When your Internet Doesn't Work!

Connection that is…

My Comment in response to a blog post at MIT Technology Review:

Yes it is (amazing that it all works) in those moments between complete high-speed bliss and the shattering reality of when it comes to a screeching halt.

Your internet connection and what systems you use to access is it, is as precarious as our water and power supplies, and just as fragile and prone to sudden death without much warning.

I for one have used many of the standard connections, like comcast cable, simply because if the cable goes out, something Major happened.

I don’t trust wireless providers to entrust my Metaverse connection to. Maybe when we have Global WiMax then I will consider the future of wireless computing a little closer to the dream of unfettered Metaversing.
