Technology for the most part alienates people but also bridges them together. It is odd how it can be a good thing and at times a not so good thing. A lot of my friends are addicted to the computer and especially to the notion of chatting. This habit can be very addictive and some people chat on for hours on end. It can start as an innocent chat thing to pass some 'free time' to a time consumming habit where you find yourself chatting on for hours with people all over the world or someone 2 blocks away from you. Funny how time slips away when one chats online. Sometimes we forget notion of time or our dearest responsibilities and meander in the fields of net not realizing that the person on the other end of the computer can be a complete stranger which we will never meet but yet something devours our minds and we grow bleek to the notion of time and funny how we can tell this stranger our deepest thoughts like strangers do on subways on New York. It is amazing how fast time passes on the net. Today i finally got a web cam and chatted with my sister, who lives so so so far away. But with technology it all seemed so near and yet so far. I took her on a tour of the house, showed her the new and the updates of what is going on.
It is quite extra-ordinary what this internet thing as done. In a way it is very innovative and yet in another way it is clandestine, overwhelming and too surreal to comprehend and at the same time a necessity of the times we are living in. It's very late now. I really must get some sleep. Chat with you laters....
