Networking through the internet

What a privillege to network with others through the internet. I was able to get an email address of a former school mate. It was 23 years ago that I meet this young man, now working in Port Moresby.

I sent an email and he replied and he told me to keep in touch. Just this morning I was able to find an email address of a journalism lecturer that I had never written to or met after I graduated 22 years ago.

Then few days ago someone invited me to join facebook. It was a former student of mine. I had no idea but as I pressed the buttons I was able to see many former residents now living overseas.

What a way to meet with others. Even through the Digicel I was able to contact my folks at home. My daughter who is 9 years old knows so much about mobile. At her age I never held a mobile phone, played computer games or sent emails. She is so lucky to be growing up in an electronic age.

You can encourage people online and through email. It is so quick and easy and it makes wonder how people walked from place to another or wrote letters which took days and months.

That's all for now.

Cheers.
