Today I'm thinking about the difference that technology has made in my life. I was a late-comer to getting a beeper, I mocked my friends who had early cell phones, and I refused to blog or join social networking sites for years.
This topic came up because a while ago, I updated my Facebook status to ask about some friends I knew from high school. These two guys definitely had an impact on my development, and although we rarely kept in touch, occassionally they'd pop into my head and wonder about them.
One of my friends commented that he had heard about them, and I was amazed. Last night, my phone rang. It was one of the guys I asked about!
This is why I think the techonologies are pretty amazing. Sometimes I feel silly spending time on the sites. Sometimes I think there's a reason the past is past, and I should focus more on my future. Still, I spend a lot of time in this head of mine, and I have always wondered whatever happened to people I cared about at one point in time.
It was great to hear from him; I hope we might try to stay in touch more often. We'll see. You, people, and I know how well that went before.
