the back of beyond

I spent the greater part of the end of last week completely disconnected from the internet and even cell phone service, out camping with my son - and about 100 other parents and kids.

And I hated it. We really do need ubiquitous internet everywhere. Contrary to some peoples belief, the internet augments my life. I don't ever want to be without it. I felt like less of a person when I was disconnected.

Is that wrong? Whats the problem with me wanted to augment my humanity with electronic connections to others all the time? Why not live in the matrix?
