A long time ago, it was very difficult to connect with people and communication and work were at a snail's pace when you needed to send something pronto.  You either had to send letters that would take a while or talk long distance through the telephone.  When it came to the telephone, you had to make your conversation short or expect a very expensive bill.  When the internet became available to everyone, it sure change the way people communicated shopped and worked.  Now everybody's connected to the web like it's a new dimension you want to explore and never leave which reminds me of the song "Spirits In The Material World" by The Police.

The moment one's opens the computer, the first thing you do is open the net.  We all have our reasons for getting connected.  Some communicate via Skype or try to find love through online dating.  Others want to play games and some are hoping to gain extra income through online jobs.  For me, it's about exploring and finding some extra income.  The funky thing about it is that it is like an out-of-body experience.  You're here in the real world but your focus is in the web, maybe with someone a million miles away.

In my office, we rely on the net a lot because we send and receive stuff via email. We also need to communicate post things via the internet.  It has made our work faster and easier.  There's no escaping it as it now affects all walks of life.  When I think of going online, it's leaving this world for the world in the net like a spirit leaving the material world.
