Can you imagine a world without electricity, and therefore virtually no technology ? We depend on it for almost everything and if we did not have no doubt that a lot of things would stop working, not to mention surely unleash panic around the globe because many would not be prepared.
But why suddenly we're talking about a world without electricity? In these last days we have been making notes about the three days of darkness in 2012 , also mentioned various theories on December 21, 2012 and even talk about what to do during the 3 days of darkness . It happens, as you already know all that is said on December 21, a solar storm or a similar phenomenon will leave the planet without power for 72 hours. Living in the dark is one thing, but could become worse if the event that destroys our electricity networks across the globe, which would take years to be restored. What would the Earth if we had no electricity? If anyone has seen the Revolution series can then get a good idea of what might happen, but if not, here are some possibilities shuffle.
Imagine instantly stay without mobile, no electricity, no computer , no Internet, no vehicle to move, without heating, etc.. There is no doubt that we have become too dependent on technology. Finally, we find so much technology here and there has made us less independent beings and in turn more materialistic. The problem here would be that we have a lot of technology, but the technology did not use it properly. Technological development has driven mankind for generations and has led us to where we are today.
With no electricity the world would be plunged into chaos as we have said, it is likely that governments fall rapidly due to the lack of technology to accomplish their tasks. Who would be in power then? Well there are two possibilities: one, which would leave many nations in a state of anarchy, or citizens choose someone to guide them in this new life.
We would also see many things in the world that abounded centuries ago, such as large sailboats, people would start to use more farm animals, the horse would be the primary means of transportation along with steam trains . Coal once again occupy its position as the world's No. 1 fuel. Probably also would have to resort to using candles lighting and fire as occurred for thousands of years.
The manufacture of medicaments totally change, people having to resort to more traditional medicines. Certain medical instruments also would be useful, which would see a greater number of patients. By becoming a little less materialistic, it is likely that people begin to reject the money and precious metals, opting for the old system of barter to get what they need.
In short, the lifestyle probably fall back to about 1850, though of course with some differences.
What do you think about this? How do you imagine the world without electricity?
