We are more dependent upon electricity than people in the past. What does this mean?

Answer 1

Go back to 1910. Most people did not have electricity in their homes. And those who did often could use it a few hour a day. The only thing powered by electricity in homes were the lights.

By 1960, almost every home had electricity that powered refrigerators, radios, TVs, lights, clocks, fans, and stoves. A few people had air conditioning. Some cities had electrically powered trains and street cars and interurban trains connected some small towns.

Now look around your home. What do you see that requires electricity? Which of those electrically powered things could you live without?
