What were you doing on Dec 26, 2008?
The day after Christmas....
I think everyone who lives in Oahu Island would have the same or similar experience.
On that day, I was in line around 30 minutes to buy some clothes for my aunt and sister. Suddenly, the power was out and I had to go out of the shop. Then I decided to go back home. However, there were too many people on the bus stop and no place for me. Therefore, I changed my mind to walk back my place. Actually, I was frightened but I tried to think that it was new experience for me and I should be enjoy with it. When I got home, I had nothing to do because everything was so dark. So, I just used a light from my cell phone to help me in taking a shower. After that I saw some Thai drama that I had already loaded form the internet. I could see it only about one hour before my labtop was run out of the battery. Then I went to bed.
After this event, I realize that everything in my life depend on electronic. I can do nothing without it. I cannot do my homework, connect with people, and entertain myself. In my opinion, I think people have learned to be with electronic since they were young. Everything was created by using power to run. Moreover, technology have been developing to help people do things much easier. Therefore, they may not be able to live without it anymore.

ReplyDeleteI agree with your post, that we have become so reliant on technology that we might not be able to live without it at this point. Technology literally runs our world. I found it funny to read that you used your cellphone as a light. As for laptops (and cellphones), they may last for an hour or more, but eventually, batteries will die and how can we recharge it without electricity? How can we contact the people we know and love?
