A day with NO electricity..

Our assigned art project for this week is to spend a day with no electricity at all! No phones, no cars, no lights, no electricity!! Nothing! A day that seems just like old days, back when artists and people had no lights, only candles. No televisions or phones, and no connection; hard communication.
To be honest, i could not spend such day during this week, because of school and work. However, i am going to talk about my camping experience in King's Canyon national park that i experienced a month ago with my family and friends. I spent a weekend in the forest, with huge trees, and beautiful nature. It was different, but the fact that there was no electricity was very difficult to handle. In the morning, there would be no coffee maker machine, no television to watch, to shows or music or movies. Also, no phones! My cousin and i had a walk around, we got lost, and there was noway that we could reach anyone; we kept on walking for and searching. The most difficult part was the nights, those dark and scary nights. It was so funny how we were all gathered around the fire, to get light and warmth. I brought a book with me to that trip but there was noway for me to read it. Not just the darkness and coldness but also the feeling of fear that there might be bears or some wild animals out there. In my point of view, artists long time ago were genius! They were able to deliver their artistic abilities, draw, sculpt, read and write with no electricity. I can never image my life without my car, my phone, or my laptop. I think if we did not have all that moderate technology maybe we would still have motivated and good artists today. But since people are used to having an easy life, they just cannot go back to that old hard life...
