Home is where the internet is...

The hard lesson I learned today, when a guy comes to your door saying he wants to mount a new modem to your wall don't answer the door. He said the internet will be down only a half an hour, but I became suspicious of this statement when he asks "Do you use the wireless?"
I was sitting nicely on the couch crocheting a hat from a pattern I was reading off the internet, watching a show that was streaming through my Apple TV, when the door bell rang. Turns out none of this is possible with no internet. Thanks to Phillips and an over zealous husband I can not even turn on the lights in the living room without the internet!
