So my life has been very difficult in the past few weeks and I hate the reason why.

I HAVE NO INTERNET AT HOME.

One, it’s caused my phone bill to rise to ridiculous figures (which is painful enough as it is). But secondly, it is so hard to conduct anything without internet (including writing blog posts for this course). We as a society and especially in my generation have become so dependent on the internet it is hard to function in day to day life without it.

I can’t get my shifts from work. I can’t contact my mother who is overseas. I can’t book my tickets on the Spirit of Tasmania for my holidays. I can’t submit an essay for university. I can’t see that event I was invited to on Facebook. I can’t email that tutor about a missed tutorial. I can’t access that cake recipe that I was going to make for my friend’s birthday.

These things all seemed so simple before but now without internet I realise how much I actually used it and how dependent I am upon it.
