Oh the Internet!

What would the world be without the internet? As I sit at my home computer with an internet connection that is currently non existent, this question springs to mind. Now normally I’d consider myself to be highly un-reliant on the Internet. Today however, I’m having second thoughts. I’ve been asked to write up an article on something that I attended over the weekend. My deadline is two days, three at most, to have a 700 word article and accompanying pictures. I have the photos; they just need to be uploaded to flicker. I have the majority of the article written; I just need to be able to access my email to double check sources and add some extra information. However, there is a slight hitch. No Internet means that neither of these tasks can be completed. What this means is that I’m going to be slightly more rushed than usual over the next couple of days trying to get everything done. The Internet has wormed its way into everyday life. Slowly but surely it has managed to make itself in-disposable, which today, I learnt is not a good thing. How this happened, I’m not sure. When it happened? I wouldn’t have a clue, but it has, and it’s a tad annoying!
