What if television hadn’t been
invented?
Now you have to stay home with
your family and find something to do to fill the time.
This is like when a rainstorm
hits that cabin on the beach and the power goes out.
There is no timeline for when
the power will come back on and you can focus on the blue tube instead of being
creative with your time.
Phone service will only last as
long as the battery then you are stuck looking at each other.
Cards, board games, puzzles
just pass the time until the electricity comes back on.
Now is the time to be
innovative.
Build a kite out of whatever
supplies you have. When it flies everyone will feel the accomplishment.
Cook whatever supplies you have
on a burner and everyone chip in the ingredients. It will be the best meal of
your life.
Without a camera take a picture
of a memorable scene and sketch it in the sand. The waves will wash it away but
you will always remember.
Make up a song or a poem or
create a story of the moment. Present a play where everyone is an actor or a
dancer or a musician.
When the power does come back,
you’ll forget about television and digital electronic devices for a while.
Then it will end in a memory.
