...I love, absolutely love, how connected we are. Now is a great time to be alive - the wonders of communication give us the opportunity to share, instantly, our thoughts, dreams, photographs, and words in an instant.
From Facebook to pinterest to this blog we can share and it's a good thing... Isn't it? I think so. People read words about my life that I don't even know, people "like" things I post online - pictures, words - who live in far flung corners of the world - we are globally connected - we exist outside of our own locality - we are developing a global community. I can't help though thinking of those we are leaving further behind in countries fraught with trouble. Yet interestingly we are fascinated by ancient communities who live as they have for many years - anyone a Bruce parry fan? - and are careful not to adulterate their culture by introducing them to our new inventions - are we not in danger of treating them like the curios from the travelling circus! I say bugger that give them the Internet and a cool pix camera and a pinterest account! Imagine the photos! We would have been horrified if someone had tried to hold our country back because they thought they should maintain our culture as it was in, say, 1700.
Opportunity is for everyone so give everyone the choice so they can be masters of their own destiny!
