"However, during this small adventure, it occurred to me, once again, that I am far more reliant on my connectivity than I realize. Even without being half-machine, like a cyborg, I’m am just as dependent on my power and connection to the digital world."

Even without being half-machine, like a cyborg, I’m am just as dependent on my power and connection to the digital world. (...) Perhaps it is an oxymoron or a misnomer to claim to be an “organic cyborg,” but even with no inorganic body parts, technology plays such a strong role in my life that I feel less complete, less active, and less engaged, when I am unplugged."

"I’m not blind to my purely analog options, and could easily have entertained myself with a book, or could have gone to the kitchen to make a pot of tea, or done any number of things that did not rely on an Internet connection. In daytime hours, I would be more than willing to work outside, take a stroll, or tinker in the garage. Even last night, I could have even just plopped myself back down on the sofa to watch television, but that was the passive alternative.
 
What was unique last night was that I happened to have been in an information gathering mode and felt that connections were vital. I was in the middle of a several conversation threads on Facebook. I was similarly engaged in some e-mail back-and-forths. I was just about to chat with my wife, who currently happens to be 3000+ miles away. And when I realized the problem rose to the level of “engage with customer support,” even that avenue was closed to me. When I felt I needed my access most, its loss was more acutely felt."
