Up here they make you so dependent on e-mail and the internet that it is disturbing. Last semester, the campus e-mail went down. You would have thought there was a shooter on campus or something. Everyone was in a complete panick. I was laughing it up saying "I told you so" to all the arrogant people who told me "We don't send PAPER copies of bills to you, that is so 19 century. The e-mail system is so much better." (Arrogant Higher-ups) "Okay, what happens when technology fails since your bills haven't been coming through the e-mail." (RLSH700) "That is impossible, technology never fails." (Arrogant Higher-ups)
It is foolish for people to have a blind believe in technology and never having a back-up plan for when it fails (especially when all the services are run by computers built by the lowest bidder-Gateway[:'(]-).
