Today I gained a new found appreciation for the technology we have today. I’m one to rarely say this, but as I’m sitting talking to someone 12 1/2 hours ahead of me on one computer and can hear three other people talking on two different computers, it makes me appreciate the world I live in today. Yes, I’m sure I’ll be even more excited about this when I’m the one in an unknown place, with an unknown language, with only a few people I know, if any. And I might have not realized this if I was only talking to someone a couple miles away, or even a time zone or two away, but that doesn’t make it any less. From all around the world, we can be connected. From Washington, Idaho, India, Cambodia, North Dakota, France, where ever; today we can stay connected. Not even seeing a face, but hearing a voice can sometimes just make everything so much better.
