We are now truly mobile and the traditional office setting is becoming quickly obsolete. We can also easily keep in touch with family and friends. Moreover, they can make information easily accessible anytime anywhere. However, they are also too often abused and intrusive. Today, we live in a world where people expect you to be accessible 24/7. Privacy is no longer respected. And it's encouraging anti-social behavior where people no longer know how to be in the present.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01035024457077764850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061665328242748532.post-11862809591801036742010-07-11T06:37:08.154-04:002010-07-11T06:37:08.154-04:00From my iPad to your BB with love.Now we travel wi...From my iPad to your BB with love.Now we travel with so many gadgets and their paraphonelia that we need to pay overweight when we travel with Easyjet or Baboo.com! If getting the blogger her black berry was the reason for her blogging overflow,it was definitely worth it.<br />But one thing is worth mentioning,is that they are tools of anti social behavior for many of us!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04755067614603964584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061665328242748532.post-267873056678092232010-07-11T03:26:16.237-04:002010-07-11T03:26:16.237-04:00Ok all I could think of is that I want you to post...Ok all I could think of is that I want you to post that controversial blog about Israel.

I truly enjoy being a part of this process as I feel like, miles away from one another, we still manage to communicate as though we lived next door. I feel like each of these postings have a little piece of me in them.....which is why I don't post commentaries too often.<br />Blackberries and I phones (but I like BBs a lot more!) have revolutionized communication. They are so tiny yet keep you so in tune with the world. I will speak of my experience as a mother with a BB, because initially these smart phones were really geared toward the workforce. Actually when I was a lawyer, and in those days believe it or not we still had a choice whether or not to be given a BB, I chose not to have one, as it would make me too readily available to the partners.....Now that I am a stay at home mother, I never go anywhere without it. I take the NY subway and type draft emails to different people, which get sent as soon as I get back on to the sidewalk. While waiting to pick up my son from school, I place a call, or BBM my friends and family. It's in those empty pockets of time that I use it and it's great to be able to fill those times efficiently. Although sometimes the book I carry around gets lonely, and so I resist temptation and read instead, remembering the pleasure of a non electronic read!<br /><br />The BB can be a problem as it is addictive. I try not to look at it too much when I play with my kids, although even my youngest likes to play with it. At dinner, we have a no BB rule etc....If we (my husband and I) didn't abide by these rules, we would live an electronic life, with no real relationships or conversations. It is still so important to speak to someone in person, to connect and to take time, as social relations should not always be efficiency driven.<br />So technology is a gift but also can be scary if you don't draw the line....<br /><br />Have a nice day "bloggeuse"!<br />love<br />AmiraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
