19. the internet

when i got home from work today, i flipped open the ipad and switched on the tv to watch some hulu when i was greeted with the dreaded screen of "cannot connect to internet" great, i thought, and called nathan. after talking with him and doing some looking around, i realized it was no big deal (just some wires unplugged) and that as soon as he got home to fix it, we would be good to go. after we hung up and i settled back on the couch, i realized how thankful i am for the internet. isn't it funny how you don't realize how thankful you are for little things like that until they don't work? anyways, today, i am thankful for the technology that allows me to not only blog, check my email, and send a Facebook message, but also allows me to be connected to the world, to understand and immediately read the report on the us's credit rating, and look up a place to eat dinner. i am thankful for the internet.
