Hospitals are not interested in the internet.  When you enter them, you leave the world of computers behind.  You don't see them in any of the wards.  Patients have to leave their computers at home.

Television?  Yes, you ask for a bed with a TV, then the TV lady comes around, and you sign on the dotted line.  (what year is this?  Hello!)  

But computers? No.

It makes you realize where you sit on the "computer reliance" scale.

If you are at a certain number on that scale, it really hits home -  about your need for the internet. The web sites, the blogs, the Globe and Mail, the New York Times, American Public Radio web sites, and your son's radio station where you can listen to him on the air whenever you want, no matter where you are. Touching base with your grandchildren on Facebook every day, reading their posts, looking at their pictures.  Watching your youngest grandchild learning how to walk.  The email.  All your family and friends - Your brother's heart problems, the important updates - I mean this is your life, right?  This is really what your life has become. If we can't get the internet, we're out . You can't 'go back' after having your personal world and the rest of the world at your fingertips with the click of a key.
