what do you do then? Me, i just sleep - so i can save my energy and feel refreshed to do something when i wake up. That is what i do when there is also a blackout, it's unfortunate that when there is no technology or electricity, i find nothing to do..

When there is a blackout,I'd choose to sleep,too.LOL...But sometimes I prefer to keep sitting somewhere and soar in my mind when I have nothing to do.I think it's a rest in my life. I don't like the feeling of have nothing to do.For I have been used to the quick paced modern life.But stopping for a while isn't a bad thing,isn't it?I enjoy the process of thinking or resting when I don't want to do anything. Technology is good for our life,most of the time.However,there is still some time that I want to get out of the net of technology,like the Internet,cellphone nowadays.It seems like that there isn't a really quiet place in this planet anymore with modern technology.Sometimes,we even forget about nature,forget about the beautiful scenery and fresh air in the open field.I extremely want to find that back.I still remember the old days in which I have so much time to stay with nature and spend my time in the breeze and sunshine outside.Nowadays,the environment is being destroyed,and I spend more time in buildings.Though it seems more comfortable(no rains and sunshine,the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low),a life without nature isn't complete. BTW,I somewhat like the moment that the modern life stops for a while,so the blackout isn't so bad,isn't it?what do you think of this,friend?

Yes, stopping for a while is good. Since when there is electricity and technology, i never want to sleep because there are lots of things i can do. I am glad for black outs every now and then since they give me rest.

I sometimes stay up late using my computer when there is electricity and technology.I'd have to say this behavior has a bad influence on my health,though electricity and technology makes our life more convenient.This is why I miss the days without computer and other modern equipment,like cellphones.LOL... Anyway,electricity and technology is so important for modern life and is good for us most of the time,if we use them right,isn't it?

I will call a friend and make plans to meet up with them. If nothing goes well I will spend time with one of my kids.

That is a good plan, spending time with the people you care about when there is nothing to do- instead of sleeping. Thanks for the response Linda4ualways.

that's a great plan. Hoping I can do that too today.

Hello lady. I seem to always have something to do from the time I get up until I go to bed. Sometimes it is just resting. I never get board. I do work on my computer and do read some. I also am working on some special photo albums for my kids and grandkids. It has been many years since I have been with out electricity for more than an hour during the day and not at all after dark.Back in 1970 We were with out electricity for two weeks. Since then I have always kept a kerosene lamp at the ready for just such a situation so we aren't in total darkness. We don't have many blackout where I live.

Well, lucky you.. you're always busy.. We don't have that many blackouts either, but i still get sad if it happens.. it'd be nice if the black out was at night so we could go immediately to bed. We save energy to.

When there is no electricity- oh uh..me and my kids are having more fun (lols) We go out, drive somewhere we can have some bonding moments or visit a friend. Although, it's really sad when there is power failure or network connection problem.

What you do is actually pretty fun.. When there is no electricity at night, we just talk too and bond with my parents.. But a few minutes after that we just sleep.

Hi. I try to read when I have the time--with my book lamp. If it is still light outside, I usually sift through something; clothes, piles, the garage...there's always something to do.

Ah yes, if you are a hard working person, you can really find lots of things to do at the house. Sadly my parents usually do those stuff..and just give me some chores which are done in a few minutes.

I always turn in my laptop and find something to do or maybe play something on my cellphone or maybe watch tv. If there is no electricity, I listen to the radio using my cellphone again or play with it. Sometimes I talk with the family about everything and anything worth talking about. But, when there is electricity, I always go anything about the technology..

Yeah, electricity is really important in our daily life.. it is quite hard to imagine life without it.. But it also tears us away from our family..at times.

I just release it. I though I never have any moments when I have nothing to do, because even if it's sleep, it means that I still have something to do, right?

Well yeah, sleeping is still something to do.. you are just not so aware what happens while you are sleeping.

Well, if it's a black out , for sure i will be listening to music at my cellphone, with an earphone. AT least, my one hand can still have the fan.

Yes, good thing cellphones have music and sometimes videos too- to keep us entertained if there was a black out. Which is why it is good to always keep it fully charged.

when I got nothing to do I also sleep. Sometimes I sleep too much at the day and end not with a sleepless night. Sometimes it also makes me feel bad and worthless because I have nothing to do with my life. I can't spend all day in front of mylot or else I will end up with a carpal tunnel.

Yes, i am careful at what time i sleep too- i tend to sleep a noon or a few hours after so it would not affect my sleeping at night.. I also limit my using the computer since i know it is not healthy.

Haha. So we're just the same. Every time there is a blackout, I'll just go to bed and sleep. I think I'm useless in the absence of technology. When I woke up, the current is back and then I'll go back to computer again. hehe. I guess my life is in the computer and internet already.

when i have no plans, i find something to do. i watch a movie, read a book, make some exercices, paint my nails, or if i really don't want to be alone, i'll call a friend and hang with him.I don't like sleeping in the day even if i'm bored because i don't like the feeling of losing time when i have so little.I'll sleep only when i'm really, really tired.

Well if I have nothing to do, I will grab my sewing set and search for loose buttons or anything of minor problems on my family wardrobe. I love to sew and infact I'm planning to learn cruistic too. I can just sit or go to sleep. If I'm not in the mood for sewing then I'll just go and visiting my relative's house .

Always in front of the computer when there is nothing to do, watch some films or go watch television or read something. It's a long time now where I slept during day time when there is nothing to do ....

Yes, technology really helps with boredom.. And it also helps that some technology or devices don't even need electricity to work.. as long as they are fully charged, they function well.
