On Sunday night i decided to experience a night without electricity. My first reaction was i thought about my phone and how i knew my friends would probably text me and i wouldn't be able to reply, so what i did was it txtd the people i knew would probably txt me and i just let them know i was going to bed really early. The experience i got out of this was relaxation for the most part. Once there wasn't any natural light coming in to my bed room i lite up 2 big candles that would help me relax but still be able to see so i could complete some homework. i started to read a chapter for my Econ class. As i was reading i found it a little hard to concentrate with such little lighting, so i stopped and i began to do my math homework. That was a succes i was able to complete most of it without a problem, it did take me longer that usual but for the most part i was fine. i then looked at my watch and it was 10:00 pm already and i still wasn't tired. I decided to organize all the shoes under my bed. As i was finishing up my mom walked in my room and asked me why was i hiding in my room with no light, TV, computer, or phone. I explained to her how this was a project for my Art class. She said "wow thats a good thing ! this way you actually have time for your self and u have some time away from your phone and the computer" i laughed and then agreed with her. At this point there was nothing else left to do so i decided to go to bed :).
I enjoyed this experience, i have never done it other than when the lights have gone out because of crazy storms during the winter. i would do it again, but i defiantly wouldn't be able to live with out electricity after knowing what it feels like having all the technology we have now.
