If there is suddenly no electricity what would the world be like?

Question

What will negative things would occurs? what will positive outcomes might be?

Answer 1

Life will go on, albeit differently

Answer 2

The world would regress to the state it was in before the "Industrial Revolution".
The negative side would be a total lack of communication, and neighbourhood anarchy's would spring up in all the major cities. We would become city states very quickly.
The positive aspects would be clean air, No modern machine could run without it. Another positive aspect would be the cultivation of interdependence on our fellow man. We would definitely be making vegetable gardens out of our yards and spare time would be spent more constructively than just watching television till bedtime.
There is a vast list of things that would apply to both sides of the pro's and con's of losing electricity on a Global scale.
Can't go into it all here but you can imagine.

Answer 3

I'm not clear on the meaning of the question. Do you mean, "if there suddenly were no electro-magnetic force in mature what would the world be like?" One word answer, incomprehensible. Surely no beings remotely like ourselves would exist in such a world -- our nervous system is itself a matter of electrical wiring.

Or do you mean, "if there were suddenly no human inventions making use of electicity, what would the world be like?"

I suppose it would still be a lot like it was before Benjamin Franklin did his famous experiments on taming the stuff.

Answer 4

One thing is for sure... parts of the world would be very noisy from all the generators running. :)
