That big something we call the internet

So I'm in the middle of moving house, and pretty soon there wont be any new blogs until July the 11th unless by some miracle BT give us an early appointment, but that does not seem high on their list of priorities... 

Since 1991 the internet has supposedly been wireless, although not many used it then, now most homes have a "home hub" so the internet is all around...but is it in us?
if I stand in front of the router, mum still gets signal, now (in true story book fashion) it can’t go over me, can’t go under me, so has got to go through me... so does that mean Google is running through me, do I suddenly have an Amazon database in my foot, has my nose turned into Facebook? No, but why an earth not, all this information, the world wide web, anything I could want to know and a lot I don't is running through me and I'm expected to believe I will feel nothing, so I have a theory, admittedly a pretty odd one, and I promise you I was in no way influenced by a doctor who episode, but what if my nose is Facebook, my feet are Amazon, and of course my brain is Google but, and this is a very big but, we forget it as soon as we move out the way of the signal, there could be Google brained people walking the planet and no body would be any the wiser.

So the moral to this tale is don't stand directly in front of the home hub as you may turn into a search engine.
