Oil Lamp
Taking Your Room Into The Past
Do you have a den or study? Perhaps you utilize a corner of your bedroom. It may not be perfect, but sometimes it helps to think about other situations. It can help you put things in perspective. Go into your room and look at your computer workstation desk. Does it appear outdated? Maybe it could use some things. There is a way that you can make it look modern and up to date. It will not involve physical labor or money.
Walk into your room and close your eyes. Let the years fade away. Travel back in time 100 years. It may take a few moments. Finally, open your eyes and examine the room. Keep in mind that it is one hundred years earlier.
Look at your room of 100 years ago. You may barely recognize it. There might be a pencil and pad of paper on your desk. If you are lucky or well off, you may have a typewriter. You will notice something else. Clocks are very different. You have to wind things like men’s watches, in order for them to work. It is fine to have a calendar to look at. Do not look for anything that uses electricity. You probably cannot afford those luxury items.
Maybe you like to write. It is going to be considerably more work. When you make a mistake, your only recourse is to mark it out or start over. Forget about the convenience of word processors. Your contact with the world will be somewhat limited. Do you live in a large urban setting? You can get your news from newspapers or your neighbors. There is no six o’clock news to enjoy. You cannot even turn on a radio. If you can afford it, you may own a phonograph.
You can smoke if you wish. It is not considered a health hazard these days. If you do, be careful. Do not spill your ashtray on your paper pad. The cordless handheld vacuum has not been invented yet. You will have to clean up the old fashion way. Get a brush and a trash container.
When summer arrives, it will not be fun. It will be many years before air conditioning and electric fans become popular. Everyone wears white clothes to stay cool. It is not about fashion. You may do your best work in the early morning. Temperatures will be cooler, at that time. If you work at night, the light may not be good. You can use oil lamps or candles.
Conclusion
Is your room or workstation outdated? It may be a little depressing to look at. However, think about people one hundred years ago. It may not be so depressing. You may actually feel very fortunate.
