Since the beginning of this year, I have been living nearly unplugged. After an acquiescent relocation, one of the first things I was told was, “We don't have constant electricity here, we have light 1-2 times per week if we are lucky. And it nearly lasts for an hour.” I started to imagine my life with my phone constantly dead. Since my phone is the only lifeline to the digital world, the thought of going without it most of the time felt unsettling. I was used to having almost constant electricity where I used to live and even my hostel while was in uni, so I never bothered to get a power bank.
