As I was responding to some compliments on pictures I had posted in ravelry I glanced down the list of individuals I was including in my post: New Orleans, Texas, England, Wisconsin, Australia. The internet is just amazing! When I heard about the earthquake in Virginia near DC this year I emailed friends and family in the area. Many responded almost immediately since they got the messages on smart phones. I visualize all these contacts as a globe with arcs from each individual connecting them to me - all part of my community. I just love it! I do believed all life on earth is connected - how nice that with the web we can have contact and exchanges too!
Happy 2012 all!
Interesting comment ... I am in the middle of the Outlander Series - by Diana Gabladon ( probably spelled that last name wrong), and it takes place in the 1700s when communication was exceeding slow if possible at all.
ReplyDeleteI would much rather "visit" that time by reading a book, than live through that time. Medical care is one reason - and communication between people is another.
Happy New Year to you my dear cousin. See you soon.
It is a very connected world we are living in. It is great to make connections with others who have the same fiber-y interests! Happy New Year!
