I find that I find comfort in brining my smarthphone everywhere, and knowing that I have internet access, even when I'm almost certainly not going to use it. It can be used as a symbol for any specific website or community, any specific person I could contact, of the internet and humanity itself, and of how scifi the world is because such devices exists. Etc.

This is somehting I intentionally use, wearing it like The One Ring around my neck, hugging it to my chest if I'm feeling uncomfortable, sometimes petting it and/or whispering "my presssiusss", etc. (And yes, that's literary; pop culture references is somehting I associate with the internet.)
