it's bizarre how dependent I feel when technology fails.
Last week my internet connection failed and I was without internet for a night and then for the early part of the next day.
For some reason I felt strangely cut off, as if someone had transplanted me to an island without any connection to the rest of the world.
Then today when I arrived home I noticed my mobile phone had no signal. I don't normally worry about this kind of thing but today I felt the need to call (via the old wired phone) to check out the problem.
Apparently the network is down and teams of technicians are working on it.
It's not that long ago really since we had neither of these technologies. We also had no dependencies then too.
Maybe I need to take a break from using this stuff to recapture the essence of life, you know by walking out and talking to people on the street and all that.
But I probably won't.
