A World without Electricity

Without a doubt, electricity is the one indispensable technological invention of modern life. It not only keeps all machines operating continually, but also allows information to transmit quickly. For Taiwanese, it is hard to imagine what life would be like without electricity in the long term. However, people who live in remote and underdeveloped regions need to accept this inconvenience in their daily lives. Not having any electronic communication devices, the news from the outside world would most certainly be blocked out.  Without air-conditioning, their lives in the summer would also be extremely uncomfortable.

Although a world without electricity sounds inconvenient, life can be peaceful and quiet. It is the total opposite to the hustle and bustle of a world with electricity.  We can easily access a great variety of information from the outside, but it conversely might upset the calmness and harmony of our mind. Our mood may be easily influenced by the overload of information. However, I believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Although the world is always noisy and busy in modern life, I am unwilling to live in a world without electricity. After all, summer without air-conditioning is too uncomfortable for me to bear!
