The age of the internet is well and truly here. They are an integral part of all our lives. And it hasn't taken long for it to happen. It was only a few years back that we still searched the web using a dial up service. God! I hated dial up.

Do you remember that terrible noise? You know, that screech that you computer would make when it was attempting to connect to the internet via a phone line. It was no picnic when you finally got there either. talk about slow! Thankfully high speed intenet has put those days behind us.

What was really frustrating is that your connection would get disconnected all of a sudden. Thank god that doesn't happen with my cable high speed internet. I don't have to worry about whether my emails were going to get through or whether I am going to get booted out.

Sometimes it was because a fellow family member picked up the telephone and I lost connection. However, most of the time it was just due to customer overload.

I was using very popular dial up internet service, it would seem. I frequently get thrown out in the middle of and internet chat, or writhing and important email. It drove me nuts!

I'm am so glad those days are over. With wireless high speed internet hotspots giving us the freedom to get connected anywhere, hard to imagine what more is to come.

I don't what the future has in store for us, when it comes to high speed internet, but as long as I don't have to put up with the hassles of dial up then I am one happy bunny!
