Living Without the Internet

Tweet

A full 24-hour period without the internet sure was tough on us. My grandson and I are usually on the internet a good portion of any given day. He is talking to his friends and playing his games. I am posting on here, researching, watching something and using my cell phone a lot or my laptop. Tuesday about noon when the maintenance men were here one of them kicked the cable outlet downstairs. Why I don't know. About that same time our internet went out. I don't like their attitude sometimes and I wonder if the kick broke something. We will never know. But our internet was out until the next day about the same time. It is weird to do without it for a any amount of time. Every once in a while, I would think I wanted to look something up on Google but couldn't. It was weird. No posts could be written that I had to do any research on. I couldn't take breaks and play one of my games on my phone. I couldn't watch the content creators I watch daily on YouTube. All the research and interesting finds on there for posts was not available. No movies. Couldn't get on my laptop to pay a couple of bills I like to get right on the laptop to do. Everything came to a screeching halt until the next day about noon. Everything is up and running again now. We just didn't realize how much we depend on the internet every day 24/7. It was a learning experience.
