I don't have a smartphone, there are probably several hundreds or thousands in the UK who don't, but the vast majority of people have one. I understand we live in a socially connected world and having one makes our lives easier supposedly-but how would you all cope in a world without them? I'd feel as splendid as if the electric grid went down-because we don't need electric and we don't need mobile phones.

I was just going to comment that I would be happier and more relaxed, like I was growing up without phones/smart phones. It was great - I would love it to be in a world without smart phones.
But then your last line where you grouped in electricity? I mean, that's a bit different.. If that just went away, many would die and it would be an absolute disaster.

As for living without electricity-I don't see any other animals on this planet that require electricity to live. Yes many would die without electricity but that's how we're meant to be-that's our primordial living standard.

That's madness. If we suddenly lost power it would be chaos. Do you know how much of the country doesn't require power to operate?

Madness indeed in this age, but I think it'd be lovely because then we'd be living how we're meant to in the first place until we decided that we're superior to all other lifeforms.

Well I hope you don't need police or medical help because it won't be coming.

Pfft the police, we don't need police when we have tribalism embedded into us. Medical support can be conjured up with the knowhow.

Not really. Pre power, people spent all their spare time surviving. Without power you would have no recreation or relaxation. Washing up would take hours as you'd have to heat water and we would be back to the days of taking a whole day to wash your clothes.

That's the point, everything has to be so immediate these days it generally makes us more lax and unfussed. If we had to wash our clothes manually every day then that's good, but we could always do away with clothes altogether it's too much of a hassle.
