How on earth did we live without the internet?
This weekend's broadband failure made me realise just how much of life is online these days.
I feel perhaps a little sad that our children may never have the experience of placing a large clunky encylopedia on the library table, and flipping it open to research an assignment. The scent of the paper and students who went before.
Nostalgia is something else.
7 calls in the wild:
I agree with you. I loved going to the library to do the research.. you had to read EVERYTHING to get to the info you wanted. Now you Google it..
I still read books though, but the rest is all done online
Wait, I just want to log on MSN to leave you a message....
Okay..
Yes... although I gotta love the internet.
Thanks for the comment. The snow looks nice right?
I suppose that is true. They'll never have to go to friend's homes - those who's parents could afford the encyclopedia - do the task and hope it's right. Now we have it all available at the click of a button
I never did projects in the library.
A miss spent youth perhaps.
Yip, when connectivity is down we are lost too.
they'll be lucky if they can even read, when computers will just read stuff to them instead.
as much as i love my internet, i totally agree with you
