you fall victim to a network problem 02? Fortunately, we have

Much of my professional life spent in a basement, where the advantages include easy access to the garden, kettle and fridge, and a certain kind of calm Cave, and the main disadvantage is it is virtually impossible to have a mobile phone that is not plagued by poor reception. Consequently, I spend much time running down the stairs in the first trill tone or bracing myself against the sentence: "You're breaking," which, in one day psychologically fragile, can be quite low.

But what do I have to complain? I am not, as is the case, a customer of O2 and, by extension, is not one of the $ 8 million - nearly a third of its users in the UK - which were victims of a network failure last Wednesday and Thursday. You can not make calls, send texts or use data, these poor souls were cast into a hell of isolation, drift of civilization until the great god telecommunications thereafter recovered and made the world again.

No, of course, we should take lightly the potentially serious consequences of sudden and unexpected loss of contact. It was also reported last week that the lack of O2 interfered with electronic tags that control the damned curfew. Also, perhaps less alarming, with the payment system Bicycle "Boris" in London

is quite possible that some terrible personal situations also occurred not only frustrated the social arrangements, but genuine emergencies compounded by the lack of a phone call. And somewhere between the mundane job interview and lost the excuse of pressing pressure, the message announcing the new arrival.

To begin, I want to walk the streets without having to weave through people who can not coordinate their members, along with inspections of their screens (which would not object to a system of fines). I want a drink with someone who only spoke of me all night. My day would be better with less txts me asking if I had an accident or is ill-sold PPI.

my phone company must always push my updates, in general, I wonder if I can have exactly the same phone again (which is never). Worst of all, I have committed actual sin of not having a smartphone. Friends look at my touchscreen funny little piece of brick Tappy not as if I literally crazy. When I'm not working my phone is usually silent in the bottom of my purse. Who cares? If it's urgent, rings again. Or send a letter.
More than anything, I have no desire to be constantly available, or have conversations that I did not really need to say that I do not do something more interesting. And I certainly do not want the words: "She had a great phone" on my grave. Therefore, the disadvantage, though I'm sure the fault was 02, we will try not to think of it as the end of the world . Silence, you know, is gold.
