Down goes Yahoo mail

On Monday, October 26, disaster struck for users of Yahoo's e-mail system; the system went down like a punch-drunk boxer. Predictably,this sparked both outrage and widespread panic and emnity. Fascinatingly, this follows on the heels of Google Mail's similar outage recently. It just illustrates, yet again, the jeopardy of these systems. It also proves our own dependence on them. When they work, which is nearly all the time, life is blissful and easy. But, when the operation happens to go to hell, even for a brief period of time, we go to pieces.It shows how fragile we all have become in this technological world.
