Disheveled, disorganized, and drab - My week without internet

When upstairs neighbors move out and take the internet with them, you better start praying for a miracle. My dependency on the internet is alarming. Homework, projects, schedules, collaboration, communication and life as we know it is all based on the wonderfully delicious interweb. I was nearly destroyed not having the internet for a week. Almost a decade ago an article was posted on Newsweek titled "The World According to Google." Seemingly significant changes in society with the advent of google were addressed. I say seemingly because at that time, the author had absolutly no concept of how the world was changing, and where we actually would be 9 years later. Information is at our fingertips; knowledge is obtained by a click of a mouse. Nothing is hidden. How can something be so terrifying and so exhilerating at the same time? I am a sucking child unable to get enough, and unable to let go. I embrace it.
