A world without electricity
Many things we have all taken for granted. For example: We tend to take our parents for granted until their last few years when we wake up and realise how important and precious they are in our lives. Of the many things we take for granted, electricity is one of them.
Electricity is always readily available. When we turn on our lights, it is always there for us, allowing us to light up the entire room with just a flick of a switch. When we require access to devices such as the computer, we just turn on the power plug. We are really taking for electricity granted, using it to our convenience without thinking, what the world would be like without electricity.
Without electricity, the taking the train would not be a pleasant experience at all. Firstly, you might be taking the train from an underground station. It would be all dark without electricity to light up the place. It is very easy for people to be killed due to accidents especially at the train doors. The train itself may be able to move as it may be relying on petrol. Yes, the train can move, but without air-conditioning and lighting which require electricity, the train would be hot, humid and dark, especially during peak hours and in tunnels.
A world without electricity is a horrible place to be in. Midnight strolls would never be possible, although you may choose to carry a lamp with a fire in it during your little stroll in the nearby park. Yes, not everybody goes out for midnight strolls. But when the sky darkens, you wouldn’t be able to see a thing. At night, it would be very easy for someone to get lost and late night shoppers would have a really hard time shopping for the items that they want.
Things such as light and air-conditioning which are require electricity would be non-existent. The closest comparison to a world without electricity is a blackout; just that a blackout is just temporary hell while a world without electricity is the real thing. We should really stop taking electricity for granted and really appreciate it, especially when it is readily available for our usage.
