Connected at Thanksgiving

I spent Thanksgiving with my grandmother and her new husband’s family.  While I was there I had no internet access whatsoever for my computer.  However, I was still able to stay fully connected.  I don’t just mean via phone calls and texting.  I checked Facebook and my email accounts several times a day and was able to keep up with several of my friends who are currently in Portugal without any internet access either.  How?  By using 3G phones.  In this era of 3G (and soon to be 4G), it is very difficult to not be connected.  Every year, our society becomes more connected, leading to a faster paced world where everyone expects immediate responses.
