Finally I am living in the 21st century !!

Finally I am living in the 21st century … where most of the people prefer to communicate in this 3rd space. I am not sure whether this revolution makes the world a better place to live but it definitely makes the workplace a better place to work.

You could pretend you are so busy working on your excel spreadsheet, writing emails to your clients but in fact you are chatting in THIS space using MSN, checking who is the newbie or victim being added to your Facebook or Friendster an hour ago.

The saying “Six degree of separation” will soon become three, two or one. The person sits next to you could be your girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend or a man who had a fling with your ex-girlfriend’s sister in the high school summer camp. The chain will go on and on and on until the last man standing on earth.

This could reunite all the friends and enemies in this virtual meeting point; there would be no physical abuse other than verbally if they can’t get along, that is possibly the best solution to the crime rate nowadays.

May be the government along side with the ID card should make it compulsory! And this should be introduced to those who carry knives and guns when they are out shopping or clubbing in town. If the bad link to the bad, the police could possibly be able to solve a crime in a shorter time scale.

Anyway, this is not about the gun culture in the society nowadays. (That could be in the next blog, watch THIS SPACE!)

Most of the people that I know are either a member of Friendster or Facebook. Some of them even have both! When is this become a privilege like having a St. Andrews Golf Club membership? I have been receiving invitations from friends to join the Friendster, Facebook or the most recent one “Multiply”.

Anyway, it is now 2am and I `couldn’t believe I am actually doing this !

Don’t get me wrong; although this sounds like whinging, in fact I quite enjoy this 3rd space.

Afterall, it got me a ‘date’ next Friday!
