Our urge to Connect

Something just got to me today, I've finally figured it out... the gist of mankind. We are all stuck here on this Earth with erm.. a life to live, yea... we are born babies, grow up, go through teenage hood, then adulthood, den grow old den ... leave this world still figuring out what it is all about. Hey... I found that answer for you =P I think we all have an urge to feel connected, else it is just gonna be a lonely journey.

That is why outlets like Coffee Bean and Starbucks is so successful today. I reckon not because of their coffee but they found out the secret to our urges.



We just love to hear the next hottest gossip or seat around playing MSN in public and not wasting the chance of sighting some leng luis (chicks) sitting next table doing the same thing.

That is also why we sent letter... ok ok... we used to. Now we have Hotmail, Gmail (G for Gay) and DunnoWetherFemaleOrMail.



Then we have the phone of course, can't 'Kow Lui' (court girls) without it...

Phonecalls too expensive? Well, then SMS. Save money and quite effective when you are in the disco and you're lying to your 'somebody' that you're at home sleeping *kekeke*...



Then we have all kind of peer-to-peer programs to keep us connected while we are at the office and when we can't sleep like IRC (don't tell me you're still using it), ICQ, AIM and MSN.



Oh yah...how can I forget. Some might find it troublesome to call or text or mail each other all the time. So we humans have created Peer-to-peer sites that keep profiles of each and everyone of us 'connectees' so that we know each other from the things we love to do til the underwear we wore yesterday. We have Friendster lah, Multiply, Hi-5 and also now Facebook. And also blogs if these aren't detailed enough. Blog such as this one is of course awesome lah! You just need my blog lah trust me... super connection. =P



But then again, why are we going to discos and pubs? They are way too noisy to communicate and connect. They don't offer internet connection nor enable us to talk on the phone. *scratches head*

And yet I cannot get enough of it..



I wonder why ...



What are we trying to connect? *kekeke*
