I knew it would happen at some point, and I'm still not happy about it. The attempt at working, family, and school is not always easy to juggle. Over the past week, I had to go to Ft. Lauderdale to work and we had no wireless connection in the convention center. So, from 7:30am to almost 10pm on almost everyday, I couldn't do work for my classes. It's frustrating, and I saw a classmate mention something about the importance of the internet these days... I totally agree. When I can't log in and check certain things that I normally check on a daily basis, I feel lost.
I just landed and I'm back in Indiana now, so my last weeks work will be added in the next day or so. I missed being home, I missed having immediate access, and I can't believe that we got by without it for so long. Technology is the way of the world... it would feel like the stone age if it ever completely crashed! Where would I bank? Where would I find information? Would I have to go to a music store to buy CDs? How would I communicate with my friends that live long distances away? Would I have to spend thousands of dollars in stamps and envelopes?

Bill,
ReplyDeleteI experienced the same "disconnect" the first week of class. My solution was to use my cell phone as a modem for my laptop. It wasn't the fastest connection but it got me through. It is a bit scary how dependant upon (or how addicted to) technology I have become. I'll be having withdrawal when this class ends.
