#52 Appreciation: Electricity

BLACKOUT!

I think I will get used to it in the past but not today. Given the privilege to use computers, mobile phones, WiFi... I just doubt that I can live without electricity supply. I recall the days where we experienced sudden blackout at night.... Back then, a bunch of us (the kiddos) will be so excited (although we cant watch Cartoon Network). Why? Because we can play with fire candle(Woops)! Those days, we can only light up candles during birthday celebration or lantern festival, other than that, those candles were kept far from us. Beside lighting the candles, that is also the time where we "cook" (the grass and burn paper and insects) and
not to forget the paper fan that we handmade...

*Back to topic*

With electricity, our life has ease so much and convenient. We have light at night, heater during winter, fan and air-conditional when we feel hot and heaps more. Especially in public area, we just consume as much electricity that we feel like. "We are paying others for our convenience, and because we pay, so we tend to forget the need of conserving it." Quoting the sentence from one of the celebrity in a reality show, and I cant agree more than that. The selfish nature in us lead us to act that way, without remembering the electric generators and the harm towards the mother nature...

Food for thought "How much energy we need to consume and how much we can save?"
