Having been running a web hosting company for a few years in my life has made me aware how much downtime costs. People just get mad when their sites dont show up to their clients. Once, a long downtime on my Windows server made me transfer the ownership to someone else who is more capable of doing it better than me.
Since morning, I tired to use google about 7 times to search for various things, and I found that the big G was down. Holy fucking shit, does this happen to google too? Imagine a dying man searching for life insurance in google and finding it down 
People like me who depend on google for their lives would only now realize how important google is for them. As for me, I can’t do a thing right without google. Be it configuring a server, or to find the conversion rates, or to check the weather in places.
Earlier I used to feel crippled when I was away from the internet, now I feel crippled without google itself and I am unable to make up my mind to have yahoo or msn substitute it.
The servers are down now.
