When trying to get together with people it sometimes takes 34 calls before we know whats going on. I realize we could always plan better but it seems to make life simpler and harder all at the same time. In addition to people here I would have no other way to communicate. Instead of them, though, I might spring for SkypeOut. I could care less about Google being down... Hmmm, I often wonder how we functioned before cell phones.

They would publish the schedules of which regions would be rationed at which times- "se fue la luz" was the common response when you'd be doing something that required power and suddenly it went dark. As much as a pain that was, it was a daily reminder that electric power is a privilege and not a right. sean Noah, i used to live in Quito Ecuador back in ’95 and during that time they had power rationing throughout the city so 8hrs every day you could count on being without electricity.

I was trying to download something on SourceForge and it said down for maintenance, but there was no scheduled maintenance. So I frantically pressed refresh for a couple minutes, and then went to Safeway to complete some errands I needed to do. I came back and it was still not up, so I pressed F5 some more. Total down time was probably only a half hour and SF only had a file I needed, so I couldn't really imagine what would happen Google were to go down for an entire day. I think mass chaos would ensue.

Shivani also has a good point about Gmail, but if Goole went away I'd just use my Yahoo email account more. But then they'd probablye stop offering as much storage and never update it because of the lack of competition.

If my cellphone were unavailable for 10 minutes, I will be very upset and angry. If Google were unavailable forever, I will use Yahoo! and Ask.com.
