Signs of Web dependence

We successfully completed our move on Saturday thanks to my parents and some new friends here in Boise. It’s great to be getting settled in our new house.

During the move, however, we were without Internet access for nearly three days. I honestly didn’t mind too much, but I was definitely aware of it. I also got to thinking about how much more of my life I keep online these days. Here’s a brief summary:

These are the main elements of my online life. There are many more small ones. As soon as we had access again, I started playing “catch up” and I somehow felt “whole again”. Very strange. Can anybody else relate to this?

    It’s like when Neo was unplugged from the Matrix. You don’t realize how much you rely upon being plugged in until the plug gets pulled.

    I suppose that in realizing this we have taken the red pill, eh?

    I know if I am away from the internet for too long – google news is something I notice being gone quite quickly. I’m so used to reading about what’s going on in the world on the internet, that I’m not sure if I could go back to TV =P
