While at my day job, a computer programmer, a power hick-up
knock down the computer system on which I work.
Everything else was still running.
We had lights, air conditioning, and PC’s. But without the system that runs the
business, there was not much that could be done.
We rely on electricity to power all our stuff. Everything now needs power, either by
plugging in, batteries, or both. And
when we do not have access to that power, look out. We are lost without our gadgets to entertain,
or instruct, or direct us. We will
scream at our supplier and expect to find discounts in our bill for the lack of
service. We lose our tempers with our
family and neighbors. And we will spend
small fortunes on generators to provide emergency power for our home to power
the essentials, freezers, refrigerators; and the non-essentials like TV’s and
computers. We count on having power and
are lost without it.
