I was having a think about these new sites that have sprung up allowing you to have your only little bit of cyber space. Myspace is a very popular one so I hear and another one is Univillage. Just for those studenty types that we all hear about but don't see much of. I'm not going to berate them in any way as I was a student for a short while, but now I'm old its very hard to tolerate them. Anyway I digress.
So I thought that I would take a gander at some of these and I did last night. Well lets just say it was an eye opener what and especially who was on there. I found all sorts of people and was amazed at how many celebs and so called celebs had myspace spaces (is that the way to describe them?). I found people I knew and many I didn't, but I really started to think how things have changed.
I mean a while ago if you wanted your own little bit of cyber space then you either had to be a whizz at websites, or a friend who had a book (thanks Curiosityness) or made do with a MSN ot Yahoo profile, or a Gaydar profile (in my case). But that was it.
But lo and behold, everyone can now have this and make then as elaborate or simple as they like. Isn't technology great!!! How things have moved on and I don't know about anyone else but even the time I have had access to the Internet, about 6 years now, things have changed so much. Well look we have Broadband now, and only £14.99 from Tiscali. I should say so...
But you couldn't get that even a few year s ago. Broadband was for the richer out of us and was costing £25 upwards. Now its very cheap. So technology moves on. And you don't even need wires anymore, or even be at home, you can connect on a train or even in the loo if they have Wifi, fantastic. I can have a dump and chat to my friends all at the same time, isn't life wonderful.
What will be next? I mean I sit here and type this blog out, not very well I have to add, I do have fingers that are most definitely not connected to my brain at the moment and write what they like, but another 6 years from now, will I be typing this, or just talking out loud. What about a further 6 years again, will I even have to talk, or will a computer be able to read my thoughts and put those down on the blog. Who knows...
And what will become of the humble little blog. Well we didn't have them a few year back and now, look everyone has one, even me. What will be next. Full scale websites for all, and only for a few clicks of the mouse. Myspace and Univillage will go global, even Universal. Could be an exciting time, or it could all implode in a big puff of smoke.
Say one thing, catch me in 12 years time and I will give you the answer to that...
