Just because we can't imagine it doesn't mean it's impossible. I can't imagine going to watch Watford FC but I hear some people do.
Honestly, whut?
Just because we use fire and electricity does not mean there are not other ways of making energy which we may not have even developed yet.
I don't know. They're pretty fundamental. I couldn't even begin to imagine an alternative to a force that can make motors turn, lights flash, etc AND be used to represent information
(either analogue or digital), process it, make logical decisions/calculations and ultimately, transmit it all thousands of miles away in seconds.
That could be just me, but when electricity was discovered it was a total revolution - it made possibilities you couldn't even imagine before.
