Technology.

I cannot wait to see what our generation comes out with next regarding technology. Already I have witnessed so many amazing things, and have been able to add these wonderful inventions into my everyday life style.

One thing that never seizes to amaze me is the internet.

How insane is it that I can waste 6 hours randomly searching the web, watching Youtube videos, taking picture on Daily Booth, browsing Facebook, checking on the news at Digg, updating Twitter and watching last night's episodes of Secret Life at the click of a button.

GASP! It's overwhelming!

I think it's more overwhelming that it has been just in the recent months that I've turned myself over to the world wide web and consumed myself in it. In fact, I have only been a Twitter user for three days now which goes to show I'm still a newbie in the internet community. (Or should I say "n00b" which is what the pro-interneters call us who have just joined the "community.")

Now I don't want to give the wrong impression. I'm not a gamer and I don't base my existence off of how many views my Daily Booth photo receives. But I, like many others I am sure, find people on the internet I find fascinating. The internet community out there is unique, and genuine. There must be something about hiding behind a computer screen that allows people to just "let go."

The other day I came across vlogs (vlog was created to mean: blogging through video form). I knew vlogs existed, but I had no clue as to the extent in which they were used; for example, there are people out there (there=everywhere)who have a following of over a thousand people who tune in to see their new video postings.

One "vlogger" (yes I think I made that word up) had over 84 videos and 8,000+ subscribers!

I wonder if people try to live vicariously through someone else on the internet? Just a thought...

As technology continues to change, and the internet continues to become larger and larger and full of more opportunities, how will human interaction change? Will social development take different forms via the internet?

While I am not sure of the answers to the ^^^ questions, I do know that the internet has been very positive for the world to come together into one community. Children, students and adults can discuss ideas, share their culture, and spread their words by a click of a button.

With businesses going global, this is a very positive thing.
