techmoms in a connected world - 01 October 2012

01 October 2012
I am writing this for Intel Fleximoms Tech Moms Blogathon

What do I write today? There is just so much to write about technology and us and yet it is all too less.
There is an ad for a famous chocolate brand where the protagonist is eating the chocolate and sees the squirrels romancing each other with vibrant colours on them. The ad is funky, colourful and I feel a very apt indicator of indicator of how we have travelled the distance with technology. It makes us colourful, feel romantic about the world, opens new avenues, gives us friends, helps us earn, have fun and generally create a wonder around us.
Although some might argue that the technological development has its flip side, I will argue back that the positive far outweighs the negative and anyway, the negative is for us to control. Bimari hai to dawaa bhi hai. We know the counters to the negatives, well almost all and it is for us to use them effectively.
How else would I be writing a blog (a portmanteau of the 'web log' – quite a mouthful that one!! )? There are multi author blogs these days, micro-blogging and each one is very interactive. This kind of interaction must have been a theme of some sci-fi from Hollywood in the yore.
Imagination has been given a shape and the miracle has become a reality, one which we revel in.
