Feeling stressed or anxious at an inability to access the internet? Don't worry, you're not alone and now there's a word for it: "discomgoogolation". Interesting?

Heh, to me, 'discomgoogolation' shouldn't be suffering from the lack of internet access itself, but rather suffering from a lack of instantaneous information queries, or lack of information satiation.

Lack of internet access should be...'discomnetolation'.

There's probably a better word, but my creative juices are dry. Speaking of creative juices...
