Could you imagine life without air conditioning?

We often take many things for granted in life, including having access to air conditioners.

In some states the summers are extreme and in some states the summers are mild, but air conditioning is used by many people in the summer no matter how hot the weather is.

I will paint a picture for you of a typical day without air conditioning in the summer to see what it would be like. Pretend it is a 90 degree summer day and it is quite humid outside. You wake up sweating under the covers. You go to take a shower, but you turn the shower down to cold because it is too hot in your unairconditioned home to turn it to warm. When you blowdry your hair before work, you are sweating from the heat in general and the heat coming out of the blow drier. You put your work clothes on and you have to change because you sweat through your first outfit without your air conditioner on. You try to eat breakfast but you are overheated and you feel nauseous. You get in the car to go to work and you have to keep all of the windows down because there are no longer A/C vents in your car. You get to your work office where you have no windows. All of your coworkers are sweating and some have even made fans out of papers from their desks. You sweat while trying to do your work and you are thinking about the fact that you wish you had air conditioning instead of the task at hand. You take a sweaty drive back home and wish you had A/C again.
