Wired wirelessly

Electricity has changed the world. It brought the industrial and technological age to this point but it is about to hand over its baton of influence to wireless information. We just got started because little portable computers just became the norm all linked by wireless signals.

"Wired" still means powered, connected and on a high. But it's nearly out of sync with reality. More and more work and play without wires on big or small portals of information.

But I feel wired today. Part of it is a buzz from exercise. Chatting and connecting with friends, family and God wirelessly or virtually but nonetheless powerfully and full of life. More so than being linked solely by schedules and obligation.

Ever since we could travel afar, life has been virtual as much as physical. The virtual ways of communicating are no less actual, real or meaningful than physical meetings. They complement each other. Because of the instantaneous links that are possible with our computers, we can have more meetings than before.

So art, friends, work, the world are all linked by a small portal we carry. If you can see that our relationships are as much in our mind as physical, then the virtual is actual and wireless is wired. It could all work together to make our face-to-face meetings mean even more. I'm wired wirelessly for this today.
