Meditation 10/10/09: The People Who Come and Go In Your Lifetime

[wkeej]

I feel that the change in the last 10 years (2001-2011) isn't as drastic as it was in the previous 10 years (1991-2001). Or perhaps it was just I who changed more in those years.

Yes, I totally agree. The Internet has a great impact on our lives. Or else we will not be here.

I'm inclined to agree, though I do think the last 10 years saw some drastic changes. Mobile devices and social networking are 2 big new things that have reshaped our lives. For me, social networking has replaced 99% of personal email and 95% of phone calls.

2 other excellent major changes, in my mind, are the increasing acceptance of gay culture and the green movement, both mainly driven by the new generation.

Since I got an unlimited texting plan, I text way more than I call now. I've sent/received 3000 texts in 3 months with the new plan. I shocked even myself the first time I noticed the msg counter.

FB has def made staying in touch and organizing get togethers so much easier
