A slow internet connection has to be one of the more frustrating things in our technology dependent society.  I'm currently writing from my parent's house, which has limited internet connectivety.  My parents only have one computer and, being that I no longer live at home for most of the year, they have not seen the need to invest in a wireless router.  Therefore, if I am to enjoy cableless browsing and blogging, I am forced to borrow wifi from the neighbors.  If you ask me, they're asking for it, considering that they have not completed the simple task of adjusting the security preferences on their connection.  I do, however, wish that my pirated connection was a little speedier, but beggars can't be choosers.
