Broken rules

I have been chatting to friends about breaking rules and also how thankful I am that rules are to be broken because we would not have had all the technology we have today if rules were not broken. Could you imagine being without electricity, water supply to our homes, the telephone which was the starting point of the cellphone. There is a whole world outside there that has been started on broken rules in our everyday lives. I have so many examples that this would be too small to list. Gee being without the telephone or even the cellphone and now the internet is unthinkable to me. Have had times when line is not available and that was awful. Also being without the basic electricity has also made me realize that there will be no!!!!!!!!!!! nothing that is also the radio here in the house will be useless. They (Eskom) has us exactly where they want us to be dependant on them so that they will always be in business. Well we could walk to where we want to be and also go and chat but what about coffee and tea to drink. Getting to think how the elders got along without all these things is just beyond me and just thinking of all the hard work that would have got to be done to just get coffee to drink, milk the cow by hand, that has never appealed to me, tried it once and nearly got kicked over by the cow. Make a fire, well that is an impossible task for me have never been good at getting the fire in our fireplace lit without having the whole place in smoke. So as you can see I sure will have an enormous amount of problems getting just a few small tasks done.
