Haven't had internet access at home for a long time and there's been no chance to sneak in a post while at work. There was a time when not having internet access would have disturbed me greatly, but I find it only mildly annoying these days. I particularly miss being able to check the weather. I suppose I could hook up the TV to the free cable and watch the weather channel, but then I'd have to endure commercials and a lot of talking head jabber just to find out half of what I could get in seconds on the internet.
These days it's cold and dark when I get home from work and after I've tended to the dog and we've both had dinner, all I want to do is curl up under the covers with a good book. Even a bad book will do and I'm headed off to bed with one tonight that will, no doubt, have me asleep in minutes. I suppose instead I should take advantage of this sudden, unexpected wireless signal, but sleep is a more appealing notion at the moment than slogging through three to four weeks of unread email.
Good to hear you've OK.
ReplyDeleteI love the week we have in Northumberland in November every year, because there is no internet access, even by dongle (the National Park is a mobile phone black hole with the providers choose not to fix as there is no money in it for them - sheep don't own phones!).
A couple of years ago I would have thought that no access to mobile phone or internet would make for a horrible vacation spot, but these days it sounds perfect. I think I have reached the saturation point on the "connectedness" of modern life.
