As much as I consider myself a salt-of-the-earth, no frills, crunchy granola hippie, truth is I love the Internet. Love, LOVE, LOVE the Internet. E-mailing and surfing are my favorites, but now that I'm plugged into Skype, being able to talk to folks the world over is a close third.
In the last few months, I've been able to get in touch with two friends (one in Germany, one in the States) who I haven't be in contact with for ~3 years and 15 years, respectively. With the help of Skype and Myspace, I've been able to rekindle old friendships and dispel sad thoughts that they were, like many, friendships lost to the depths of memories.
I've also been able to put a face to my international friends, literally. I have been lucky enough over the years to establish friendships in Russia, England, and Germany, but of course we are fortunate if we see each other every few years. Skype has allowed me to see these friends on a daily or weekly basis, making the geographic distance seem much smaller.
So for all you technocrats out there who love the Information Highway as much as I do (a trip you don't even have to drive to be on!), shoot me an e-mail from time to time. Or find me on Skype. The handle is Wacky Dame.
