berry me?

I do.

Today, I jumped into the ocean of swimming bbm messages; the globally known and corporation that has its HQ where I live. I now own a blackberry bold. And I love it. Yeah, I always said that full keyboard phones are for lazy people who don't want to learn T9 texting, but I was wrong. I admit it, I was always wrong. BBM is like MSN but hand held, I can get onto facebook from a tiny little button on the main screen. And the best thing of all? The cases come in every colour.

Mine is purple, and I have fallen deep and I am drowning in love with my hand held connection. I always have loved my phone, like every other adolescent, social-networking addicted teen out there. I have texted for half of my life, and the other half was spent a good long time on the computer slaving over MSN conversations and piczo websites. I'm not saying that all of this technology is bad, because in reality, we are learning to organize, make respectful conversations, and use language and media way earlier than the previous generation ever did. Needless to say, both of my parents also have blackberries and love them.

But its not just a generation thing, I believe that technology has brought the world closer together on, maybe not a more intimate level, with google breathing down our necks about their listings and facebook letting just anyone add anyone these days. But Things like these, these blogs. You are reading my thoughts, and I am letting you. This is something that can only remotely resemble the radio in an improv sense, and even there it is censored and commercialised. I believe that technology is making the world a better place, one blackberry at a time.

Let it be smiling messages first thing in the morning, or reminders about memories or photographs, or even just plain old conversation. Everyone loves to talk, and blackberries do nothing but let you communicate in your own personalized fashion. The twenty-first century is all about being yourself, blackberry is just another way of coming together, but being individual at the same time.

So regardless of you technology of choice let it be the computer, cell phone, or any other mico-driven device, I hope that you take a step back and look at what you're a part of. This is something that no one has ever been involved with before, and I hope you're not taking it for granted.

Until tomorrow,
