I don't think much work has been done to assess the psychological consequences these power cuts have on people. Do I call friends or family and lament this situation? But what happens when if the battery runs out while I'm calling around? I personally don't want to rearrange my life in line with the load-shedding schedule. It makes me feel like my freedoms are limited.
