sometimes you just have to say "wow!"

by milktoast67 @ Wednesday, Apr. 19, 2006 - 10:40:14

whenever I'm feeling a bit isolated and lonely I send out a bunch of emails to friends around the world and hope that there's something waiting for me the next morning.....well this morning I hit the jackpot. Friends responded to emails from last night and those from last week as well! Woohoo! Love that!

One friend has been living in Indonesia for quite some time now, he's half Indonesian and half Italian (well....I think that part is really American but he likes to say that he's half Italian....) and has been working there successfully first as a tv presenter, then a journalist with Reuters and now Time...but more recently he's gotten a side gig as a DJ. www.equinoxdmd.com (he's Jason) seems that there is a pretty decent Indie music scene there.

I just sit back and think, "wow" this whole internet thing is obvious, we use it every day and don't think twice about it any more but then there are moments when I sit back and think about how easily we can stay in touch with each other and the world. What did we do yrs ago? its too good....

It IS too good, isn't it?

But I find myself really envious (and a little saddened) that the likes of your impending bundle of joy will never know the wonderment we felt when it exploded into our lives.

It'll be like our mums describing days without colour TV, or mobile phones (well, I remember those being amazing, too...)

you are soooo right! we'll be saying silly things like, "back in the day when WE didn't have the internet....", "Before we had email...blahblah" And these little guys will look at each other and roll their eyes, god, its going to be crazy when they grow up.

sometimes I sit back and wonder what its going to be like in the future. one of my friends has asked all of us to predict what its going to be like when her newborn son turns 21....I tried to reply on their blog and just sat there dumbfounded...not knowing what it could possibly be like....

amazing
