Cut Off From The Rest Of The World

What did people do before they had the Internet? I experienced a sever from the rest of the world this week when my internet connection went down. Someone accidently cut through a wire somewhere and they didn't get it back up until yesterday afternoon. Technology has made us crazy in some ways though. We used to wait patiently all day for a stagecoach, now we go insane if the link that we click on doesn't come up immediately.
