Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert cartoon, lost his Internet connection for the day and was in a panic mode:

I am cut off from the world. I feel like a fingernail clipping that has inexplicably flown ten feet and hidden under the bathroom scales. I am no longer a technology “have.” If I want information I am forced to make a phone call and engage in small talk. If I want to know the weather, I have to look out the window. This is no way to live. I am only a few levels of intolerance away from being a Taliban.

On a more serious note, read this blog post by Adams. It's inspiring, to say the least (only 1,382 people have left comments)
