Myself like thousandsof others have been hogging on to the internet daily and for people like me it has become anotherbasic needs. Just like having a handphone. However I have experience life without internet access. I was in Sipitang Sabah staying at a hotel beside the sea. Nice 5 rooms ex government rest house now run by a private company. The rate is cheap @ RM65.00 per night. The TV set only has Star Movie/HBO controlled from the reception maybe. So guest have no choice but to swallow what the man who control the ASTRO remote device wants to see.
For me internet is part of my daily necessities. As soon as I checked in, I switched on my laptop and plug in my Maxis Broadband modem. I foresee, there will be no access since it is 144 km away from Kota Kinabalu. I just wanted try my lady luck. Then I tried my Celcom Broadband. I know I can't get it connected using my phone since I can't install my phone software on my new laptop. I tried using the 3G modem built in on my netbook but the modem seems not reading the sim card. Maybe due to conflict because I am using the external Huwei modem. I know the technician at my netbook service centre advised me not to install any external modem because it will create conflict. But I have no choice since I am using the Maxis Broadband for all my internet connection on my other laptop and when I am at the office. So the move the sim card and insert into the netbook and vice versa is quite a hassle. On my netbook I have to take the battery out since the sim card slot is concealed inside the battery slot.
So, for the duration of 5 days in Sipitang, I was disconnected from the cyberworld and I felt how bored life is without the internet since we are used to living in that world at present.
