We came home last night from work to find the internet was out, cable modem all aglow with warning lights. 10 years ago, just out of high school, I was still working off the World Book and had heard rumours of this “In-Ter-Net” thing. Now the cable goes out and it’s like someone’s thrown a bag over my head. How will I check movie listings? How will Nazma check her email 10 times a day? Etcetera, etcetera.
Well, now it’s back. Whoops of exultation all around, and back to scandalous amounts of time squandered online looking up random facts on Wikipedia.
