Well here we are at Saturday morning I had planned to do a Jo-Anne’s thoughts post yesterday but I couldn’t even get my blog page to load so it didn’t happen.
So my thoughts this morning are why oh why does the internet or more likely my internet connection have to be such a bitch of a thing some days.
I spend a lot of time online each day when I get up of a morning I spend a couple of hours checking emails and visiting blogs before moving onto doing other things on the computer like writing letters.
At times I wonder how we got by without the internet, I do remember when the internet was a new thing and we had a dial up connection. In fact when we first got the internet connected we found that out of all the companies that could hook us up we really only had one option due to the companies saying that the connection would drop out too much. Although things have changed we are still with the same company.
Now not only can we be online 24/7 if we want our house phone once called a landline runs through our internet and of course we now have WiFi. So not only are our laptops connection but our smart phones, ipads or tablets and our TV.
Mobile phones now days are mini computers and many can do a bloody lot on them, I however, am not one to read emails on my phone and I no longer have a tablet, use to have one but it died and hasn’t been replaced.
How often are you using the internet?
Do you have a good connection?
Do you miss it when it isn’t available?
Dearest Jo-Anne,
We’re very lucky to have a good, steady Internet connection.
Not so with the previous server… How much of my writings I have lost because of its many outings!
Just imagine that being the case when I was doing our self–publishing book… or when uploading the whole thing.
First thing in the morning I go and check since there are so many time zones. Family in Europe is 6 hours ahead of us. Foster daughter in Indonesia is 11 hours ahead of us (summer time that is, will be again 12) and on and on.
When I’m in too much pain and can’t sleep, I go to our veranda and work some on my MacBook. I did so at 2:30 AM by writing to my youngest brother. Their only daughter will depart tomorrow for 5 months study in Portugal—all in English. So that is quite a happening. Their final day together today…
But time flies and soon she will be back.
Not easy to deal with the excruciating pain day and night and if I get somewhat nauseating I can’t do much on line…
But indeed—what would we do without it?!
Almost everything I order on line, aside from the regular shopping items for fresh food etc.
Hugs,
Mariette
Yes we do so much online now days and I wonder at times how confusing it must be for some elderly people .can’t see my late grandmother understanding it
