For those of us who saw the Internet coming and rejoiced in what it would mean, we tend not to take it for granted. On BoingBoing, I saw a link to a YouTube video from PBS Frontline Digital Nation with Patrick Stewart talking about how it makes his life easier. After watching this video, I followed it with one featuring Jamie Lee Curtis. She talked about how the electricity went off one time for more than a day while her family was out in the wintry countryside and how that day without "juice" affected all their interactions. Perhaps it's my age that makes me relate.
