Internet-no onternet

[Orford girl]

Albergue Eskerika suddenly didn't have internet even thought I reserved by Internet?????? An hour or two before. Also no internet, although advertised as such, in Albergue Peregrinos Urdiales ?

I'm not sure what the question is, but I am eagerly anticipating the comments.

Hi Orford girl! I have NO idea what the problem is since you seem able to communicate....
But I wish you a buen Camino, with or without Internet

Are you talking about WIFI access to the internet, or the internet itself? In any case, did you raise the issue with the hospitalero? Often there is a simple fix, and in some places the quality of a WIFI service can vary substantially in different parts of the building.

ah I understand. I walked the Camino with my daughter and discovered that internet access is very like oxygen and the lack of it has simular affects! Internet access for a particular generation is at the very top of the pyramid of needs. Not Everyone understands that
Buen camino

if you don't have WiFi, how are you going to 'catch em all?'

 

[jarlath]

Are you complaining or rejoicing

 

[Bajaracer]

First world problems.

Yeah, I don't. My bad, I chose the red pill...
Out of the Matrix, straight to Camino Wonderland!

Still, (sincere!!!) Buen Camino, the way that suits you best

I wouldn't be a fan either and would agree, however everyone is at different stages and we need to be accepting of that....
It's so easy to just disagree.... It's a lot harder to try and understand.

Hi Simeon
I agree with you! I was just in a joking-short-post mood However, sorry if you felt stung, it was really not mt intention.
I know I didn't develop my disagreement, but I actually don't just disagree... So here's a little more.

I'm not sure I'd say there are stages between people, but for sure, everyone is different and has different liking! I respect tech-addicts' choices and sincerely (!!! did I say) wished a Buen Camino to them, on the way they like best. Even if I'd rather have a live chat with them
Then, well, in fact, I actually lied... I do understand. (The joke didn't worked as well thought) I worked with youngsters, I totally get Internet is at the top of their world. (It's actually close to mine too when off-Camino!) I also get that deprivation is hard... isn't "rehab" first stages always that way? (My fix is sugar... I get it ) And I get Internet is an awesome tool to deal with many daily matters. (First to use it too)

Finally, writing this post, I actually realize I don't really agree nor disagree. I look at things, some I prefer and others not, but I don't agree or not with them: they are, and that's it. I enjoy the things I prefer and pass the things I don't (or I hang around and discuss points of view )
On the matter, I still personally believe that Internet is very useful but not essential, that the Camino offers much preferable things to think/do than Wifi, and that it's quite sad not to be able to unplug for a little while. I prefer to get off Internet on my Camino, but I understand and respect people who prefer differently.

Best Camino to all, with or without Internet!
