My Internet went down on the weekend.

It started Friday night when my kids wanted to watch a show and we couldn’t. We only have one TV in the house and it’s hooked up to a Roku for streaming on the weekends.

For something we consider so imperative to today’s world, it wasn’t really an issue. Yes, I still have data on my phone, but it wasn’t even an item of interest.

When there’s no power in the house, things can get difficult: food can go bad in the fridge, lack of A/C in the summer (if you even have it), finding your way around at night is a trickier, etc.

When your car breaks down (or your mode of transportation isn’t functioning), life gets a bit more challenging.

Internet connection goes on hiatus for a few days?

What are you really missing?

Convenience. That’s about it.
