The Australian government rolled out NBN (National Broadband Network) across the country with fibre optic cable for faster broadband. So naturally our internet goes out even more often than it used to and is no faster than before. It's not usually too much of a problem for us, but for those with school children who are supposed to use it for their homework and the school isn't being understanding, it can get quite stressful. These days there is phone data available as well if you have something important that needs doing right away.

When the internet goes out and I find myself stressing I try to also remind myself how we did things before it even existed. Like going out in the sunlight as you said. We don't get enough of it these days.

The world now seems smaller. We are connected. Constantly, if so desired.

Yet ironically we are also more disconnected by it, especially when we gravitate to doing all our socialising virtually instead of in person. (This could be added to that post about loss of community one of us might write. 😉)
