The i-decade

Getting closer to the end of the year it seems appropriate to discuss this nearly finished decade! I was just reading today an article in the Australian Newspaper today about it today, about the the dificulty of naming the past decade. The writter point of view was certainly interesting, she argued that mankind, and quite possibly very much including her, have surrounded ourselves with electronic devices, who can leave home for travel without the cellphone, i-pod, PDA, and list goes on. I particularly liked this phrase:

"And then, where would we be? Far less unique in all likelihood. And uncomfortably aware that the self is formed more by the connection to others than to a portable media device." by Helen Razer in Sydney Morning Herald

So among my new year resolutions are:
- Write more often in the blog!!
- Keep all the eletronic devices close to me, but keep in mind that social interaction is what trully defines who we are :)

Happy 2010
