When i wrote my first blog all i did was stared at my laptop screen just knowing i wanted to blog.!! Without having any idea about what i wanted to write about. I wanted to know how a blogger feels just writing about anything and everything and sharing with the world their thoughts, ideas and their inhibitions.
This would have never been possible a couple of years ago Technology is one word i absolutely love.Our world has changed drastically and almost everything we want is just a click away.It could not have got easier than this.
So last night i was watching this movie called Wild Child which is about a rebellious American girl who is shipped off to UK for studying. I could some how relate to this movie since am in the UK myself for studies and the only question which popped up in my head was what made me leave my entire life, friends, family and an amazing job to come study in place full of strangers not knowing a single soul.How did i ever make this decision or rather what made me take this drastic step and it all came down to one thing TO FULFILL MY DREAM..!!..We all have dreams and wishes and it takes a lot of hardwork and sacrifices to make our dreams come true and i always take inspiration from this quote i read randomly stating "My wish is not to mean everything to everyone but something to some one".
We all have tons and tons of dreams and wishes but they always come true when its not only about yourself that your thinking of.
So back to Technology before i left India i was not upset about leaving everything behind because there was a convenient way of keeping in touch with everyone.All i kept hearing before i left was 'we will Skype , we will keep in touch through Facebook all day long , get a Blackberry we can bbm each other throughout the day and bla bla bla.
Thats when i wonder would i ever have the guts to actually leave everything behind if i would not be able to keep in touch with all my people back there in India.Would i ever follow my dream then..??Just think about it for awhile...
All i would say is Hail Technology..!!
I agree!! Technology has changed the way we live and communicate with the world. It is a very interesting point you made there, we are so dependent on technology today to keep all our relationships alive. Today it seems almost impossible for me to keep in touch with all my friends and family across the world without facebook and my smart phone. But on the other hand I think technology has made us lazy, I remember earlier I had a diary with all my friends birthdays and special occasions but today facebook conveniently does that for me which is great, but now everyone just messages each other on FB on birthdays, People have stopped calling each other, talking to them and personally wishing them. This has made our relationships impersonal. I fear that technology may eventually kill personal and non verbal communication. Let’s hope we can keep a balance and not become over dependant on technology.
