Comforts technology has brought us.

Technology has gone a long way. It has made the life of human beings a lot more easier. Now that we are accustomed to the comforts that technology has given, can we survive without it? Just imagine if all sources of energy suddenly ran out.  Everything that runs on electricity or fossil fuels are rendered useless. What would you miss most?

I could survive without a TV or internet access for a long period of time. I guess I would have to read books to pass time. I think food would be a problem. We would have to grow our own food or hunt to eat. Canned goods would eventually ran out since electricity is needed to power the machines needed for its production.

Text messages and Email would become obsolete and we will once again rely on snail mail. For us to travel, we would have to use bicycle, horses, carriages or ships powered only by the wind. For us to cook, we have start to make our own fires. We would not be able to refrigerate food.

I got the idea about this topic while watching Survivor Philippines Celebrity Edition a few hours ago. Joining the show would mean that they won't be able to use any sort of gadgets for thirty days. They would have to find their own food. They would have to build their home manually. And instead of taking a ride to go to their destination, they would have to walk. Health care would also big problem. Technology has made it possible to make cure for certain disease. If medical machines like MRI machine, Xray or Ct Scan, finding cure for disease would be difficult. If somehow I was able to go back in time during the Middle Ages, I think it would e really hard for me to survive. Since I am already accustomed to the comforts technology has brought, It would be harder to adjust.
