Growing up in the 70's and 80's when having a phone installed was a mega big thing.... like changing your old Black and White TV for a rental colour one; before the home line on the wall, we would rush to a phone box which was usually smelly to arrange hooking up with friends.

Marks first Mobile phone was a giant thing, that he carried around like a Battery Pack, soon after the phone shrank in size to a old walkie talkie with a solid ariel that could easily poke out someones eye.  In what seems like no time at all, we were on small Nokia's and now most people carry phones that store their whole lives on.

Mark was very proud of his phones - even the one we laugh about now!

Me personally - I dont do mobiles!

But, I am impressed with this Fibre Optic stuff!  I dont care that I have no idea how it works, and Im generally not overly that interested either, I even hate fibre optic Christmas Trees that change colour; but I do nod in the right places and say the Mmmm's, Oh's and Okey Dokeys in the right places, because Mark is.  

Living in a Rural setting has a tendency to be behind many new aspects of technology.  Sometimes I think thats a good thing, do we really need all these modern gadgets that separate us from family and ideas from the "Good Ole Days"  

I think even more though about what would happen if the Country suffered and EMP, or if the Grid went down - what would Fibre Optic do for us then during a Powercut?  

So I decided to google that question on my super fast connection.

The results were not that great really if you live Rurally! 

IT TOOK SEVERAL YEARS TO BRING ADSL BROADBAND TO HORSTED KEYNES, THIS PAGE RECORDS THAT STRUGGLE AND COVERS OTHER LOCAL BROADBAND ISSUES

A WARNING ABOUT VILLAGE POWER CUTS AND FIBRE BROADBAND

However if the Grid did go down for a long time I doubt that the worry of Fibre Optics in a rural setting would be a priority to many - including the locals. 

Many would be worried about their lack of hot water, that their hairdryers wont work and that they cant charge their little phones that store their life neatly in files....but hey "Me Personally - I dont do mobiles" 

I also used that Fast Fibre Optic to see for myself that Powercuts are on the rise, are happening every day and that there are many reports indicating that we are in a time where we could loose the grid completely.

If the Grid goes down and the SHTF the people you hope will come to your rescue will be helping their own families with no concern for you!

Well I suppose we all have to start somewhere - Modern Technology does become hard to grasp hold of when you get older; Like the old saying "You cant teach an old dog new Tricks".... But we are giving it a go.

Having now semi mastered Facebook and Twitter "The Blog" thing seems a good direction to move in; however it took a while to get to this point.  If anyone out there sees' this PLEASE for our sanity reply so we know its out there - Like that hypothetical Bone thrown :)
