How long do you think you could last without any technological devices? 

Scenario: There is a worldwide power outage and all technology is offline until further notice.. How long it will last? Nobody knows. How do you think you could last? How would go about your daily life dealing with this issue? Discuss.

Hell of a long time tbh. I'd miss the internet but shit happens

I may even end up finishing more homework and not sleeping until stupidly late doing it

I'd be able to make it a decently long time without it. For the most part, it would give be time to figure some things out in my life or even go back to drawing. Who knows. Considering we live in a society ruled by technology, so many people would be lost. Glad to say I wouldn't be one of them.

My issue is I use technology for employment, it's literally how I earn a paycheque and put food on the table

Speaking of which, does that mean my fridge or my elevator to my 12th floor apartment are boned?

goddamn

I'd do a lot of napping and reading.

Atleast until the riots start

Spend my time re-reading all those mechanical engineering books and make my own electricity.

I love to tinker anyway.

I don't think I'd be able to live that long. xD

Literally almost everything I go is online and on my devices so it would be really hard for me to do anything without them.

As a Victim of Hurricane Maria like @Snowy I'd say 5 months (Time we were without any kind of power.)

I'm a camper. I try and go weekends and sometimes weeks at a time with very little tech. The biggest problem for me would be isolation so hopefully I have my dog and cats around, but generally i could probably go two months

... of course my job is tech based so welp

If you keep me busy in travel. I will get to sleep in between the travel and forget about tech. That's how I make use of the down time due to electricity and other days without tech.
