My Brain Doesn’t Function Without the Internet

December 04, 2008

This morning my apartment’s Comcast Internet connection was down. For whatever vile reason, I was also unable to access the web via my iPhone’s 3G network.

My very first thought? “Dude, I should tweet this.”

I then proceeded to try to access Twitter, first from my computer, then next from my iPhone.

A few moments later my brain kicked in just a bit “Oh… right.”

Where do you post complaints, snarky comments, or short hilarious thoughts when you’ve got no web access? The fridge?

Sometimes I think that any thoroughly web-integrated person is like a wireless cyborg, incapable of functioning properly without web access. If you put me in Amish country, I’d probably lose the ability to speak coherently.

    I. Know. I feel your pain. What did we do before the internet? My memory is vague, I think I’ve mostly blocked it out.

    I think I’ve actually been re-writing my memory of my youth to include the Internet when it wasn’t there. When I concentrate really hard I can remember my high school days where I’d spend a gleeful hour connected to a BBS playing Trade Wars or secretively downloading pictures of girls in bikinis. So racy!
