I lost internet connection for bout 1 hour. You and your remark Winn, Bah. I could have gone “sot sot” you know.
Internet connection back, online, feeling content, phew…
Emails, IMs, chats, browsing, blogging… its all back now…
Well since I am at it I would like to elaborate a bit on this matter. I think that internet was introduced in our home land more than 10 years ago, early or middle of 1990s. I still remember this guy who was like conning lotsa people. It was PC fair and if I am not mistaken its PC Fair 1996 or 1997. The internet was blooming and the latest technology was the 56K modem (yes I am old and modem was the best deal then). He interpreted the dialup of the 56K modem as a Ferrari on the road in Malaysia with jam and speed limits. I know my stuff so I screwed him and my parents got me a Pentium MMX with a 56K modem. Hey it was top of the class at that time ok… thanks dad, thanks mum.
Then of coz every knows the evolution… from the 56K then came ISDN 128 and 256. After that is the broadband we all know now. Besides that we have wireless broadband, and also those GSM freak, its 3G as well, and a little earlier the WAP and GPRS.
Actually my point is can you, you, you and you (yes you with the chopstick and bowl in your hand) live without internet access. We are doing lotsa things online nowadays, which we could not even imagine in the past 10 years or even 5 years for that matter. The things we are using the internet for nowadays are of coz internet banking, checking of account balances, transfers of funds, ticket booking for movies, concerts, looking for information, reference material, paying all sorts of bills, paying for your summons, blogging and etc etc etc.
I think you already know that I can’t really live without internet as I wanted to kill someone just coz they even suggested the thought. I normally am connected to the web constantly like 24 hours. I am connected the minute I on my workstation until I go home and then connected at home. Basically the only time you don’t see me online would be the time I use to drive to and fro from work and also when I have to drag myself to dinner or outing or clubbing after work. I spend my time reading your blogs as well and of coz listening to online radio and downloading some stuff (you don’t need to know what dear).
So basically I will kill for my connection, so don’t touch my link or anything related that might cause you severe bashing if my connection is interrupted.
What bout you. How important has the internet become for you. Do you hog your keyboard and screen every other minute? Do you lose track of time when surfing? Are you infected with this plague called internetism? How long can you live without internet connection? A few minutes? A few hours? A few days? A few months? A few years?
