Of course you could. People in the Amish religion have been doing it since they came to America in the 1800s. They also have no tvs radios, cars, lights except for oil lanterns. Your lifestyle would change abruptly but you could survive.

Frankly, no. a lot of people don't realize how much we we rely on it. without electricity the world as we know it would end. if starting tomorrow had no electricity we would have no food there would be nothing to pump the gas into to trucks that take the food to the store and there would be nothing to keep the food in the grocery stores cold. the traffic lights wouldn't work which would make early morning traffic impossible, that is if you even had gas to drive. There would be no power to turn on the water and the machines that clean the water wouldn't work. This is just a few things, there are so many more things our lives rely on that power requires.

Although many people would die as a result of society as we know it coming to a complete hault, at the same time, humans can adapt. We would find a way to survive. I bet cannibalism would be at the forefront of survival for the first coupla years. Now, that's just talking about the electricity we use. If there were no electricity, period, there would be no way to survive. Electricity and magnetism keep our atoms together. We would be reduced to trillions upon trillions of individual cells. It wouldn't be pretty.

yes. some parts of Asia and Africa for example, have no electricity. but they still live. but that does not mean they are jungle-people. it's just that they do not live with it.
Hope this helps, Peace.
ps. im Asian.

We could but deforestation would be even more of a problem and would soon run out of forest's. So basically what good would we gain?

We could, but most of us would go bonkers without it.
