Probably, but that’s what the corporations want, so that’s what we get. However, my faith in humanity is such that if the internet were to go away one day, we would adapt fairly quickly — and soon find other ways to make each other’s lives difficult.
Verizon was down in our area for a few hours Monday for reasons unknown to me. At the grocery store, I could hear a number of people bewailing that they couldn’t text, call or use social media because of the outage. When I got home I sat down with a good book.
I don’t consider it a dependency, I consider my devices being useful. So many things we can do that we couldn’t before. Besides, I can quit anytime I want to.
