A WORLD WITHOUT ELECTRICITY

CRITICAL THINKING FILE 006

WHAT IF ELECTRICITY DISAPPEARED TOMORROW?

No lights. No television. No charging your phone.

No refrigerators. No computers. No electrical appliances.

AND THIS TIME... THE POWER ISN'T COMING BACK ON!

Imagine waking up in a world where electricity has completely disappeared.

How would hospitals operate? How would people communicate? What would happen to food supplies, transport and everyday life?

Would communities discover new ways to survive?

Or would modern society face challenges beyond anything we could imagine?

ONE WORLD. NO ELECTRICITY. THOUSANDS OF QUESTIONS.

Welcome to A World Without™, a thought-provoking series designed to challenge assumptions, encourage curiosity and inspire learners to think beyond the obvious.

In File 006, learners investigate what might happen if electricity suddenly disappeared.

Through eight engaging thinking challenges, they explore the immediate consequences, longer-term changes and unexpected possibilities of a world without electrical power.

They'll consider who might benefit, who would face the greatest difficulties, how communities could adapt and whether electricity should ever return.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING IS TO IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT IT!
