Candles- our way of achieving light in the dark before electricity was so accessible. 

In a more commercial sense... they are a bigggg winner with customers in the Home department of Next who are ‘sprucing up the living room’ or ‘adding some character to the hall way’ ( I work here part time). Hence, when we started placing packs of tea lights at the till point, customers were displeased to find that their reliable candle burning lights were no longer. Instead, they were faced with the possibility of buying something different *gasp* - LED TEA LIGHTS.

It was when a customer said something to me that the penny really dropped.

“When will they stop fixing things that don’t need fixed,.. selling a more expensive battery run tealight for the sake of making a bit more money.”

I thought to myself wow that just sums it up... I really get it now. When people talk about how they feel the book is dying it isn’t really just the book. It’s tealights, yellow pages, home telephones, newspapers, notebooks, calenders etc

Suddenly, it becomes clear how much we are removing the necessity for certain objects and everyday items- we are replacing them with lazier, ‘does the work itself’ digital alternatives and in doing so removing the ‘novelty’ of physical tasks. We are slowly loosing physical purpose,

and well,

It’s really sad.
