Fiber optic Internet is coming (or something)

I have never fully entered the 21st century, or even partly entered it. Or the 20th century, for that matter.

I have a 19th century mentality, I am afraid. These modern times are too technical and too fast for me. So when I got a letter saying that fiber optic Internet is coming to Durham, and I was strongly advised to “ go for it,” I said to myself, “Nah, I am happy with what I have. It is all fast enough for me.”

I believe in leaving well enough alone.

Besides, I did not want to use any of my brain cells trying to figure out something new.

My brain does not like to over-exert itself. It likes to just hum along at a nice leisurely pace and not have to learn anything of a technological nature. So I ignored all notices, until I got one saying that the service I have now is going to, at some point, be “decommissioned.”

Well, that doesn’t sound good.
