The need to be connected

Technology could be a boon or bane nowadays. Most of my kakis, whether school mates, work or golf are on BB nowadays. In fact, the most non tech savvy among us were the first to embark on the BB platform. The reason? Email & BBM.

BBM is a way BB users could keep in touch with others. Coupled with the fact that its riding on the BB plan and no setup needed except to know the PIN's, it has proved as an effective way to communicate. Coordinating event among kakis are easily done. Everyone can be in touch virtually from anuwhere in the world.

But it do have an ugly side to it. At our last TT, almost everyone was glued to their BB even though all are them are seated next to each other. The real reason to meet up was to get together physically, yet some communication were done through BBM. Maybe something covert, I don't know.

So what would be the best solution? Maybe time will tell.
