I bought a new Nokia charger. I couldn't find mine when I arrives. I guess its in one of my DHL package. Til now, that package is still being held by US custom. So much for express delivery!
When I arrive, I was quite panicky as I was going to be unplugged from both the Internet and phone. To tell you the truth, its quite scary. We can find a lot of information online, and without it, out life function at less than half the speed. Without the phone, you cannot be found by others. You do not get the choice, and do not know what others might need from you. You may be ignored.
Other than the productivity side of us, I think there is also a social side of us. I remember a Tibetan tour guide who is quite well to do as his household owns 20 Yaks (which is about 10k/yak). But he thinks his family is outdated, and he wanted to work in the city. He thinks economic development is good. He wanted to be part of them.
To me, the thought of being forgotten can be unnerving. Forgotten and dissappear in this faceless world? where you see your friends on msn, sms, and emails most of the time. Actual face to face is so rare, especially when you work at home. Plugging into the world may be the only world to show that we exist.
