The World...Its Getting Smaller and Smaller

I know over the last 30 years (ok so I'm a little shy of being able to talk about 30 years but it is a good round number) the world has seemed to get smaller and smaller.  I started thinking about this while playing with the Instagram app and viewing pictures from all over the world this morning from my kitchen table while I sipped upon this mornings roasted beans.  The world is always at our finger tips, literally.

  I remember sending post cards when we went on trips to the Gulf of Mexico as a child to friends and family... What do we do now we snap a photo with our phone and send a txt.  It is amazing to think about how communication over the past 20 or 30 years has completely transformed our life, our culture, our world.  I wonder how different are things going to be in the next 30 years?  Can it really change that much, Yes...  It will change and it will be unimaginable.

Though all of this information being within our grasp at the swipe of a finger tip has many positives as with all good their is an opposite evil.  If managed and taken with in context and moderation it is satisfying to our lives.  However one must not forget how to be self reliant and function in the event of failure of such devices and life styles.  We must not loose our grasp on reality while struggling to survive in this virtual world.

As for now I will embrace the options at my finger tips, explore the world from the a front row seat at my kitchen table  and share the view from my own camera lens while I walk through life.
