result. If there were no clocks, schedules would be off for everyone.

calendars wouldn't be possible; thus we wouldn't know what year it is.
Electricity
o Electricity wasn't really invented; it's been around from the beginning of time. We
just didn't know how to harness it for use. When electric fish shock victims,
people initially began to notice anything electric.
o It is difficult to imagine the world without electricity now. In our daily lives,
power is a necessity for practically everything. Our initial thought is of the lights
in our homes and cities. But since electricity has such a broad application, it
probably affects every aspect of human life in some way. Yet for 99,99% of our
existence on this planet, we humans did not apply it or use it widely.
o Advantage – Electricity is safe, reliable and more efficient which makes living
easier. It helped a lot of innovation, and a fuel for every modern technologies and
machines that we use in our daily lives.

and nitrogen oxides that is harmful for our environment and lethal to all
organisms.
Phone

school, especially in driving that may lead to accident.
Cars
o Our country has been able to advance and grow thanks to cars. The world would
be very different if there were no cars on the road. Transportation, the economy,
health, cultural development, and the environment would all suffer if vehicles
were no longer available. Without cars, transportation would be significantly
impacted. Particularly in America, where cars are the most popular form of
mobility. American citizens' daily lives would be slowed down. Lack of cars
would be detrimental to the economy. Transporting goods would be more difficult
for manufacturers. There would need to be another method of transporting
commodities from one city to another. Additionally, the absence of cars would
have an impact on cultural development. Cities wouldn't be as compact, and there
would be more space for people to walk.

injured or died by severe accidents.

standard of living, the modern world has become unduly dependent on computer

educating their human resources in other philosophies.
