IMAGINE THIS #1 -- Electricity Stops Flowing

Hypothetical Situation -- Electricity Will Stop Coming to the world tomorrow, all electrical appliances will become useless.

Questions For You:

- What will you miss the most? Which electrical appliance will it be...

- What will be your plan of action now? How will you survive if electricity was a big part of helping you survive

- Would a world without electricity eventually be for the greater good as population declines, humans go back to natures whim and evolution once again come into play for the human species?

Air conditioner, where i live the power goes out everytime the wind blows so i have learned to adapt lol. Candles, guns and water and i'm good to go.



- I will miss lights the most, in winter the heating!!!!!! (we have a gas boiler but I think some electrical thing goes into making it work in the end?)

- Plan of action will be to try to find out why electricity is gone, if nothing can be done about that then I'll have to live with it, loadsss of candles, fireplaces for the winter.....board games instead of PS3 :(

- While for evolution this would be good, as humans have made nature work for them now, instead of humans working for nature evolution has become stagnant. BUT for me no no no!!!

Considerring we only have an electric cooker I'll be missing hot food! Although lights and video games would be high on the list

If electricity goes then it'd probably be something to do with solar weather disrupting the transformers in powerstations, meaning there would be little most people could do about it. Survival would be high on the priority list until engineers could sort it out. It'd also mean no oil/fuel as power stations wouldn't be able to operate properly so cars will run out of fuel pretty quick so I'd probably need to get a bike/horse for transport (there's a stable relatively nearby). We live near a forest so I'd probably also get an axe and get as much wood as possible for fire and then ransack the local supermarkets for as much tinned food as possible (and some BBQs/Charcol).

And it'd be terrible for the world. As far as I'm concerned, our social development and civilisation is a part of evolution and losing electricity would throw us into a huge dark age. It'd take at least 50 years to recover.



I would go outside for the first time since 1 hours ago.

Even if that happens we always have Cole to bring electricity back to every.



Anyone who's breaking the law is obvious a criminal.

What I'd miss is the fridge. No more fresh food unless you live near the sea or a farm.

After that, would come water pumps to provide the cities with water and then the lights.

I do not know what strength is in my blood, but I swear to you I will not let the White City fall, nor our people fail.

You said this aragorn, now you give up hope?

Since gas and water would stop flowing too, I would worry first about getting fresh water. Living next to a river with plenty of trees that should not be too big of a problem.
There are farms nearby too, but how would I pay for food when all bank systems are down and thus my money is gone. My job would no longer exist. But they'll need plenty of help on the farms in trade with all the machinery not working anymore. No modern transportation will work anymore.
Guess I'll first learn how to fish and fish illegally to stay alive.

Things to do
- plant a vegetable garden
- build a cold cellar
- build a fireplace for winter
- build a wood stove

No more time for games.

Knowing how polluted almost every river/seas in the "1st world" are, you'd be better stay away from those fishes.

As for the job, not everyone needs to be a farmer, tailors, butchers or carpenters would also be useful.
