I imagine life without electricity even a brief power outage will make a mess to normal life. It is well known of what inconveniences will result when there are experienced blackouts for only a few hours. Well, waking up in the morning and only to find that the light switch cannot produce that instant light, will cause all electricity-dependent equipments functionless. I will first think about the hair driers, the fridges, the computers, the microwaves and so forth, and will be imagining life without them as they will not be working until the electricity is restored.

On a day without electricity, the entertainment, which is very crucial to life, will be a non-existence. The power to run those home theaters, televisions, radios and entertainment gadgets will not be available. The computers will not be powered, meaning that the computers games and other forms of entertainment derived from using the computers will be a story to be told.

Apart from entertainment, we heavily rely on computers for communication via the internet. The social life will significantly change if electricity will not be available even in a single day. From social networks such as Facebook to office and business communications, electricity powers the machines making communications a lot easier. People would turn to the old-school paper work or word of mouth communication via messengers.

The society should be prepared in making changes which will see that life goes on well even without electricity. Home appliances would be run by solar or wind power. Voltaic cells, dry cells or generators would also be an option. Biogas and wood fuel would be the main source of heat energy, especially for cooking.

In general, life without electricity would be challenging although the society can made important adjustments in order to make life proceed on well as normal. The computers should be able to be powered, music should be playing on radios, people should be able to chat on Facebook and the fridges should always be on to avoid food going bad. This will only happen if the society makes critical adjustments.
