Phone service, internet, electricity, hot water and all these things that are used to, that we use everyday, the change of not having them from one day to another is drastic. Yesterday, a huge storm approached and I hasn’t stopped since then, it took all of those things away from my house, it was 1 am and in my mind I said, “It will come back tomorrow”, it didn’t. The first thing my body did when I couldn’t see was to reach the light, every single time I would walk into a room, light switch, it was just so automatic for me, I didn’t even think it through. After, My mom had to do a task for the accountant and I drove her near the city where there was 4G, it was not fast but it kinda worked to send things, she sent the file to the accountant and they replied “thank you for the file, but with no internet the only thing we are doing in the office is staring at the wall”, they also had no electricity and 4G that barely work wasn’t sufficient for their job. We are so used to have all these things, we need them to work, study, cook, shower, or for other tasks, now a days everything is so digitalized, even our security door opens with an app. It is not that Im not normally grateful for these things, I am, but from having everything to nothing from one day to another one, made me really aware of the dependency we have for technology, it is actually more shocking that I thought.
