Introduction
Over the years, civilization and modernization have improved human's skills and talents to better themselves. We now have better ways known as technology with several inventions to solve our problems and improve our lives. More research and studies keep improving our knowledge and approach to enhance our known inventions and ushered in new ones for better performance and successful lifestyle.
Without these technologies and innovation, humans lives like other lower animals. We depend on crude tools and approaches to handle our problems and enhance our lives. The suffering is much with low output. Our efforts are mainly menial which makes it tiresome and hectic. Our lives is at stake with many challenges and problems which are tremendous.
Unfortunate crisis can happen which can change the world course abruptly. Then, Dark stage have set in where all the support for humanity and necessities like internet, electricity and technology ceased to exist or work properly. Just like what have been acted in many Hollywood movies where huge black-out over the whole world, In such occasions, lives becomes unbearable and hard to enjoy. Then, How can one cope? What will humans do to survive? Let's me share my survival tactics with you.
Without life necessities, humanity will suffer because we have adapted and depend on these necessities for survival. Imagine how life will be without electricity, telephone, internet connection etc. People will not communication with others with ease. Traveling to far distance will be a challenge and stories like what our father's used to tell us on how they trekked from our villages to the towns will be repeated. Works and output will be affected. Check out the industrial machine and robots which are helpful for the production of products. Now, they cease to exist, work will be tiresome and hectic. People will live in fear and sickness will be higher too. Life will be at stake.
Personally, I will be affected seriously but keep living to survive. I will readjust automatically then switched back to analogue from digital kind of lifestyle. I will shunned electric stoves and start making my fires from cracks of stone with wooden trees to support it. Even as it's life threatening, without other options I will be careful and produce my foods and warmth from it during cool days. As medical fields will be affected, I will switched to our ancient ways of managing our health. Herbs and roots have potential to treat and manage our health conditions. I will be treating my hair with honey and other natural oil to keep it healthy before carefully cutting them with sharp objects being improvised. My adaptation will be swiftly to be able to survive.
Human society will like in stone age, not civilized again. We will depend on crude tools like arrows and stones for everything needed to survival. We will need each other more and discuss in our group face to face in our village squares. Then having our people scattered in the faces of the earth but depends on technology like video conferencing media like zoom for meeting with each other. We will moved in groups and achieve tasks communally. In my native language, "igwebuike" will be our core value which means that our strengths and ingenuity for survival depend on our coming together as group of people with common goal of survival.
Agriculture will be satisfying work for everyone. Our hands will be tied to the ground for our food, raw materials and drugs. Without modern tools, we will till the ground, fertilized them with animal's dings and carcasses and plant crops for foods. Although tiresome, we will be moving from unfavorable lands to better places with clean water and fertile lands for survival. Meats from domestic animals and hunted games will be our good source of protein for building up our immune system and keep living rightly.
Agriculture have the potential to employ everyone and keep us alive despite the challenges. We will get everything we need but with our strength. Adaptation as one characteristic of living things will be implemented as we will improvised several approaches and tools to ensure our success and prosperity.
Rivers and streams of freshwaters will be our strength because it will be providing water for domestic uses like drinking, cooking, bathing and cleaning our clothes. Right now, our lifestyle in our villages still like that. My people still depend our local streams like "eyioha" for their survival and services. Eyioha is a popular one in my village and very symbolic as it's being celebrated for the survival of my people till now. The term "eyioha" means stream of waters for all signified that it's for everyone and every services. Fishing and domestic services are comfortably handled on streams like that. It's waters keep us surviving and cool even in hot seasons. Our lives will definitely depend on such necessities for survival.
Finally
Our lives is better now with modern facilities and technology. We are achieving greatness and prosperity even as our skills and talents are improved by these scientific and technical knowledge. Any changes or challenged situations that will affect our technology or modern facilities will affect us but we will survive with many adaptive initiatives.
