"Grrrr"; or, the maddeningly ephemeral nature of the modern object

Our modem failed last night.  I was watching the little display light up and start to look for a connection, then all was blackness.  Well at least on the little screen.

The effect on our household is that not only do we no longer have wireless broadband coming in and connecting our little old PC to the wider world, but we also no longer have a "landline" connection to the greater humanity, as our telephone connection comes through the same modem.  We are, until I can find a replacement, informationally and communicatively marooned from society.

For the record, I'm writing this in my lunch break on my work computer.
