Other than no way to call out if there's an emergency, I sometimes really wish the internet was gone. I spend way too much time on my computer and phone. Some is good for my business, but often it is just boredom.

Pre-internet and social media was definitely a better place to grow up as a child. The ease of access to information and communication is definitely a benefit for work as you point out, but for the kids it is more of ease of access to bullying and couch potato disease.

If I don't have internet I feel lost because I enjoy playing games on my smartphone and my laptop.  I'm retired so this is how I spend my day.

Absolutely and it doesn't hurt to have a way to produce extra income from it.

In order to place bets, first you should choose a good bookmaker for yourself. The https://takebet.com.gh/betting-tips/basketball website has a large number of reviews on various bookmakers, as well as extremely useful articles with tips on how to bet on a particular sport correctly.

Personal experience shows that 90% of such problems arise solely due to incorrect router or connection device. Other common causes are incorrect freee vpn or problems from the provider. Therefore, this whole range of problems is solved by the diagnosis and exclusion of extra variants.

Wow, I couldn't envision without wifi for two days. Hope that all is restored by now.

Wouldn't it be nice to go back to a pre-Internet world when there was no such thing as WiFi?

You might as well take surveys in a phone booth.

I don't like it when there is a disconnect from the internet. These are extremely difficult times because I don't have all my files on my computer, but most of them are stored in the fastupload repository. Luckily such disconnections don't happen often and you can always use mobile internet to quickly upload pdf or download an archive.

You might want to check around for alternative providers. I have not had my Wi-Fi fail me for more than a few minutes (and that has been rare) since I switched providers to Ziply Fiber a few years ago and my bandwidth speed is 5X faster for less money.
