Being Offline Decreases Earning Capacity

Due to heavy rains and lightning, we had a four hour brownout last night. Then when the power came back on we found out that the lightning had zapped our modem, as well. It was a 15 hour wait before someone finally came to replace our modem and bring us back online.

I realized that being offline drastically cuts one's earning capacity online. I couldn't do research for my writing, couldn't update my blogs, Twitter and Facebook. Well, I don't monetize Facebook but blogs and Twitter are among my marketing ventures online. Add to that my freelance writing assignments which I submit by email.

I can't live without an internet connection.
