Art Project No Electricity

I must say this was not an easy task to do. Given that in todays society we nearly use it for everything. So on October 1st i attempted to go without electricity. I got out of work at 5pm and didnt have that much time to prepare. Regardless the sun was going down and the clock was ticking. Phone was turned off, my house was empty with noone here, so i unplugged my phone and started the difficult task. i didnt get all but 3 hours into it til my mom go home and asked why i was doing this. she understood and so i continued to be without water. i decided to light a few candles since it was getting really dark and i kept stumping my toes. i tried reading and doing watever to keep myself entertained but i just couldnt keep focus since the boredom was killing me. i ended up falling asleep. Woke up and realized it was 8am sunday morning, and i had to be at work. What i have learned is that we dont take our electricity for granted, back in the day before all this new technology, people didnt really do much. if i were alive back then i would have been bored out of my mind. Nowadays we rely so much on it that we cant complete day to day tasks without it. Seeing as how some artists only had the daytime to really work on their painting or whathavethem, i learned i should appreciate what they could accomplish over a course of time that only involved daytime. Even though i use some sort of electricity day to day, i realize that without it our world wouldnt be where it is today. I must admit that i cannot go very long without some sort of technology, but its only growing around the world and an exponential level.
