communication

was a hard thing years ago

IF you could read and write, you got a sheeps stomach
scraped it down and stretched it
ground up some ink
pulled a quill from a goose made a POINT with a knife ( penknife)
wrote your letter
and tried to find someone going that way to deliver it
the delivery could literally take years

today
everyone seems to be able to reach anyone instantly with the internet
(i love the internet, it's like the universes biggest library....... puts the one that was burned in alexandria to shame)

the knowledge and ideas are amazing
there is ( like everything else) a dark side
the underbelly of the net
but with moderate care you won't deal too much with it


it is relatively easy to find folks with similar interests to yours to 'hang with'

you want to know how to milk a yak?
(oh sure you do......you know you do)
google it!

google is now a verb that means to search online
(with pretty pictures)

as communications shrink
and our world shrinks
i hope that instead of losing the wonder of it all
we are even more amazed at how intricate and detailed and astounding the universe can be

and not just lost in the latest computer generated game
