The Shocking Truth: What Will Happen without Electricity?

What Will Happen without Electricity?

Disaster, doom in damsel, and final chaos. We are so habitual of electricity that it seems like a body organ working and we don’t really know it is there until it’s gone, like the liver or kidney giving us their lifetime support without complaint*. We use electricity everywhere and in everything. Especially in urban areas, our lives will be nothing without it, not even for a minute of the day. And if due to some technicalities the electricity seems to be cut we have backup power sets like generators, UPS, or solar systems.

Life in rural areas was considered to be backward and slow because they didn’t opt for electric devices but this now is a wrong claim. 

“The world has today 546 nuclear plants generating electricity. Their experience is being continuously researched, and feedback should be provided to all. Nuclear scientists have to interact with the people of the nation, and academic institutions continuously update nuclear power generation technology and safety”__ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.

It’s not just about the usage and accessibilities or luxuries. Now it’s more about saving and helping humans and other living kinds. Without electricity, many essential systems and services would be disrupted, and daily life would be greatly impacted. Let’s discuss a few, what will happen if electricity is not available?

Medical Centers

Patients’ lives and medical assistance are completely and utterly dependent on electric supplies. The near accuracy and successful result achieved were made possible. The belief of humanity has developed and matured in hospital treatment because they have decreased the probability of death or pain by advanced methods. Hospitals and other medical facilities rely on electricity to power medical equipment and keep critical systems running. Without electricity, it could be difficult to access medical care.

Even when there are some issues they have backup power systems and even backup systems to backup. Because machines that are kept on at all costs are working for critical times and stability of patients’ lives. Consider for one moment that all forms of electric power are not available in hospitals…patients on life support machines will die like leaves falling in autumn. 

Communication Centers:

All the communication whether mobile or emergency centers or ground or air traffic. Electricity is used to power the equipment and systems that allow for the transmission and reception of communication signals. These signals include all forms, some of them are telephone calls, internet data, and other forms of electronic communication. Without a reliable source of electricity, communication centers would not be able to operate effectively and efficiently.

Electricity plays a crucial role in enabling communication centers to function properly and provide reliable communication services to the public. Just have thought of one signal missed and the flight which is coordinating all time with signals from the earth, from one place to another but remaining in touch with the ground via signals; is on its own. It would be in danger. Without the information on the distance covered or what land is under it would collapse. 

Cooling Centers:

By cooling centers, we are not directing toward the malls or shopping centers of any kind. That is though important in gulf areas and wherever the temperature is high enough to boil man alive. But here we are directed toward the cooling centers where medicines, blood or test samples, or even organs are kept. Just like hospitals are temperature-sensitive areas same as medicines, medical equipment is kept in a dry cool place.

Why Electricity is Important in Our Daily Life?

The blood banks are temperature-sensitive areas and any failure in electricity or maintenance causes loss in many many precious critical savings. The power backups of such places are always more than that of another place because medical objects are not replaceable by any other product or machine-made thing. 

Production Centers

The factories or machines responsible for production make every small daily-based thing, whether it’s edible or an object. Our life in an urban city is always around easy food, easy clothing, and on-go carry-ons. These all products are not fallen from but rather made in factories and these factories run on electricity. What if we face a complete blackout of electricity for a month? It would be chaos. There will be less or no food and no packed snacks and the things available will be smuggled or high cost.

People would be so desperate that they would be killing each other. This is not a fantasy, this happened when COVID’s third wave hit us. People were hand to mouth food wise and had very spare daily use ornaments. So running these machines or factories is our source and life support systems. 

Security Centers:

The peace is only till the eye of the camera is watching. The one-minute glitch can cause a robbery, five minute glitch can cause a killing scene, and so on. Security cameras or data savers are all time ON. With the era beginning for decentralized systems…security is everything. The one-second glitch can lose millions or billions.

METAVERSE generally refers to a virtual world that is created and maintained by computer algorithms and that users can access and interact with through the internet. In this context, electricity is important because it is used to power the servers, computers, and other equipment that are necessary for the creation and maintenance of the metaverse, as well as the devices that users use to access and interact with it.

Powering the equipment and devices used to access and interact with the metaverse, it is also used to provide climate control in the physical locations where these devices are used. This is important for the comfort and safety of the people who use the metaverse, as well as for the proper functioning of the equipment. Electricity plays a crucial role in enabling the creation and maintenance of the metaverse and enabling people to access and interact with it.

Conclusion:

To conclude we are, as long as we have things that are important for our survival. If we are placed in the jungle for one day we won’t survive. Some may survive but they too have limits. Electricity is basic light to that. As the like sun is starting to a life of every food on earth same as that. We need it for EVERYTHING.
