last time east coast usa was in a blackout for a few days, think autumn 2003-04, people in new york started going out on the streets, talk with each other and their neighbours. it was great and weird at the same time as if though people became human again instead of always being busy, rushing, hooked on mobile screens zombies. for modern times i think it would be great to have such days off monthly or annually.
without all electric at night you could actually hear silence - such an awesome relief.
