experiencing quite a few issues with our electrical supply. Power Cuts, Surges, lighs blinking a lot and as of today more time without electricity than with any at all…
No TV, no computers (how am I supposed to work without my computers on?!?! can you tell me that? Well… there is the MACBook, but then what do I do when the battery is over… and even then… what’s the point of having the laptop when there is no internet because there is no electricity?
Which then brings me to more serious issues… also… no heating!!!!!! No hot water for showers… today I mostly smell like a baby wipes… no… don’t ask… you know the answer anyway…
Power supply spent the whole day teasing me today… it came on for 5 minutes… the 20…. then back to 2 minutes and sometimes just a few seconds… How is one supposed to live like that???
And that is not the worse part!!! MY iPhone IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!! Somehow I’ve managed to short circuit it plugging it to charge after using outside when it was marginally damp….
I feel totally cut off from the world… I know this kinda sounds ridiculous… after all one can always go out and speak to real people instead… right?!?! riiiight????!!!! I mean… people did that for like forever before the invention of social networks and other things… Is not imposible… right?!! right?!?!?!!?
*mentally opens the door and sees the empty street… EMPTY*
HOW ON EARTH DID PEOPLE USE TO LIVE LIKE THIS??????
Staying at home was driving me insane… so I picked up my laptop and made my way to Bluewater and am now sitting here in the middle of a million people and… talking to other people over the internet… hehe… hehe…
I wonder what would happen to all of us constantly plugged into this or that social networks, yes… plural… most people I know is in more than one… twitter, facebook, orkut, myspace, path, instagram… what would they do if they sudenly couldn’t share thoughts, news, photos, videos etc almost instantly…. what would it happen if you had to go back to waiting days… maybe months to receive news? What would happen to the world if we were to truly go back to the dark ages in the blink of an eye?
Wow… all of a sudden this post has totally been blown out of proportion now… lol… but it raises a valid point… One that I’d love to hear your point on… what would you do today if in a blink of an eye the lights came off and never came back on????
How dependent on technology are you???
