So much has changed in all these year. And when I say it, I am not going too far. I just mean from the time I joined blogger to now, it seems like an era has past by. It is indeed six plus year but in this millennium age, that is a significant amount of time, for new things to take over old things. My daughter grew into a six years old, I went back to school to complete my second Masters degree, bought a house, entered 30's club and so much more.
Not just me, but everything around me has also changed. Suddenly technology has taken an even bigger chunk of our everyday life. It's not that for us millennium kid it was ever a thing of past, but we seem to have being held hostage by them day and night. People look for their phone first thing in the morning and before retiring to bed, make sure all messages are read and replied. CRAZY but so true.. Tablets being so portable have completely taken over laptop for general internet activities.
When I look around I see almost all of my extended family: uncles & aunts & grand dads and all are now on Facebook. Everyone I know from kids to grand ma to everyone else have smart phones. Social networking continues to get stronger and fatter with each passing minute. Whatsapp has become a big deal now considering the insta chat option to all your current contacts on phone. From Google TV to Google glasses, something or the other is trying to find a place in our gadget profile.
Despite our life being completely submerged under these gadgets, most of us must have tried ( at least once) to try to get away from this kind of world and live a life of monk. I have done it but it was not as serene as I expected it to be. I guess striking a balance between the two world is the key. Till the time I find my right chord I will keep trying, making sure that I still remain the master of my own life..
