It was hard to live without the Internet eh. It had become a symbolism of our purpose of life in this Earth. I hope the service provider can become more reliable in its connection before someone committed suicide. Hahahahahhaa! Upvoted!

This internet thing has made us so addicted that without this, spending our time, ewww kinda hard 🙄

How easily we got sucked into technology??  We are on holiday for the week with friends and they still have teenagers which they forbade to bring modem or games.  I thought they will just sit and sulk, but are they having fun.  They are talking to us and entertaining themselves and experiencing and seeing things that have been missed.  It is sometimes good to take a break.

Congratulations @meesterboom!

@meesterboom, Yes, the unfortunate aspect of this time is we cannot think our life without the **Internet** because it carries our daily life one or other ways and every work aspect is depended upon it. And may be this phase of time tells us that we are more dominated by the Technology.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Well, I'm glad the internet in hell was working so you could get this important PSA out.

Hello @meesterboom, thank you for sharing this creative work! We just stopped by to say that you've been upvoted by the @creativecrypto magazine. [The Creative Crypto](https://thecreativecrypto.com/) is all about art on the blockchain and learning from creatives like you. Looking forward to crossing paths again soon. Steem on!

Come to Africa they will break you. That is a regular occurrence here.

As they say, "You don't know what you have until it's gone" And that is always the case with the internet. 

Think of poor little ole' immigrant me. When I am in the UK I have a UK mobile but it's pay as you go with the worse plan and almost no data. I carry my US mobile around with me as well as it is better with photos, but both only work for going online when I am somewhere with free wifi and I have as yet to get the bus wifi to work on either phone. 
When I start taking the train, I'm hoping their wifi is better, because otherwise it'll be like me in 1950 reading a book on the train as if such space age tech doesn't even exist.

I hope you are happily back to the  world of the online living!

I would wonder if a bomb had been dropped if that happened here- spooky, apocalyptic shit of nightmares!

Oh, my! The struggle is real!! 

You must be in hell if you had no internet, right? I mean you and half of the world population. I stick a Kindle in my purse in case the Metro fails me or keeps going the underground route where there is no internet. Yes! 

The most amazing thing is that you lived to tell. Congratulations. I am not sure how you did it!  :)

And how dare they go down without prior permission.

Really? I thought the train to hell would leave you with internet, but no access to anything except FB or _The Trending Page_

Nah, what you describe would actually be purgatory.

And where was that geezer getting off? The 3rd circle?

I giggled through this whole thing (easy for me I know, I wasn't on that train)..... I think I might have to read it again.

Did you make the newspaper hat after all?  You should have and taken a selfie !

On my train trip last month, I had the foresight to stock my phone with MP3 files and to carry dead-tree books (I am a librarian, after all) whipe my sister relied on Spotify, Netflix, and Youtube streqming for entertainment. Why had something to do in the mountains when night fell shortly after lunch to prevent gazing atbthe scenery, and no cell signal was ro be found? This  alleged Millennial who remembers portable cassettes and family road trips!

haha! wow what a traumatic experience you had to go through meesterboom! I hope this was a once in a lifetime occurrence. I'm kinda surprised that they still sell newspapers. "big inky pile of cheap paper." lol.

hahahaha!!! that was some real sh!t! Glad you made it through to the other side hehe, not so sure I would have lol

Haha this does put a smile in my face. A big smile, indeed! It's funny to me how integral the internet is for us these days. Gather 'round children, for I have a story to tell. Why I remember a time when... hmmm no, wait. The history websites I've perused suggested there was a time when there was no internet. No... internet... That's odd. I can't seem to recall there being a time when there was no internet. That's absurd. That's completely unheard of! Children.. I feel like I'm having an existential breakdown. Quick, google the cure!

They are handing out compensation next month.  You ignoring me old man tut tut 🙄

Get the kindle app for your phone, and then you will always have a backup activity without carrying 2 devices, if the unthinkable happens again.
