Thanks! I feel oddly disconnected when my internet is down, even when I'm not planning on being on line. Weird.It's not weird. We rely on the internet for all of our information now. If it's not available, we are in the dark.
Perfectly understandable feeling.
If I recall, the feeling is most noticeable in the small of my neck.
It's fear, I think.

I don't think it's fear. It's a disconnect.
If you lose track of a friend, and years go by, you're okay with that, because you think of them as they were.
If, one day, you learn that something terrible has happened to this person, you feel badly about it, even though you are no less removed from them at that point. The potential was there.
You could have met again. You could have gotten back in touch. There was a possibility of hope. Now that hope is gone.
Our internet connection is now a ray of sunshine and hope into the dark dungeons that fate puts all of us in. The silent chamber of our imprisoning skull.
Messages from beyond give us hope.
