6 Things to Do When Your Internet Goes Down

July 19, 2017


Although I could just as easily write a blog featuring the methodical steps to take when your internet is down and the importance of having a crisis management plan, I’ve decided to take a more creative and realistic route. Here we go:
6 Ways to Kill Time While Your Internet is Down

  1. Play the Dinosaur Game- The dinosaur game (on Chrome only) is dangerously addictive and only appears when your internet is down, or don’t have a connection to a site.
