Host Janelle So interviews Lilledeshan Bose regarding use of social networking sites to raise awareness, disseminate news, and spur a global relief effort for victims of typhoon ‘Ondoy’ (Ketsana):

Defined, the online version of Merriam-Webster’s dictionary states:

Information superhighway: a telecommunications infrastructure or system (as of television, telephony, or computer networks) used for widespread and usually rapid access to information ; especially : internet – called also infobahn, information highway

function: noun

date: 1983

Twenty-six years later, I have come to the realization that the information superhighway is now embedded in every facet of our lives. Access to the information superhighway is not a luxury anymore – it exists as a framework to which we share and receive information with each other.

Here are my personal milestones from this year:

1. my mom and I had our first Facebook twitter exchange today
2. at my wedding this year, a photo during the wedding was published a few seconds later
3. updating my status from single to married involved a few keystrokes on the mobile phone
4. checking the balance on checking account can be done on the go: I can either call my bank and use their automated menu, or log in to their web site on my phone
5. I can play Street Fighter with other people online, and also talk to them in real time
6. I can drive around and receive audio notifications from my phone when there is a speed trap or camera-enforced stop light on an upcoming street intersection
7. I can apply for a credit card online, print out a confirmation e-mail that has my account number, and use it the same day at a retail store
8. I can create a calendar event, then share details of the event globally, including last-minute change notifications

Over the span of my lifetime, I should be able talk to my TV and say the word “buy”, then a product materializes inside my nano box, and thus completing a retail transaction from home. No transportation fees. No carbon emissions.

When I walk into my garage space, my vehicle will already have the motor running, seat and fasten a seatbelt over me  automatically, and will ask me where I want to go.

When I have a cat, the pet door of our home will automatically let her in, even when I am not around. The pet door can also sense if my cat wants to go out of the house, and will let her out whenever she wants.

Another year, another wrinkle. LOL!

I’m glad you have the day off for yourself… you can do whatever you want today, maybe have lunch with your mom, or meet with old friends! Im sure your dentist appt will only last an hour or so (or less!)

Remember that each year holds a promise of great things. i feel like im off to a great start myself (Viet-Cambodian trip, Big Eheads concert, Baguio events, PAL negotiations, upcoming Nancy Drool album launch, etc). The reason I am looking forward to each day is because every done day means another day closer to you

MARCH 30, here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
