The internet is just a world passing notes around a classroom- We've all had the days when we log onto our e-mail or facebook to check our newsfeed only to find that our server is down. No amount of refreshing the page or clicking makes a difference and the former good relationship you had with your service provider deteriorates in a matter of seconds. The confusion and attempt to fix the issue is usually lost after about 10 minutes and then all hell breaks loose.
The internet does crazy things to you, especially if you can't access it. Gone are the days when people would be content with being confined to information in the news and libraries. It's been replaced with a demand to access an answer to a passing question with a few clicks. God forbid those clicks result in a blank- cannot find the page, anger may arise. Why do we get so frustrated when we can't access the internet? When it comes to television, unless you are in the middle of a sports game or a show it's not really an issue, you can't just watch it later on the internet. You would think it would be to easy for us to move on from not being able to check our facebook. Think again. Our reliance on the internet, leaves us powerless and were unable to cope. Frustration is a common ailment of the "server not found." We rely so heavily upon technology; for our livelihood, communication, social interaction and maintaining friendships for many of us we wouldn't know what to do without it. Sometimes it can be our best friend, waking up to likes and comments on your photos is a confidence booster. Who needs real life compliments anymore, especially when you can get 50 likes. All it takes is a picture uploaded, maybe one that has come artistic credibility or one that you seek to show off your latest outfit, either way your bound to get some attention. Attention isn't always good attention though. In fact what you post on the internet is almost a public comment dumping ground. There are those people who just have to voice their opinion about a comment or post you made. Remember that old age dinner rule of not bringing up religion, politics and money. I think the same applies to social media and the internet. Avoid it unless your willing the pay the consequences of negative commentary from people you know or don't know. Another discussion for another day. Megan
