What I Would do if I Could Control Internet

Make it free and global!

Yes, that is why I wasn't able to post on Valentine's day and perhaps write a particularly stirring, cynical critique of the holiday; I'm currently in the country for Reading Week and without wifi. Let me tell you, you never realize how much you need wifi until you don't have it.

Hmm, I should get started on that history essay. Oh, but it's a critique of some articles that I can find... online.

Maybe I should make sure that my friend (who somehow survives without a cellphone) received the message that the book she left at my apartment is now in my locker in the music building. Oh, wait, that requires internet.

I need to get some opera listenings done for school. Let's go do that... oh wait, that's online too.

I should post a blogpost! On the... internet.

You get the picture. Internet has become important for all communication and almost all courses at school. I've become pathetically reliant on it for many things. At first I had hope that I just wasn't picking up the Wifi signal because it's currently Snowmageddon here (like, actually... walking to my grandparents' house, the snow is currently above my knees and I can't see ahead of me because of the blowing snow) but then I realized that no, the wifi is not working.

I really think that if our school system is going to be so reliant on internet, it needs to be a free and consistently available right worldwide (of course, having it for other things would be nice too, but saying the practical use first sounds better). Let's hope that happens one day.

Anyway, this is my post for yesterday!
