Tangled in the Internet

Its been a while since I have blogged. I have to admit when i first started doing think i never thought i would miss it, but i did. My main reason for not blogging was bad and expensive internet connection. Despite being irritated by how these factors had affected my access to the internet i realized how as a people we have become attached to the internet.
Its no breaking news the without the internet the world would collapse in more than one way. It also no breaking news how people are attached to the internet, but there is more to it than not having it completely. When you wake up in the morning check your emails, Facebook, Twitter and Whats App all seems well. however there is that moment you want to upload a picture on Instagram or Facebook and it takes forever, only to fail. That moment you wanna download a 10mb file and the browser tells you 45 minutes remaining, only for it to fail after you wait for 40 minutes, then you have to start again. The levels of frustration I felt when experiencing such things made me realise how comfortable we get with a service we can loose at any time. The only problem is that this has all happened in a casual way at a subconscious level so waking up and detaching ourselves from the internet is as good as waking up and detaching ourselves  from electricity. Surely not happening anytime soon.
