Without my Internet Connection at home, my world stop moving.
When my PC won’t pick up the internet connection inside our house, I went panicked. That was two weeks ago. I realized that I do not miss the Philippines so much because I can access anything on the Web. I can talk to my mother 24 hours/day if we wanted to. Technology is really amazing nowadays. I talk to my family usually at eight in the morning and eight in the evening and seeing those makes me feel that I am not away from home. When I talk to them, I move from one room to another.
Then, the unexpected event happen, I accidentally hit the off button of my Compaq Presario. It took me three days figuring why I cannot connect. Blame it to my ignorance on IT. I am not familiarized with this PC and so, I blame it all to myself. Three days, I was using our land line or cell phone to call the Philippines. But, it is different when we saw each other on cam, on the Net. Though it cost us only 10 cents per minute (T-Mobile), I still missed them terribly.
I realized that I am so dependent on the Internet. I really felt the depression as if my world is different from my family back home. It feels like I was living in another planet. When I figure out why my PC won’t connect with the help of my brother back home, I was so joyful. Seemed like a weird feeling to realize that I am so lost with out the Internet Connection. I do not know about your personal thoughts on this. As for me, I can’t live with out the Internet Connection in my place.

I can’t imagine myself too leaving without internet. It has been part of my life for years. Internet connects me with my family and friends.

I can relate to that feeling if ever I will experience that kind of issue in my computer. That’s how the internet has changed our lives.
Relying too much on these gizmos can lead us not to realize that there is still a life behind the computer. Well, I guess everybody feels the same connection.

I cant imagine a life without my PC too… I admit being able to connect with family and friends using the internet really did touch my life .
Kudos to the one of the greatest advancement of technology, it created a big difference with our modern society.

Just a bit of friendly advice, stick to one tense. You keep switching between past and present tense in your sentences:
“It Feels Like I Was in Mars”
should be
“It Felt Like I Was in Mars”
or
“It Feels Like I Am In Mars”
and so on

Thanks PaintGuru for the constructive criticism. I admit that I don’t check my grammar and as I publish entry, I seldom notice my errors until someone brought the matters. Anyhow, thanks.
