it never ceases to amaze me how many people actually read my little house of horror that i call my blog here. the other day i got an email from a complete stranger telling me that they like reading my commentary on the world of politics as i see it and they tune in to friskyRadio all the time. that really touched me and made me start to wonder how much the internet has really changed the world. strangers are no longer strangers. almost 400 unique persons a day checked out friskyGeek.com last month alone! it really does’nt matter that this particular person happened to be in Australia. when it comes to the internet, there are literally no borders and distances.

i have been fortunate to have grown up with the internet but i am old enough to remember a time without the www (world wide web) and the series of interconnected computer networks known as the Internet. I remember having to go to gopher to find something that i needed for a research paper or something. what a pain that used to be! those kids that are growing up in this Internet age will never realise what a marvel the Internet really is, and may not truely appreciate it.

I cant wait for when the networks are fast and reliable enough that anyone and everyone can truely be connected all the time. Internet Map technology to guide you home in your Internet-connected car, listening to friskyRadio streamed to your Harmon Kardon sound system in your 2008 M3. You can already log on and access Broadband Internet on Luftansa Airlines flights. So its not that far into the future! I personally cant wait for it!!! It will be awesome to be able to tune into to friskyRadio on my wireless Internet capable iPod for those commutes when I take the tube to work!!! Its coming. Not to far away now… Maybe in 4 years…
