No technology for 24 hours?

Some have asked the question what would happen to the world if there was no technology for 24 hours? Technology is the process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs. Most people think of technology in terms of computers, software, cell phones, apps, aircraft, viagra, microwave ovens etc. Technology is not just simple tangible items. Technology also includes knowledge engineering know how, technical skills and a degree of expertise. Technology is the study of the natural world.

So with that said, what would happen if we had 24 hours of no technology? Nothing would happen, 24 hours with no technology is an illogical question. Theoretically it cannot happen unless the goal is to remove humans from the earth. Then you don’t need me to tell you how that would be History channel has already done that just watch Welcome to Earth Population 0.

Yes I am well aware some people out there would say oh no you are wrong, it would be chaos!! How would it be chaos? Think about that question “What would happen if we had 24 hours of no technology”? Right where you are right now think about the items around you, think of how they where made
a pen, paper, technology poof gone,
phone, electricity, refrigerator, technology poof gone.
the wood, nails, sheet rock & paint in your home, technology poof all gone.
Grocery & Clothing stores gone, canned food gone, blue jeans gone and so forth and so on.

If stripped of all our technology we will be left standing in the middle of nature buck naked not knowing what to do.

Not every question put to women & men requires a dooms day scenario, so please try to think outside your media fear induced propaganda box.

  1. Standing outside naked sounds great. But only if it's in the 70's. Much colder than that and it might be a bit nipply!
