Obsessive compulsive cogs click and we sync with the universe

It creeps up on you slowly. It's not just disconnection anxiety. When you can't check your Facebook status. When you can't see what your 'friends' are tweeting. It's the concept of being disconected. No signal. Phone not working. Forgotten phone, left at home. It's about being out of sync. I don't really need to have my work calendar synced with my phone. Or my to do list. Or all the podcasts that I subscribe to but never listen to. And yet when it's all over, when it says you can now disconnect (no no I never want to be diconnected) the sync was sucessful or whatever it says it feels like the world has steadied itself like the platform in monkey ball and everything is going to be all right.
