This morning, at the same time, I was:
- Chatting with a friend in Orlando – iChat
- Watching a 1940′s newsreel of Yosemite National Park – YouTube
- Reading comments from hundreds of friends, colleagues and acquaintances – Facebook
- Engaging in some passive marketing for my business – Twitter
- Posting a response to a question on the Strengths Campus community – Ning
- And scratching my daughter’s dog behind the ears – actual dog.
It just struck me that all of this (with the exception of the dog) was happening inside a little box sitting on my desk. I have no idea HOW all this stuff works, and it occasionally frustrates the heck out of me — but it is frankly quite amazing that it’s possible.
I am going to spend the entire day being aware of all the benefits I receive from technology.
