bye bye snailmail

living in the 21st century is nothing but a blessing. now, we are showered with many different medium of communications just so that bonds can be retained and friendship will never be forgotten. with the introduction of the mighty, godly Internet, the world has never been the same.

through it, children can now play multiplayer online games. ironically, children nowadays are less active and hence, u can see "cute" children around. furthermore, u no longer see kids wishing to dear Santa Claus for UNO cards as their birthday gift. try to ask the young kids around and they will give out answers like, the X-box, Nintendo Wii, laptops and even i-phone. parents might need to spend extra thousands of bill in order to show their love and devotion for the children.

for the youngsters, it seems like mIRC or ICQ are the outdated software. i remember how i used to spend hours on the monitor screen chatting with my schoolmates in #smssa. i also used this opportunity to be popular among the chatters and i got to befriend some of the hot and goodlooking seniors. gotta admit, i came up with some crushes back then and, yea, hunting game was fun! good times, good times =)

nowadays, social group websites such as facebook and twitter seem to be the reason why youngsters get stuck on the monitor. in a way, u have less interaction going on since just by looking through the profile, a quite bunch of info can be obtained. we no longer have to use this command; a/s/l. haha

few days back, i was surprised to see my friend request list in facebook. my my, it was my nisha's baby sister; shameera. she is only 9 and lookie, lookie. she has a freaking facebook! at other times, i cant help but to giggle when i add some of my middle school teachers who might be of around my mom's age. wat an amazing craze.

nevertheless, i consider myself as a lucky individual. i was once a dedicated user of snailmail, having penpals from malaysia and now, i change into relying the Internet for that purpose. i kinda miss the excitement of having to go to the post office, queueing for stamps and waiting for the postman to bring me the reply. i used to live few blocks away from the post office and i gotta say, i even made friends with the workers there. now, i even find it hard to find the nearest post office and know the release date of the latest stamp collection. *i have more than 2000 stamps collection. hehe

with the introduction of 3G, i know the internet can now be accessible almost everywhere. im excited to see what's the future has in store for us all, who live and breathe with the powerful internet connection.
