I'm taking a break during a lull at work for a minute, and emailing back and forth with my girl friend in Kitchener (Hi Michelle!! :D). It's something I'm sure we all do everyday... take 5 mins, type out some words, hit "send" and off it goes...
Honestly, AMAZING!!! :)
Think about it... I'm sitting here, at my desk, in Wingham, over an hour's drive away from her, and with a few clicks of some buttons, I can be talking to her as though she's right beside me!!! It's wild!!! I love it!!
Have you ever thought about that?? How did we go from hand writing letters that would take months to get to their destination, to this flat "thing" we call a keyboard attached to a "computer" with "internet" and "email" and being able to tap these "keys" and click the "mouse" and hit "send" and communicating over thousands of miles?!?!? It makes my head hurt a little bit!! :) It's so absurd, and yet we use it every day! And it's wonderful!
Another friend messaged me on Facebook this morning to arrange a Skype chat... from the Czech Republic!!! (Hi Jody! :D) Insane I tell ya!!!
All I really can say... is literally, Thank God for nerds!
