Turning Off Your Computer

I have a laptop and I never turn it off. It’s a customized 2011 MacBook Pro and I live with it. If I’m at home, it’s on. I close it when I go to sleep, I open it when I wake up, I close it when I leave the house, and I open it when I come back home. I update it, I let it sleep and rest, but I hardly ever turn it off. And I’ve never had any problems with it. Turning off your computer is like shutting off your gateway to the outside world. You are cut off from reality, from the now. My laptop is a few seconds away from a global connection at any given point. If the zombie apocalypse started tomorrow, I would be among the first to know. Everyone else is walker food. The only reason why I’m writing this is because I’m about to shut it down for a few days while I’m on vacation. I can only hope that it will reactivate when I try to turn it on when I come home. If not, my laptop will become an extremely elaborate paperweight. You get what you paid for, and I paid for a lot.
