San Diego Blackout

On the night of the San Diego blackout that spread all the way up to Arizona,many people of their communities were dumbfounded at the idea of no electricity to supply their everyday needs.No microwaves to heat their food,no computer to go no social networking sights,and no TV to keep themselves entertained until it was time to go to sleep.It was tragic to see where our generation of people have gone.Back then,everyone knew their neighbors,and people would actually go outside to interact with other humans.The dependence of electricity shown through this blackout was more of a joy than a burden.This moment helped neighbors come together for warmth and shelter.Barbecues would finally be pulled outside instead of ordering to-go.Families would play outside with flashlights as the adults would talk to one another.These few hours of what seemed at first like a "life-ending" situation,turned in to a realization for everyone.Technology is a great creation to make lives more easier,but a moment when the whole neighborhood could finally be brought together also makes like easier.
