The Internet is Down

Tonight my main Internet connection is down. I’m using a covert connecting option, aka my LG Ally phone. So I’m not really able to blog what I had planned to. Instead I offer you this.

Warning this video is done by a non-Christian with non Christian values. If easily offended by some of the worst references of pop-culture skip the video and read on.

The video in a sarcastic masterpiece of poking fun of Internet networked connectivity obsession. I struggle with this sometimes. The gray man makes a excellent point. Real life exists outside of the virtual world of the Internet. The virtual world is often vain, crude, and filled with misinformation. It is ungaurded just another way to waste massive amounts of our time. True it has its good points but we can live without even those for a while. By definition if something is virtual that means it is not real. Humanity existed and thrived without inter-connectivity obsession and it did so for millennium. It will probably eventually do so again. Next time my Internet is down, I’m going to try and not worry about it.

What do you do when your Internet is down?

    When my internet is down I try to fix it, until I am sure the problem is outside of my house, then I call the phone company and encourage them to fix it ASAO, then I drive to a coffee shop to get online. Tethering to my phone is too slow and I can only do so much from my phone directly.

    Of course, I probably should just grab a book when my internet goes down.
