My generation is the one primed and ready for a globalist culture:
- Sharing stories via telephone with a friend in Nigeria
- Telling mom about my day while she shops in North Carolina
- Listening to my Dominican friend try to win the heart of a Guatamalan girl in Texas
- Sending a random, non-sensical text to a friend in Minnesota
- Receiving pictures of Victoria Falls from a friend sitting in a hostel in South Africa
- My sister telling me to let Mom and Dad know she's safe after arriving in France
- Sending her cell number to a friend who will also be in France this summer
- Reading her brother's blog about his adventures in Peru
- Making smalltalk with a friend as she lounges with her family on vacation in Wisconsin
- Ordering used books from an Ebayer on the west coast
- Getting a comment on my blog from a man who also lived in Jengre, Nigeria as a child (Decades before me)
- Receiving a party invitation from a friend in Michigan
- And another wanting me to visit her in Chicago
- Uploading websites for work to Seattle while asking a tech to update another server in New Jersey
- Tech support from India
- My boss's wife talking business in French on the phone to Quebec
- Streaming music from Russia
- Working closely with web designers in the Philippines
- News from Britain
- Receiving a bug report from Ireland
- Grandpa commenting on my blog from Oklahoma
- Me posting to another blog in California
- People from all over the world discussing it
- A private forum connecting my close friends who are scattered across the country
- A friend in Michigan zooming in on a satellite image of the mall we're going to meet at tomorrow
- And another downloading a pirated video from Sweden
... This was my past couple of weeks. Tell me our society is not absolutely amazing.
