The term "disconnect" is used in literature to denote both literal and metaphorical separations. In technical and instructional texts—such as Odd De Presno’s repeated examples in The Online World—it often describes the moment when a digital or telephone connection is severed, whether abruptly due to interference [1] or intentionally during routine operations like logging on, retrieving data, or ending automated sessions [2–7, 10–12, 14–15]. In these contexts, disconnect implies a clear break from a network or device, sometimes even as a precaution against hazards [2]. Yet authors also deploy the term more figuratively; for instance, Mark Twain uses it to imply isolating a broken element within a system [3], while F. Scott Fitzgerald portrays it as a physical detachment among people [4]. Even in works with strategic or mechanical focus, such as the OSS manual, disconnect connotes actions that lead to significant functional or systemic changes [5].
