Today my phone broke

It was a pretty old phone that was in crappy condition. But here's the thing. I am totally reliant on the internet to be in contact with people now. Once upon a time I was glued in front of the computer anyways, for the better part of the day for work and I realize now I have not signed onto AIM/Ichat until today...for a good 2 years almost! WEIRD. I am also constantly checking my inbox waiting for people to reply to me like a mad person! So what's the reality? Am I the ignorer or the ignored? I guess I will never know how many unanswered text messages and/or calls are on my broken phone. :)
