"Ambient awareness", or, I was just thinking that...

That's completely been my experience. When I saw Erica we just picked up as if we had been seeing each other all this time. You know what the others are doing. It makes socializing more efficient. You also know almost immediately when someone needs help or something that requires their friends.

I have often wondered how my life would be different should I have been in HS and college during this technological time. I had a pretty serious girlfriend in HS and was relegated to snail mail communication and seeing each other at Christmas and Spring Break. We grew apart rather quickly. I do wonder what might have been with her (and she wonders the same, as we still communicate) if we were 20 years later and our lives had each taken the same paths of being in different locations.
