cant live in ancient times!

i was thinking about this when a blackout for 2 or 3 days (i think) ruined my activities of daily living.. that was due to a typhoon of which i forgot the name.. during that time, since the electricity was out, i cant use any gadgets because all of their batteries were dead.. i cant even use the computer or television.. i cant listen to music which i normally do most of the time especially when im bored.. only the candle served as our light when eating, writing, reading, etc.. i went to bed too early because i have nothing to do anymore.. as i lay, i started to think...

is this the life of our ancestors when technologies was not yet invented? how can they survived with this kind of living? its really hard.. they can only work in day.. because at night, its hard for them to see.. maybe that's the reason why the superstition "pag nagupit ka ng kuko sa gabi, mapuputol ang iyong daliri".. its really true, but during their time only beacuse maybe if you cut your nails, you might as well cut your fingers accidentally due to poor lightings.. in terms of communication, its hard to send a message to someone.. they have to go to see that someone to let their message be known.. and their means of transportation is through animal riding and walking...

as i reflect, i realized that im very fortunate and very very blessed because i was born at the time when everything is getting easier.. when technologies are their to help mankind.. in this way i dont have to rub two rocks to create fire.. i dont have to live in cage or somewhere else.. i dont have to walk miles just to go to different places.. its now easy for us to send instant message, or cook instant foods.. what a life... thank GOD!
