A tribute to you, internet!

Hey all

I promised myself that I would post more often than just every now and then. But you guys I have a life outside the internet. LOL. Who am I kidding, I have no life outside internet. I seriously don't think I could survive without internet. For me it's like going on holiday which means eventually one day you will return home and internet is waiting for you, arms stretched out welcoming you back. Even when I'm on holiday I check my emails every now and then just because that's how I connect with the life I left behind. And that's how crazy we are these days we can't live without constantly being connected or being reachable. I always think man how would life be like if someone could not reach me, if they couldn't call me or text me or email me. MY LIFE WOULD FALL APART. And I'm not even an important person. I don't run a country, heck I barely run my own life.

Sometimes I think about how people functioned without a mobile phone. How did people make connections, what happened if you were running late to meet someone, how can you connect with them? Although that being said I guess I would be less inclined to be late. For example I'm usually late to meet people, like always, there is very few times in my life that I have been early - only when I have an interview or something. I use the fact that I can text and call people as an exercise to be late. Because all I have to do is tell them that I'm late and some how this excuses my behaviour.

Of course with technology comes dangers, like movies that warned you about robots coming alive and killing you while you slept. Technology is concerning, I know its not new issue but most people are living their lives on the internet. Now every little aspect of their lives are on show. That means nothing is hidden, nothing is discovered and nothing is really connecting. Well only in a superficial level. But before you run off screaming into the sunset let's step back for a minute, people. We are still rational human beings (well a very small portion of us are) and we have not completely lost all our techniques in connecting to one another it's just that we have integrated technology into that picture. And we have learnt even more than before that those who actually talk to you are your friends and the people who actually want to see, are your friends. Plus even if I die tomorrow I still have impacted the world, my life is forever floating in the interwebs for unwitting strangers to stumble upon and discover. I'M FOREVER IMMORTALISED! And you know what? I take comfort in that even if most people will never know who I am or what I did but I have left my imprint on this world even if it's a small one. I know the really impact I have is on the people around me, my true friends and my family. But I'm out there and I have spoken and someone will hear me.

Peace and love,
Samira
