Where has the power gone...

Published on June 3, 2004 By Clonmelchat In Philosophy

4.20pm working away at my computer than nothing! The power was out all over and I was at a standstill. No power meant no work could be done than the realisation my life was dependant on power, ELECTRICITY was running my life. Then the darkness crept in and the search for candles began it was luck that someone in the house collected then, scented, sculptured, colored and so on. The scent of lavender filled the air and the flicker of light was the only source of heat in the house. All my heating is gas and needs the power too.

I sat staring at the flame and realised society has become dependant on many new inventions. Electricity being the main one and all others feeding from it. No tv, No radio, No light, No Heat, No cooking and no communication apart from the phone that too needs power. Will the removal of power cause the downfall of society as industry is so dependant on it to produce food, clothing, communication and transport. The lack of power for many will reduce their position in society as political figures must now meet face to face with the public, without any speechwriters to feed the questions. Transport including cars, ships and planes without computers and electrics to power them. Countries become isolated and cultures change for the good/bad.

that what happened to me and 30 hours later there's still no light at the end of this tunnel. The laptop is charging from the power socket and with some luck I might catch up on the cyber world soon. This blog is thanks to the sacret power of the college and if they charged for it I would be happy to pay whatever it costs. Is society at the hands of these multinational companies and if so who has the real power.
