The internet

More hassle than it's worth?

Think if I could change one thing about the world it'd be that it had never existed. We wouldn't know any different, but we'd probably all be happier.

I didn't read your post, in tribute to your view, which I didn't read, of there being no internet. 🙂

These are the days when I am glad to have retired - otherwise I would be getting grief because our email was down and 'Why haven't you fixed it yet ?".

( I once got a call from a staff member asking if I could get an inaccessible website back online. I asked her if she was willing to pay my air fare to San Francisco, where the site was hosted. )

For me I’d say 1998-2004 kind of time was peak internet, when it will still exciting and you could still do a lot of things online like shopping, but it was still restricted enough that it wasn’t the all encompassing tool that it is now. Once social media became a thing and really took hold is when it started to become the cesspit it is now.

There's certainly an over reliance, and this highlights that we're horribly exposed to outage issues. 

Still, as the Aldi marketing machine put it, it's a snow day for adults.

I wonder if it’s the internet itself, or the readily available access through our mobiles that’s more of the issue? Discuss.

No one has the attention span to discuss. 🙂

Could just ask co-pilot for the answer so we can all just move on.

I tried googling it but my internet was down.

It’s a nightmare now many Teams meetings are transcribed. I have struggled what else to call someone who is a lazy useless cunt. Although TBF Copilot strips out a lot of gossipy crap in its summaries

It used to be useful,informative, educational and fun.

It's all sex these days.

Bit like David Walliams.

Except the useful,informative, educational and fun bit.
