Well, it has happened. In the USA there are more homes with the internet than not, with more than 60% having some form of internet access. The non-online are now officially in the minority.
Of course, there is a reason that is is so popular, You can shop for bargains and hard to find items. You can see what movies are showing, decide what to wear by checking the weather, manage to eat by finding recipes and ordering groceries. You can communicate with others by email, forums, instant messenger, ip voice calls, video, text messaging, and so much more.
But what happens if you find yourself in the minority, without a connection? This can be especially frustrating if you have grown accustomed to having your data stream on demand.
One possibility is that you can enlist the help of a neighbor or friend. Put together a list of badly needed data, perhaps in the form of emails, saved web pages, pictures, videos, and music. Call up the helpful soul and give them the list, detailing what you need and ask them to save it allto a DVD or flash drive.
When you go to pick up your data, you do not need to explain all the details. Simply tell the neighbor that you are there to borrow a cup of internet.
