Importance of Electricity

During my third or fourth week in UKM, disaster struck--the whole was out of electricity!! It wasn't any ordinary blackout that last for only few hours, this blackout lasted for days. Some faculties like FEP didn't have any electricity for days and has interrupted our class causing a few classes to be postponed. Fortunately, our college has to bear this torture only for a few hours but other colleagues were just bad. During that period of time only I stressful thought arose like "How am I supposed to charge my phone and laptop? and "how am I gonna stay here tonight?"

Then only I realised the importance of electricity...

Electricity is the key component to modern technology and without it most of the things that we use every day simply could not work, and would never have bee n created. Our mobile phones, our computers, the Internet, our heating systems, our televisions, our light bulbs - nearly everything in the home would be completely different. There would be completely different systems put in place in the home to ensure that we can remain warm, and to ensure that we can live properly every day.

Imagine how different things would be today without the Internet. The World Wide Web has had a huge effect on our lives. It has made everybody more aware of the world they live in, and it’s allowed them to learn about our surroundings and know more about how near enough everything within modern society works. It is our gateway for knowledge, and allows us to find out nearly anything within a matter of seconds, hence, electricity has made us an incredibly intelligent and aware society.

It’s also allowed us to become healthier. Without electricity, hospital equipments would not work like the X-ray. Electricity, can saves lives and allows people to live longer. So not only are we are more aware and intelligent society but we have become much healthier.
