10 Things I Could not do if the Internet was turned off in the USA

Posted on February 1, 2011 Written by Nibby Priest

Dude, Who Cut off the Internet?photo © 2010 Alan Levine | more info (via: Wylio)
1.       Plan what food we are going to eat for the week.  For Meal Planning I use FoodOnTheTable.com

2.       Create new Blog posts. I use self hosted blogger WordPress.org.

3.       Talk on my office phone –It is internet based Voice Over IP- (GoVaughn.com Communications network is powered by Norlight.com soon to be known as Windstream.com

4.       Backup my computer files. I use an online file backup service called Mozy Pro.

5.       Look up information and do service work for  Insurance Clients.  GoVaughn.com Insurance uses a hosted Client Relationship Management software called AMS360 by Vertafore.com.

6.       Order anything from Amazon.com. That actually might be a good thing!

7.       Check the online weather from WeatherUnderground.com.

8.       Keep up with my Twitter friends and Twitter myself.  I twitter at Twitter.com/nibbyp

9.       Listen to online church services.  I really like the service from First Baptist Church Knoxville TN.

10.   Waste time!

Recently I ran across this vintage video from 1994.  We didn’t even know what the internet was or a @ sign was used for on the internet.   Now we can’t in many ways function without it!  Take a look at this cute video featuring a young  Katie Couric & Bryant Gumbel .   They ask “What is the internet?”

What would you not be able to do without the INTERNET today?

Seriously my heart and prayers go to those in Egypt presently who are struggling and do not have internet.  Please pray for CBF Missionaries Duane and Marcia Binkley.  They were in Egypt visiting their son who is a university student.
