In November, when the US election day arrived, I noticed I was getting anxious. When the result still wasn’t clear in the morning, I decided to take a break from all social media and news. As a result, I had two incredibly productive days at work and I felt so much better. The short break was enough to cure my anxiety but it tends to creep in every now and then, when I spend too much time on social media. By social media I mean mostly Facebook and Twitter.

The internet! The internet is broken! Our broadband provider Relish has usually worked just fine without any major long-lasting hiccups. Sometimes the speed hasn’t really met our expectations, but it’s a wireless 4G broadband. It’s not fibre!

Last Sunday, everything suddenly changed.

Constant hiccups! The connection dies, doesn’t work at all until the router gets rebooted. Speed drops below 56k modem level and frustration grows beyond the limit where it’s trying to make us crazy, constantly pushing the anger-o-meter to the reddest of the red hue of the spectrum.

There is music that sounds just awesome, regardless of the way you listen to it. Be it from a vinyl record, digital high resolution lossless file or good old C-cassette, we often give highest value to the song itself and the lyrics, not the media.
