Lost in Ether

So what happens if Facebook or some other big social networking site goes down for a while… how many are there who can’t remember what they were doing without it?
(The graphics just go nicely with the poem, I am not the originator of the graphics.)

How many lost souls are there?
Lost,
But sitting at home,
At their desk
Lost,
Lost,
Lost, out of thought.
Why?
Their network is out.
So much time spent.
Sitting.
Sitting writing,
Hearing,
Watching,
Talking,
Communicating with friends,
Strangers,
Anyone…
But home,
But lost,
No network,
No Facebook.

    I wrote this while musing on the musing of others during the 7 hour outage today. How many people are their not knowing what they did with their time before Facebook.
