Hello, my name is Lin and I am addicted
to the internet.
You can never go backwards. So I have
heard, but I am here to prove that you can and it is not pretty.
I boot up my computer, sign in and then
leave the room to make coffee. That is how long it takes for web
pages to load on this shared connection we have at the condo we are
living in for THREE MONTHS!
Having a blog, uploading photos,
surfing the net or checking up on things on Facebook is a lesson in
patience. I thought something was wrong with my laptop! I tried to
upload a video to our YouTube channel....for two days! It kept
crashing.
When I was a child the telephone “Party
Line” was just a daily thing that you put up with. If you wanted
to make a phone call you picked up the large heavy phone receiver and
dialed the number you wanted. But more than likely as soon as you
picked up the phone you would hear two or more of your neighbors
having a “Cluck Fest” and they were not about to hang up from
gossiping to let you have your turn. It was a shared line and
sometimes you waited hours or all day for the busy bodies to get off
the phone. That was 50 years ago!
I need a 12 step program and counseling
to be able to deal with the emotions I am feeling! Frustration,
Anger, Denial, Irritation, and sometimes on the verge of tears
because I can't function without my connection!
Wow, what have I become?
