"In spite of considerable talk about the "death of distance" and "the end of geography," computer technology appears to accentuate the importance of place, both physical and virtual."
From: "The World Wide Web and Contemporary Cultural Theory" Chapter: "Webs of Myth and Power" by Vincent Mosco (there are no page numbers to cite).
I hate to say that this describes my relationship with several friends. While email, blogs and photo-sharing brings us closer together, it emphasizes the physical distance between us. It's a very basic interpretation of what this means.
Lately I've been attempting to blog more but in shorter posts. It's not going so well. Maybe more short thoughts. I should see if I can text my blog or something, so if you see posts that look like this "toronto is gr8 i want 2 note here" you will surely understand why.
Using too many unsuitable adjectives as always,
yours truly,
Hana
