Imagine and write your views on quality of life without electricity.

Answer:
Life without Electricity! Sounds torturous and unacceptable. Our lives are so dependent on electricity that even an hour of electricity cut seems like a never-ending time. More than ever before, we need electricity for almost all our works, from smallest chores like charging a mobile phone to powering industrial units. Science and technology have progressed with leaps and bounds making our lives more comfortable than ever before. Yesteryears luxury is a necessity today. Not everyone had electricity supply, in its initial development. As electricity became surplus, so did its supply and its varied applications which improved all aspects of our lives. Electronic gadgets for all the needs and comforts of our lives arrived like ‘An Angel to a Rescue’. No wonder that it increased our productivity, comfort and safety but it also made us its slave. Look around you, everything runs on electricity. The fan which gives you air, the speakers from which you hear music, the mobile phone with which you communicate et al. require electricity. Sitting in front of your PC doing your work or watching television, you suddenly become irritated when the power goes out. If its night, it is dark all around and if it is a day it’s hot without a fan or AC. The power cut is, even more, a nightmare for industrial establishments as they have a target to achieve and for how many hours can their generator support, even it has its limitations.
Life with no Electricity: Negative Effects
1:-Costlier Manpower: Work of all sorts would require man force in the absence of electricity. Countries which offered cheap labour will now command high prices as the machines won’t be as effective as they were. Manpower will become a major force and even more costly where labour is already highly paid. It also implies the unemployment of native labour and employment of overseas man force.
2:-Closure of Large Industries: Industries won’t be able to work properly or effectively without electricity. They require a high capacity of electric supply and will have to close down or reduce their operations in the absence or lack of electricity.
3:-The collapse of Economies: Closure of industries mean crippled economies. Each economy is dependent on the other partially or wholly. So when one gets affected the other gets affected too.
4:-A decrease in Productivity: Almost all the machines run on electric power. In the absence of electricity, industries won’t be able to save time due to automated machines. This will have a negative impact on the productivity of any production centre.
5:-Environmental Concerns: Non-availability of Electricity also raises environmental concerns. In order to meet their requirements, people would start indulging in cutting wood, hunting and poaching animals, start damaging primitive farming, clear green cover and so on. This would happen on a large scale without giving the nature the time to heal itself. The governments will too indulge in such activities as there would be hardly any viable option left.
A World without Electricity: Positive Effects
1:-Active Lifestyle: To a large extent, the scarcity or absence of electricity will make us more physically active. The time we spend on our entertainment by sitting in front of T.V, gaming consoles, net surfing and chatting etc. will be spent in outdoor activities which require physical movement of the body. Other chores will have to be done manually or mechanically which will also result in bodily movement.
2:-Cost Effective Renewable Sources of Energy: The non-renewable electric dependent organisations will be forced to look for viable options. These options are known to mankind for a long time but the efforts towards have been sluggish. Further enhancements and research towards these will make them available to all. Mass usage will result in mass production and consequently, these will become cost effective as well.
3:-Conservation of Environment: Electricity from the sun, wind, friction, tides, water etc. will become the major sources of energy. This will reduce the dependency on coal, wood, natural gas, oil etc. It implies more greenery and lesser destruction of the environment. Also, the energy derived from renewable sources of energy is largely pollution free which will result in the conservation of the environment.
