PowerCut = Powerless

Waking up on a Sunday morning and reaching for the TV control to realise that it wasn’t working bought me some discomfort and after some further investigative work my worst nightmare had come true. There was a power cut.
What should I do?
Such is my life that it revolves around electricity before thinking of what there was that I could possible do I went to make a cup of tea but oh no! No electricity no cup of tea unless I resorted back to the boiling water in a saucepan tradition such was my desire for my Sunday morning tea I did. I then thought of the laptop but unsurprisingly it had been left not charging with low life. So as an A level student currently taking my exams you would have thought that this was the perfect opportunity to catch up on some revision whilst there were no distraction of Playstation, TV or the internet a.k.a facebook, the A level destroyer. Many students are wasting their ‘revision’ time on facebook uploading pictures, browsing other peoples profiles or updated their own and chatting to ‘online friends’ who when you meet in the real world a brief hello is all that is exchanged. Status, where people reveal there certain emotion or feelings, are now expresses their annoyance with facebook examples such as, ‘if I fail my A levels I’ll blame facebook’, ‘facebook ruined my life’ and ‘I’m at war!.. with facebook’. Facebook has become an addiction for students like me where when we sign on to a computer and go on the internet the first point of call is facebook, it has become an obsession with many people spending their time just being online, not actually doing anything and just being ‘online’ in case they miss something such as a new notification – a picture comment or a message.
Why not just delete it!
Such is the strength of the addiction that if a profile was deleted the person would feel the urge to recreate his/her profile within minutes after deleting it and therefore taking up a lot more valuable revision time.

So back to my original point and power cut problem. I should have been doing some revision but it was Sunday morning and after a heavy night I gently crept make in to bed in the hope that by the time I woke up the power would be up and running again and my revision excuses would be once again on offer. This powerless control I have in that there is nothing to do leads me to think what did people do before electricity, well I would imagine they would lead a structured life.
