How people lived without electricity in the past Electricity is one of the greatest achievements of humanity. The term electricity was appeared in 1600. Many experiments have been conducted since those times while we will be able to use electricity. It has appeared in our houses little by little for the long time. Now we can't imagine our life without electricity. It delivers the light and warm in our houses, connects us with environment, helps us in some problems. How people lived without electricity in the past? In my opinion they lived so different but very interesting. They didn't pay any bills for electricity. They had candlelit dinner - it is so romantic! Comfort was attended their houses. Soft light and the smell of candles reigned everywhere. Nothing can prevent a silence, peacefulness and tranquility of people especially in the evening. They did absolutely different things: more read books, wrote books, played in chess and other table games, played on the streets, more talked with each other and sang songs. Also people had many children because they had more time for each other. It seems to me they had more time in general because they had another interests and values. Some cases of course took more time: hand washing, ironing, cooking - I believe they coped quickly with it together. Their food was healthier because they lived off for land and rose all without pesticides and chemicals. Also biorhythms were healthier electromagnetic waves did not affect on them. People lived more eco-friendly. They were different people. I guess I was able to live in that time. But we have already forgotten about it. Of course then and now the same dangers lie in wait for us. Then we used fire, now we use electricity. But in any case we must not show carelessness and irresponsibility in handling fire and electricity. The consequences can be unpredictable. Today our life seems to us easy with mobile phones, laptops, washing machines, vacuum cleaners. But we can't imagine how we harm the environment and ourselves. We just get home, turn on the light and don't think about anything. Undoubtedly electricity is important. It helps us to develop. But we have become lazier and our ego not always wants to leave the comfort zone. So I sure sometimes we should be without electricity to remember our real values and to do great things.

How people lived without electricity in the past

Electricity is one of the greatest achievements of humanity. The term electricity was first appeared in 1600. Many experiments have been conducted since those times, while we will be able enabling us to use electricity. It has appeared in our houses little by little for the a long time (or "Over time, it has become available for more and more homes"). Now we can't imagine our life without electricity. It delivers the light and warmth in our houses, connects us with the environment (I'm not sure what you mean by this), and helps us in with some problems.

How did people lived without electricity in the past? In my opinion they lived so differently but in a very interesting way. They didn't pay any bills for electricity. They had candlelit dinners - it is so romantic! Comfort was attended their houses (I'm not sure what you mean here -- perhaps "Their homes were comfortable" or "Their homes were cozy"?). Soft light and the smell of candles reigned everywhere. Nothing can prevent a silence, peacefulness and tranquility of people, especially in the evening. They did absolutely different things: more read more books, wrote books, played in chess and other table games, played in the streets, more talked more with each other and sang songs. Also, people had many children because they had more time for each other. It seems to me they had more time in general because they had another interests and values. Some cases things of course took more time: hand washing, ironing, cooking - I believe they coped quickly with it by working together. Their food was healthier because they lived off for the land and rose raised their food all without pesticides and chemicals. Also, biorhythms were healthier; electromagnetic waves did not affect on them. People lived more eco-friendly. They were different people. I guess I was would have been able to live in that time. But we have already forgotten about it.

Of course both then and now the same dangers lie in wait for us. Then we used fire, now we use electricity. But in any case we must not show carelessness and irresponsibility in handling fire and electricity. The consequences can be unpredictable.

Today our life seems easy to us easy with mobile phones, laptops, washing machines, and vacuum cleaners. But we can't imagine see how we harm the environment and ourselves. We just get home, turn on the light and don't think about anything. Undoubtedly electricity is important. It helps us to develop. But we have become lazier and our ego not we don't always wants to leave the our comfort zone. So I am sure sometimes we should be without electricity to remember our real values and to do great things.
