internet withdrawal - OT

We didn't have Internet ( because of storms) yesterday and most of today. We got it back tonight. My family including myself went through Internet withdrawals. We have many electronic gizmos we couldn't use plus no netflix or vudu.

It is kind of sad our dependence on the Internet - of course to my teenage son it was close to the end of the world. I am grateful to have it back - the distraction from the pain and coming here on this site. I am mostly a shut in. I gotta have my Internet - LOL. I am pathetic !!!!!!!!!!

Its sad how we depend on electronics to rule our world, good thing for books, board games to play with each other and a good old deck of cards or just converstion.

Basic family get togethers that bring us closer together, what all families need to do.

I'm the same way! I go nuts when power is down or internet is down! I feel so fortunate to live in a time where we have these conveniences. I can't imagine being shut-in (basically) and not having tv or internet. They are not "my life" but they sure do help to connect with others, entertain, and pass the time. Hugs!

Thankfully my Kindle app is not internet dependent. When our power was out, I thrashed around mentally for about 30 minutes because I couldn't get to the Internet, but then I just opened up my Kindle app and read a book.

I'm not "dependent" but it is the way I keep in touch with everyone so I definitely miss it when it's not available. I won't choose a hotel when I'm traveling unless it has wireless in the rooms.
