24 hours without a phone

My phone went dead about 24 hours ago. When I got home, my charger's suddenly not working! At first, it was o.k. that i wouldn't have a phone for a day, but i was wrong.

When i got up, my only source of time was my phone, so without my phone, i couldn't tell what time it was. So i asked my roommate what time it was, he said it was still 6:30 am, my class is still at 10, so naturally, i went back to sleep. When i got up again, my roommate already left, so the only way that i could tell time was to turn my laptop on and check what time it was, but that was too tiring for me, so i went back to sleep.. again.

When my other roommate arrived from god-knows-where, he told me that it was already 10 am. So that only means that i could not attend my class. So, i went back to sleep, for the 2nd time.

When i got up, at about 11 am (i already turned my laptop on) no one was home and i was already very hungry. I could not leave the house because our door's lock is like a double lock (like because it's not really a double lock but something like it). I could not text my house mates because i didn't have a phone. So that's another phone related problem for me. I had to wait until 1pm for me to be able to eat a decent meal, because that was the time one of my house mates returned home.

It's just alarming to think that I'm that dependent to my phone. How dependent we all are to technology.

Just got me thinking, what if the world wouldn't have the wonders of technology? Or what if the world would not have electricity? That would be really scary.
