Disconnected In Rural Georgia

I was visiting a future client in a rural Georgia town last week.  The future client was running late, so I had to wait in the lobby for a while.  I pulled out my iPhone to pass the time, and much to my horror I had no connectivity!  I briefly felt like Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) in the movie Castaway, disconnected with no way to communicate with the rest of the world.  It was painful yet enlightening.  I did not realize just how reliant I had become to having instant access to the internet.  I'm currently looking for a support group because of the experience.

 

So my tech tip is to bring a book or a magazine when traveling to rural areas.

 

Happy teching,
