The Power at Our Finger Tips

We always take advantage of the fact that there is much power at out finger tips. It is called a keyboard. It takes different shapes and different sizes. Technology of its different designs can truly amaze a person when you look at it. It has keys representing numbers and letters that makes up words and different codes. It appears mostly on PCs and mobile phones.

Unleashed. That is what we can call this device made of different buttons and keys. It has such great power and utility and we do use it almost everyday--at least to those people who are quite dependent on one. Admittedly, I am one of them.

As an individual with such dependency on modern technology, communication devices such as computers and mobile phones are perhaps the best technology ever invented. AND, I am not even referring to the top of the line designs. A Nokia 3210 or a Pentium II CPU would have done wonders. Well, they did wonders, which lead to the kind of technology we conveniently have at the palm of our hands.

Recently, my mom opened an over-dinner question. Someone asked in her office, what was the thing you would miss the most when the electricity dies due to unforeseen predicaments? Many answered TV, mobile phones, radio [drama], and the AC. My, oh, my. I am a geek for I answered the PC is my life. Not only do I work online, but my sanity depends on it, too. Writing and Photoshop-ing is my best stress relievers. My life practically depends on it. @__@

When the electricity is there, we use these gadgets and what nots to our hearts desires, thinking later of the possible reflection to our monthly bills. When it is taken away due to natural disasters or even [knock on wood] terrorist induced, we feel like there is something lacking. Our means of communication to everyone else in the world is taken away as easy as it was handed to us by producers and marketeers.

There is much power in a keyboard for we look for it when it is momentarily taken away from us. We strive to talk with someone, even unconsciously for some. We have the inner dream to share what we think, hence the outburst of blogs and personal websites, group text messages and email blasts. We join online communities and egroups. We share messages far and wide. AND we don't even know we have that much power.

What power is this?

It is not just to share or inform others of what is new with you or even the latest trends you enjoy. This power is commonly called INFLUENCE.
