Ross Béthio now has Internet!

I feel like we've jumped forward here hundreds of years. Although I'm not sure how many other people here in my corner of the world feel the same way. All the sudden I have access to nearly unlimited not-that-slow internet. We'll see how this changes my experience in the coming months, and if it all improves my failure up-until-now blog attempt. The entire world is now at my figure tips. Bu the same question remains, why do very few of the people with whom I live have a very limited ability to acess the same world?
