Are we so far gone down the electronic entertainment rabbit hole that people have forgotten what else to do?
A few times recently we’ve had power cuts and I’ve observed a number of people sitting there in front of the hi-fi/TV/PC/games console/whatever waiting for it to come back on. Just sitting there. Waiting. Waiting for the electronic entertainment to start again. Sometimes for an hour or 2.
My god. Am I the only person that knows about things called books and other non-power dependent activities?
The problem is that those other things are generally light dependent. So you need your powercuts to occur in daylight hours when most people are at work.
