Isn't it great that we live in an era of technical excellence. If you think about the infinite possibilities of being able to find out virtually anything you could ever dream of, it is mind blowing. I love the fact that you can reach the rest of the world from your fingertips. Borders with countries just dissolve. You can buy products, browse picture, read and post reviews about travel experiences. You can join a whole plethora of on-line networking groups such as: facebook, Plaxo and LinkedIn. There has never been a more exciting time to put information on line. Isn't it amazing now that with a broadband USB stick attached to your laptop, you can sit in the middle of a field and send and receive email, browse the web and talk to friends and do a host of other things as long as you have network coverage.
Like most things though, exercising some sensible cautions will provide you with great balance. If you eat too much chocolate you are likely to be sick. If you expose yourself to 24/7 information overload you are likely to feel as though you are going crazy. What I mean by that is that if you have a blackberry or similar it is easy to become obsessed with each mail that comes in because you just have to know who sent it! There has to be time when those boundaries are drawn and no emails are sent.
Being able to respond to opportunities and situations instantly is truly advantageous. Being able to strike while the irons hot is wonderful. Being able to hit the 'power off' switch is also a great thing to do from time to time. You can't be 'available' for so much of the waking world's time. With no boundaries or borders there are also now no time zones as such. The world is a global marketplace this is running 24/7 - 365.
If you have something that you want to take care of, something that you want to communicate to somebody, why put it off? Once you have made a decision to do what you really want to do, then take action and make it happen. You'll look back on many things and realise you could have done many things sooner. That can also be considered along side Eckhart Tolle's ethos of "you are exactly where you are supposed to be right now". His book is called "The Power of Now". You may want to read it sometime. I think the old expression is "why put off until tomorrow what you can do today".........somebody had a point. It is called the instant human communication.
