Last week I couldn't contact Google. I could get to other sites but not Google. Couldn't even ping it.
My lifeline had been cut. The internet was still there and so were other search engines but the power I take for granted had gone. I actually started to panic and began thinking - how would I continue without Google? Google returned after about twenty seconds but it seemed an eternity.
Information access is an addictive habit - easy to get hooked and hard to kick.
Stop for a moment and imagine what would happen if Google went offline tomorrow.
