Though, I was extolling the virtues of the fountain pen, the other day, I was by no means against its rival, the "NOTEBOOK".
Technological advancement has made the world into a global village. Communication is just a button away. Just a click, and the screen lights up buzzing with so many snippets of information. A plethora of knowledge is available to the average student, layman, businessman at his ready beckoning. The home maker is thrilled at the prospect of finding free recipes on the net rather than spend a fortune on recipe books. Children can learn tables and grammar in a play way from educational cd’s rather than the boring and black and white text books.
In a saturated world, where space is such a constraint, a whole array of encyclopedia can be stored in a compact rectangular briefcase, not to mention photographs, medical records, and other documents. The pen has been replaced by the pen drive.
In a fast moving world, where time is a precious commodity, the cumbersome task of writing and receiving letters and the delay in between can be saved by the instantaneous e-mail. And now, we have gone a step further and the briefcase has given way to the pencil box, the new kid on the block-the blackberry.
The most awaited box of the day is the in box.
Long lost friends can get in touch and new friends found. Its a great way to share one’s thoughts with the world and invite comments. And it makes possible for me to do what I’m doing now!!

Ciao and keep in touch,

Yours, gingerly treading lesser known waters of media communication,
