Because of some contract changes I was without Internet for 7 hours today and I am still a bit shaken up. When did I become so addicted to the Net? I mean I spent most of my youth without Internet, till the age of 17 to be precise though I had a computer, but nowadays I am pretty much helpless without it. I wanted to look up the number for the Swisscom hotline, oh wait no internet. I wanted to check if my flight to Düsseldorf has been confirmed, same thing. I wanted to fax a copy of the contract to Swisscom, dang I use an internet to fax gateway.
Thank god I had my trusty Blackberry, otherwise I would have had to go to one of these cafes and type on a germ infected keyboard, eeeeeeew. Isn´t it amazing how much the net changed our lives? Back then you would go to your mailbox looking forward to snail mail from your friends, though I never replyied I rather called and today you simply don´t want to open your mailbox since the only people who send you mail in the old fashioned way want money from you.
I really should look into hacking my neigbours wifi, just in case.

If only the mailbox were filled with more letters from friends and less bills and junk mail. :-P I am more than a little embarrassed by my little email addiction....
