With hurricane Sandy starting to be felt in Bloomsburg, I feel natural disasters such as these can have a humbling experience. Pertaining to this class, many people could lose their social media outlets for days, depending on the severity of damage to the area. With no electricity and therefore limited social media exposure people feel stranded in their houses. Right now I am typing on a computer that could lose power any second, and I'm definitely wondering what I would do if the power went out now. Most of my coursework requires a computer!
Hopefully I keep power for most of the storm. Last year I went without power and water for nearly a week!
Well this year a lot of people share your fear of losing power. A friend sent me a picture of 20 cars waiting in line this morning at Lowe's to buy generators.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that electricity has become a vital assets for all that we do. Without it we can't access Bolt to see homework, Facebook to chat with friends, or charge the batteries to our computers or cell phones, possibly our only news line (assuming you have internet or a smart phone).
When my family was making preparations for Hurricane Sandy and the possible power outages my mom continually stressed the importance of charging my phone and laptop.
