Thank God for High Speed Internet
Roberto Beiro
As i sit here, in front of my computer, I can't help thinking about where I'd be with out it, or my high speed internet connection for that matter. You see I use my computer every day for work as well as for recreation and communication.
It's safe to say that the majority of us have embraced the age of computers. Life without them at this point looks bleak. Then again, it wasn't long ago when we first discovered the web and dial-up service. Yikes, I shudder at the thought of those old days.
By now everyone has heard the noise. That irksome, screechy connection noise that occurs when you tap into the Internet via a phone line. I personally despise that darn sound. And it's not just because the noise itself is atrocious and hard on the ears. It's the negative memories that go along with it. Yeah, I had dial-up connection before high speed Internet service became available. And just like many others, I hated it.
Being slow wasn't all. You could get disconnected at anytime. This doesn't happen with cable high speed internet, thankfully. With cable you are always connected.
I would lose the connection every time someone in my house used the telephone, or when to many customers were using the service.
Apparently the dial-up Internet service I had at the time was far too popular in my area. I would generally be in the middle of something crucial when it would happen. Suddenly my computer said "Goodbye." Whatever I was doing was lost, and I got so sick of re-writing emails and such. Give me a break!
These days there's no more reason to fret. Millions of us enjoy wireless high speed Internet service with our little laptops in-hand. It's hard to imagine that it can get any better than this, but I'm sure it will. It always does.
Who knows where high speed Internet service is headed in the future. Just as long as we never have to hear that terrible dial-up noise again, I'm sure we'll be happy.
