As soon as I got home, I rushed to the computer: I wanted to finish what little homework I had. I quickly opened up my web browser, and was astonished to find the following message:

Mozzilla Firefox cannot open this web page:
Please try the following: ...

Thinking that it was a problem on their end, I typed in the url for my blog (www.cyborgg.blogspot.com), I was astonished to find the same message. I closed the browser, and opened a new one. The same thing happened. Then I noticed the Limited or No Connectivity picture on the task bar.

I crawled behind the computer to try to find the problem, not seeing anything obvious, and not knowing what each cable from the jungle of cables beneath the desk did, I regretfully decided to wait it out, hoping my dad would know what to do.

Here I am, come some two-and-a-half hours later, after finally getting the internet up and running, trying to finish all the work I could have done hours ago were it not for the curse that is technology.

  1. The dreaded technology!
    I don't understand your title. Is that tech lingo?

  2. Yeah, it refers to how much information you send the internet, and how much you receive.
