We are experiencing a new world something much different to the 1970s. This culture we are living in makes some believe that they will receive whatever they want without working for it. Today, in the lecture we learnt that factories creating our phones and electronic devices experience poor working conditions and are underpaid. We all know that these people are creating our products for a low cost, however we never really stop to think about how they are? These selfless people are creating devices above their affordability for us, and in return they are treated with disrespect. Are we all really that selfish and addicted to our devices, that giving them up would kill us? What would happen if the world stopped using their phones for a day? If that happened it would be revolutionary, that an most of the world can feel so strongly about something and use their own personal connections with each other in an act to change the future. This would provide awareness, as there are some people who do not even realise they are mistreated.
In the past our parents and grandparents all survived these eras living without devices, so why can't we? Is Earth Hour really the only time we put our devices to rest? Although, no doubt many people wouldn't be able to help themselves, leaving their lights and televisions on. However, what if one day Earth Hour became real and all our networks were cut off? Well I can assume that many of us wouldn't know what to do with ourselves, we would have to almost start life again. Create a new beginning, and instead of us teaching our grandparents how to use these devices. How would we cope in learning how they lived their everyday life? Would we be able to understand what they are trying to teach us? Well I have decided to cut off as many networks as possible, to suggest what life in those days would be like. Please keep tuned as that post will be implemented soon.
