Can You Cope Without Modern Conveniences?

Should we say that technology has caused more effect than good to us in this generation? Because of the look of things, technology advancement has really gotten me so much that it sometimes affects my daily activity. Today, for instance, was supposed to be a fun day for me, but it was the other way around, as it was a big boring day for me as a result of my phone, which was dead due to power outages. For the past few days, there has not been a power supply in my vicinity, and this has affected many of my activities and even my usage of my phone daily.

So today, I started on a little dull note, which was boring and dry as a result of the lack of water in my apartment, and we could not get a generator to pump water that we can use, but instead I went out to the neighboring apartment where they are pumping water that will be used for building. I had no choice but to use this water for both bathing and cooking because I had no choice at all, and no one would be in a room where everything you use is very dirty.

After doing all that, I was able to make some meals for my breakfast, and then I scheduled my day as I wanted it to go, but in between, I was wondering what I would do to make my day very fast, and I wouldn't be able to think about a boring day. So I started watching a Nollywood movie I had on my phone with 52 percent battery capacity and after some time, I was done, and I was left with just 25 percent, and it was still around noon by then.

Then I could not use my phone again because I didn't want it to die off totally, so there was nothing else to do, and when I started gallivanting around, I became restless because I couldn't chat, view things going online, or do anything else. I tried forcing myself to sleep, but I kept having my head disturbed because there was no way I could sleep in that condition, and I do not consider myself an afternoon sleeper, so it was hard for me.

I carried on with the boring day like that, and after many hours of boredom, I was able to charge my device a bit, and then the day was being lightened up to some extent, but as of then, it was very close to evening, so there was nothing much again. Then I imagined how I was able to cope with today's boredom. It was very tough for me today, and I do not think I can stay in a place without electricity because it is part of what makes life better, and most especially for people like me that use devices so much, it will be hard to cope.
