Cells ran out of juice. No Internet. No phone. No nuthin'.
On the brighter side: No phones rang. No unwanted texts. No Facebook "updates". No endless surfing. Work was compressed into 6 hours of keyboard work before the laptop gave it up.

All of this. ALL of it didn't and couldn't happen 2 decades ago. Nothing that we use, our electronic utensils of life, were around in any great number if at all. 20 years.

Don't look back.
