Dependence on technology...

So, it's looking like a reasonably normal morning. It had rained hard during the night, the hound wanted to go out but barely (does not like rain), and I'd sat down in front of my Chromebook to look at my email, Facebook and hometown news with my first cup of coffee.  I rec'd an Error to Load message, so started going thru the steps to see what was going on.  My notebook, i-pad and i-phone all said I was connected with a strong signal but....no joy or connectivity :(.  I talked to Google Home and she gave me a prerecorded message on internet problems...but by this time I'm so stressed out (have NOT had that cup of coffee yet!) I kind of tuned her out.  What is odd is that the smart TV was working and it's Roku too....
Long story short, I went upstairs and re-booted the router and modem and...voila!, all is well in Titusville land. But it was a quick early morning reminder of how much I rely on this wonderful (when it works) technology...and how stressful it gets when it goes away. It's too easy to take it all for granted.
