I have finally gotten an Internet connection in my apartment much to joy! So I am welcoming myself back to the information super highway. I thought earlier that I now once again feel like a well connected human being, but that same thought somewhat bothered me. Why is it that my connection back into the Internet allows me to feel somewhat normal. What is this sense of normalcy that I am experiencing or gaining from being connected again. It seems similar to the feeling I get when I come home after being away for a long time. Have I become that wired?
I wonder if this feeling will detract from my experience here in Korea. I do not know but it sure as hell will make it easier for me to gather information fast again and contact people back home. Also that means more work will get done on the blog
I think it’s more of now it’s easier to feel connected to those who love and miss you back home… or at least it’s cheaper for you to stay connected to all of us back here or wherever in the world they may be =D
Dude, I totally know what you mean. But let’s face facts: we live in the Information Age, and the primary mode of accessing that, especially for our age group, is the Internet.
Here’s a corroborating example and some more information for you: I’ve been in the hospital since Friday. Most people didn’t learn this until yesterday. Why? Because that was when Elizabeth lent me her laptop and I was able to access Facebook & let everyone know.
How else can we connect over long distances? Phone? Not really. For mass communication & mass information, internet is the only mass medium.
Ry rye- This blog shit is so confusing! I signed up for skype… so either add satan or give me your contact name : )
Rack already had your phone disconnected.
Becca update- I poured boiling water all over my hand… ouch : (
Love you!
