    Default The world closing in

    As the world further advances in the field of technology, nearly everything is becoming dependent on electricity.

    So a good question for folks to discuss, Do you think the human race could survive a long term period of no electricity at all?

    Please give a reason why or why not.

    Can we still use steampower and windpower, etc ? Or is automation of all kinds disallowed in this hypothetical?

    We can survive without electricity. We did it before and we can do it again!

    All power bro, back in the caveman kind a days, stick and rock.

    @Others, you also have to factor in how dependent we have become on electricity. humans survived when they had no choice but to adapt.

    I'm going to think he's talking general technology and electricity, I think people would have
    heart attacks (metaphorically of coarse) if they didn't have technology. Honestly, I don't
    the world... yes world... could even function with out it. People, and business's, not to
    even think about mentioning medicine, are very dependent on technology and electricity.

    Edit: I started writing before you said full power


    So, with full blown power outage... it'd be like a really BAD epidemic, yea, you can maybe survive
    without it, but the death toll would rise so fast, you wouldn't know what happened.

    And so we'll adapt because we'll have to. It's human nature!

    Well if we can't even use things like windmills to help grind grain and such, life will continue.

    It will just slow to a crawl. Not being able to use mechanical shortcuts, means every tedious task of food preparation must be done with manual labor. We'll go back to 90% of our active time being spent on agriculture and food preparation for survival. But, we'll live on.
