I fling up my arms in glorious praise to the gods of the wires! For I now am reconnected with the rest of the civilised world! This may or may not be a good thing.
My lack of internet did make me think back to the '90s where things were just kicking off. Radio advertisements would scream "Get online now!" and to have home internet was a thing of wealth and the height of modern technological achievement in your own living space.
Now of course we take it for granted as we do mobile phones. There was once a day where I had to use a house phone with a cord forcing me to stay in one spot whilst I spoke to someone. Once I had to walk around a department store fifty times before I found my friends and/or family.
Communication is stronger than it ever was and this is not a bad thing. I have kept in touch with people it would be so easy to loose if it weren't for websites that constantly remind me they exist. It would be tragic to loose contact with the many splendid people I've met along the way.
So yes, internet! Hurrah!
