Apparently there’s some massive million dollar project that’s about to kick off to ensure that commuters have Internet connection on their phones while underground in the city loop…
Really? Really, 21st century? We’ve gotten to the point where we can’t actually manage to be offline for the three or four minutes it takes to get from Richmond to Parliament? It baffles me that the fact that iPhones and androids can connect us to literally every single bit of information we could possibly ever need from anywhere around the world at any given second is not quite good enough. We can’t manage to stay in the real world for a few minutes on the train. When everyone had pink Motorola flip phones it costed an arm and a leg to connect to the Internet but it was still the most incredible thing ever that we didn’t need a PC the size of a house to get us on MySpace. It’s funny how quickly people take new technology for granted.
How ironic that I’m writing this in my phones “notes” in the city loop impatiently waiting for Internet connection so I can post it…
Oh, future..
