Modern technology is the way we make a community out of over populated towns and cities. We use modern methods of conveying information at speeds never before seen and unpredicted by the greatest mind of the past. As we look at our modern life we soon see that Facebook becomes our news source, Twitter our headlines and Myspace a market place tabloid. We use the intellectual collective as our readers’ digest of the modern era. Technology has given the masses outlets for creativity and opened the doors to exploration beyond our earthly confines and human frailties. If you could traverse the wealth of knowledge pouring out of a city blocks cable/DSL lines, you would have gone from the moon and back more times than your heart beats in a day. Picture for a moment the multitudes perusing the framework of your mind, the allegory would elude anyone not outside of themselves; and yet we have created this very vision. Networks of processing centers conveying data and relaying information have designed the earth as the neural center for your digital body. Newspapers, morning news reports and “water cooler talk” are a nostalgic dream for the generation of digital consumers. We live a reality where a sense of self has become represented with an avatar and emoticons. Virtual arms reach for communal kinship, “reply to all” is our bulletin board and visiting family includes using Skype. Discipline is being kicked from a server, rejection is ignoring a friend request and narcissism is wondering if your friends ignore your status update. This is the world we live in, Google it!

The modern telegram is a text message...
Google it (v): etymology: from the word Googol (coined by Edward Kasner) meaning the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros in decimal representation. Definition: to pose the internet a query with an expectation to have been presented hundreds of choices for an answer.
