The wonders of the evolution of technology. I was just reading some of the e-mails that were exchanged whilst I was away in Perth. It brings back memories.
Without the technology of the Internet, I really wondered how people who are away from home survived. Rather, I wonder how those who didn't have such technology then survived being so far away from home and only hearing from them like once a month because it takes so long for the letter to be sent to them and back. It definitely bridges the distance that we are apart. If not for e-mail, I don't know how I survived. I remember one of my lines in the e-mail that I sent was that I was living on the e-mails being exchanged to rid me of wanting to go home so badly.
In any case, if not for technology, friendships would not have been forged and relationships would not have been treasured. Thanks to mobile phone technologies too. I mean without being able to call home or sms friends would definitely be a chore. Look, we practically thrive on our handphones these days. If we were to live without our mobiles for a day, I think we would feel so lost and not know how are we going survive. When our mobile doesn't ring for a day, we think that something is wrong. Yes, I think we really thrive on our phones. We've practically become a slave to them.
I love e-mailing. I should do it more often. I love writing letters too. The joy of receiving letters (not bills) enthrals me. *hints*
Have been sick for the past week. Got a major headache last nite which lasted till this morning. Didn't go to church and visited my doctor instead. Going to see a doctor is really of no use when the medication doesn't work. Good thing he only charged me for my medication today or I think I would have paid a bomb. Dental appointment this coming Tuesday. Hopefully I don't have to extract any teeth. *scared*
