In the story “Hello, Darkness,” the author discusses how the invention of electricity has affected millions of people’s sleeping habits. The author says that the discovery of electricity basically ruined people’s sleeping schedules and lessened the amount of sleep someone would get per night. Now don’t get me wrong, the author is not downing electricity or trying to speak poorly of it, he is just stating the fact that with common electricity and all of the technology that we as a society have nowadays, it is easy for a person to get sidetracked and push sleep from the top of his/her priority list all to the middle or even the bottom.
