Black Out

“ Electricty is the set of physical phonemena asociated with the presence and flow of

ellectric charge. ” that is the Wikipedia deinition of electricity. Our world is divided into two

thanks to the sun as light and dark and the dark part is lightened by electricity since Thomas

Edison’s finding of the light bulb. However, in 2007, Chicago,Illionis, on the 7th of the June, 

at a normal day, everything was turned off. It was really clear that they were living in an

electric world, and everything decayed. Televisions, computers, factories, shortly everything

linked to electricty did not work. Governments collapsed the people who are smart left towns.

Going of the electricity, the black out leads to many consequences in several areas such as 

declining standards of living and there were people who constantly try to survive.

            At first, people’s living standards changed, they had to lighten their homes with

candles. Secondly, communication stopped for them by means of telephones, internet. Also

people who are far away from each other lived trouble of getting together because buses,

trains subways did not mean anything without  power. At that moment people started to

recognize that they belonged to a world which is designed luxuriously them since the

beginning of the humanity. The meaning of light had changed. In the past, with switching on a

button, there was a day-like light even in the  darkness light but now it was like the times of when Shakespeare had lived. 

            Secondly, life is filled with aggressive people who fight to survive because of illnesses

without medicines, scarcity of food, collapsing of the government and law systems. In time,

with factories not processing people started not to reach any kind of food source and people

who are in big towns are exposed to hunger, starve to death. As children of 21th century, they

are generally ignorant about medical issues. Simply they even have difficulty in staunching or

saving their ordinary woonds. As long as time passes, the problems got bigger, people started

to attack one another to enable themselves food, medicine and so on. Laws and governments

lost their sense, significance and validity because people wer hungry, aidless and hopeless.

They had to create their own hopes, lives by themselves. Moreover , with the cities becoming unsafe, people begin to migrate to rural areas, villages.

            In the city of Illionis we all have witnessed how deadly important the electricity is and  

what the possible consequences would be if it left us, forever. As a conclusion, thinking a

world without electricity means a world without light, hope, knowledge and many results that

we can not number or imagine. And it is simply because we can not cook the electricity, we

should use it more carefully and prudently.
