Bonjour C'est la Police!

In an age where it is so easy to fire off an email, one really appreciates the effort taken to send snail mail. Even a short line can evoke memories that a lengthy email could never accomplish. Last week's issue of The Economist carried a special report on wireless technology and how it purports to change the way we live or perhaps is already changing the way we live. Apart from the technological issues, the report also touched on the accompanying social problems such as a deterioration of inter personal relations. The irony of this is that as we become more connected we grow increasingly insular. I suspect the transition from Homo Sapien to Homo Mobilis will not be a smooth one.
