Possibilities Involving Outlets

So you have a house, and inside that house are a bunch of outlets (unless you're Amish) You also have a bunch of appliances and other electronics that you can plug into those outlets. The outlets come in different shapes, two and three prongs, as do the plugs. This is the first point, compatibility. Yeah you can put a two prong plug into a three prong outlet but that two prong plug is not offering enough to fill the spaces in the outlet’s three prong life. On the other hand, you can't stick the three pronger into a two pronger because it's just not capable of accepting all that the three prong plug has to offer. The next points are context and convenience. You have so many different rooms in this house, and these outlets are spread out everywhere in these rooms. Ideally, if you were going to make smoothies in a blender, you would do that in the kitchen and plug the blender in there. You still could decide you're going to bring the blender to your room and make smoothies there for whatever reason. It's a little strange because it is more convenient to have all the ingredients in the kitchen with you, but if you want to make smoothies in your room, make smoothies in your room. Now imagine you are charging your phone in the living room while watching tv or comfortably reading a book on the couch. You are also waiting for a very important phone call. You plugged your phone into an outlet close to the couch you are on because, well because it makes sense. Your phone would still charge if it was plugged into any other outlet in the house but again, that convenience factor. And if you are no longer comfortable in the living room and you are still waiting for that call, nothing is stopping you from unplugging and finding a new outlet because there is such a surplus in the house. Finally, moderation. While still on the topic of surplus, try to imagine plugging something into every single outlet in your house at the same time. No? Of course not. The bill would be insane this month if you did that. Electricity is definitely a privilege and a luxury but you should not abuse it. On the other hand it's your money so do what the fuck you want.
