Last night Sachiko and I were talking about monthly bills and what we could do without.

Cable/Satellite? Perhaps gladly.
Land line? Not a problem.
Cell phones? We could live.

Internet access? Never.

It was funny to me to think of the resources I grew up using and how, just over 7-8 years, Internet access has become one of the absolute must-haves. I could not imagine a world without it. Actually, I can barely imagine a world without wireless high speed access.
