It just dawned on me that we are living in such a connected globalised world.
Take my life as an example; each day I check my email, Facebook, Twitter and blog feeds multiple times. While I tune in to the latest music videos on Youtube, I can be reading the latest blog entry by Stephen Fry or a random baker half the world away. While I connect to my school’s web portal, I am notified by Twitterfox that Martha Stewart went to Cape Cod. Even when writing this paragraph, I have hotlinked you to more than 5 sources.
Yesterday I bought for myself the new Apple iPod Nano (in pink, duh). I logged on to iTunes, synced my musics and downloaded Podcasts and open lectures from Itunes U. So now when I travel from home to school, I can tune in to an open lecture on Philosophy by Stanford University or watch a TED talk. At the same time, I can connect to the internet on my HTC smartphone and send out an email.
Such is the globalised life I have. I’m constantly connected, constantly trying to keep myself updated with stuff. It almost feels like if I don’t do these things, I am reduced to, I don’t know, a mere speck on the face of this earth. It feels natural now to be connected to bigger things out there in the world and to just make technology work for me.
Oh yes, I am loving the iPod Nano, even though I don’t think the placement of the camera is intelligent design.

that is so how i feel when my computer spoilt last week! my world was reduced to almost nothing because other than work, family and small circle of friends, i don’t have much else except my social activities online.
Yeah. The immediate world is such a boring place. :P
