Week 211. Electricity, support of modern life.

Nice day Hivers from the Weekend Experiences Community. @galenkp is always very creative with the topics he selects each week. His topics are always very interesting. This time one of his questions is whether we could live in a world without electricity.

If we were to analyze the question lightly, we would immediately answer yes. Electricity was not present in the different evolutionary stages of the human being and the human body does not need it to perform any biological function. On the other hand, man, as a species, is capable of adapting to even the most adverse situations and finding creative solutions to the different issues that life imposes on him.

But if we analyze the question more deeply we will see that humans do not live in isolation. We are social beings and our existence depends, to a large extent, on the society we build. So if electricity disappears, the modern society we know and love so much disappears, and I say society, not human beings. There is not a single sector that functions without electricity. In fact, much of the scientific and technical development of human beings is thanks to electricity. She marked a before and after in the history of mankind. If we analyze in detail each sphere of society, such as transportation, communications, education, science, economy, industry, food and health, we will see how electricity has boosted development in these areas.

Just looking at medical services alone, we will see that without electricity, life support for critically ill patients would be affected. The production of medicines would be affected. Operating rooms, clinical laboratories, X-ray, ultrasound and tomography equipment would stop working, not to mention other services offered in the different health institutions. All this translates into a decrease in life expectancy and quality of life. Diseases would attack us and we would have no tools to fight them. Thus, the process of natural selection would be more evident in the human species. Because even if doctors had the knowledge to diagnose diseases, they would have no way to save patients' lives.

In the area of communications we would be practically isolated, because although man already had different means of communication before the discovery of electricity, it can't be denied that they were not very effective compared to our current means of communication. Furthermore, the development and discoveries produced in an area of the planet would be limited to that small space, since there would be no way to generalize them, for the benefit of humanity, as we currently do with the Internet.

In the field of science, the sophisticated equipment that allows scientists to perform their work with greater precision would be rendered useless. This would imply a stagnation in the understanding of our environment, our body and the Universe in general.

Here are some examples. It is very complicated to describe in depth all that would be affected in every sphere of society if electricity did not exist. The subject in question is very broad.

In short, we would continue to exist as a species, but our life would be very different from the one we know. It would be a very basic existence, with few comforts and a very limited life expectancy. It would change our way of interpreting the world, not to say that we would once again be amazed to see the sun rise, or perhaps we would ask ourselves: What is lightning?

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I choose electricity to share ideas like this, and light spaces where we may gather.
