Well, wouldn't you know it? I make a vow to not be gone so long and bam, our Internet goes o n the fritz. And I totally had a Sunday Snapshot too! Oh well, I guess it'll have to wait until this coming Sunday. Bummer.
I mean I could have blogged from my iPhone is 4G but that's an ordeal in itself and leads to numerous grammatical and spelling errors. Both of which drive me bananas when I find them elsewhere, so I truly loath making them myself. But here I am.
Having the Internet down got me thinking about how much we rely on it, that and technology in general. I mean, I wasn't totally disconnected (Yikes! I cringe just thinking about it) as I could still use 4G for everything but still. We've taken a break from cable again, a topic for another post, so no Internet connection meant no way to access Netflix of Hulu. Gasp! Only network TV?!
Now you know how addicted I am to technology and media in general, too much I know. So maybe I was affected more than the average person? Maybe not? It made me wonder what life will be like for the kids in the future, or in a few years for that matter? How will minor interruptions in connections affect them?
Speaking of technology, in my already random and rambling post, today the new iPhone 5 was announced at Apple's big event. Woo hoo! Now I'm not getting one, I don't need one as my 4S is only a year old. But it is still so much fun to see all of the new features and offerings Apple has for us all. I can dream right? :)
Well, I think that about wraps up my random, stream-of-consciousness post. Maybe I'm sleep-deprived or suffering the effects of limited connectivity an technology? Maybe I'm just in a random mood? Hmmmm?
All is well, connected again, in Drosche Land.
We too went cable-free after the move. In full disclosure, I cancelled Comcast after 3 days. It was expensive and already not working. We also refuse to do satellite. It is very enlightening to see how little we miss not having it - even though we have watched a bit of Hulu. Honestly, I feel more productive at home.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit that I am quite the TV addict so no cable affects me most of all. But with Hulu and Netflix it isn't so bad. Plus you are right about the productivity thing! :)
