I never realised how much we (or namely I) rely on the internet day-in day-out until I didn't it was down... now by this I don't mean that the internet was sad, I mean unavailable... my halls at uni were disconnected from the rest of the world for all of Thursday AND all of Saturday.

Now this may not seem like much to some of you, but consider this... say I were to ask you "How much is 1million yen is GBP?" then if your initial thought is anything other than to Google it you are either and international banker... or a liar... so either way... you're a liar.

Basically the internet is used for so much that we depend on it... take it for granted... and it is a full part of our every day lives... Some try and call it anti-social... but it is in fact a major part of communication... facebook, skype, internet phone, msn, blogs, news casts, youtube... yes even youtube is a great form of communication... I'm a student, I can't afford a TV licence... so now my main form of news is from youtube... the topical rants of sxephil are how I find out most of what's happening in the world... backtracking over what previous video's I found that I had missed alot of things when I wasn't using the internet... I didn't know of the death of actors that I like... and I still wouldn't know if it weren't for the internet... I would just consider a lapse in new releases to be lazy...

Now aside from news, and searching for information, there is friends... At Uni, random visitations aside, I only have the potential to see 3 of my friends from 6thform, which compared to some is 3 more than they get... but this means that If I want to keep in contact with any of my other friends I need to find another way... letters would of course be the original option... and as my favourite twins (hey if you are reading this) know I am epically slow at writing my replies... and I guess this shows the main advantage in the upgrades of communication technology... from letter to email... replying takes just as long, but the transfer of message is free, and happens in a near instant, no matter how far away, and then telephone, going to internet phone, making long distance calls free (yes I mean Skype) instead of a fortune a minute... making them far more accessible... it means I am able to talk to my friend in New Zealand with ease... assuming I am up early or late enough... which is quite frankly amazing... and we do take this for granted...

Now I know there are plenty of other amazing things in this world... but I'm sure next time one of them is removed from me (FOR TWO OUT OF THREE FUCKING DAYS!) that I will have a good old rant about them...

Well that's all for now, I'm hoping that the internet will stay up and I will be able to post some more stuff on the interwebs for y'all... I'm off to conform to the emotional blackmail of one of the aforementioned twins :) big love xxx
