My Dependence on Technology

So…in the matter of three hours I lost my cell phone and my internet went down.  I felt lost!  I know this is ridiculous, but I was not sure what to do.  I was in the middle of working on a project for work when the internet went down and you would have thought my life line had been cut off.  I was freaking out!  At the same  moment I realized I could not find my cell phone….so I could call charter and try to get the internet fixed.  I ran around my house like a crazy mad woman, muttering about life and loss and things of that nature.  (I then realized we have a land line and I could call charter and once again bring myself back to a place of sanity.)

After way too much time  with my friends on tech support, I once again have internet.  (I have have also learned things about pinging and ip addresses and things of that sort.  I made three new charter friends because you cannot get the problem solved the first time around.)  Jim also called attention to my stupidity.  He suggested that using our land line to call my cell phone, may have assisted in the process of locating it within the duvet cover.  (It was actually in the cover all the way at the bottom.  How did it get there?  It must have something to do with physics…everything does.)

All this to say…I think I am pretty ridiculous.  Not having wireless internet and a cell phone can make me go a little crazy.  I may need to go on a technology detox!
