Reality and G+

My online life started in 1999, from few minutes of research and infotainment to now hours and hours of status updates and check-ins.

I guess, I spend 50% of my life and 75% of my waking hours in cyberspace. The cyberspace now is my new reality. Before, I used to spend much of my time reading books, utilizing much of my waking hours in exploring the different world constructed by creative authors. Now, I spend them in cyberspace, in the world with overload of information.

I belong to the generation of the future. My mind always looks forward to something new, something that will send us to space something that will put us a virtual reality, beyond our tangible world.

Just few days ago, I had a chit chat with a good friend. I told her that I missed the days when we were still in college, spending much of our time reading books, coffee-klatsch, and discoursing on different philosophical and scientific views. But, her reply made me realize that I am now in a different reality. We can’t do the things we did before. Things have changed. Time has changed. And all I need to do is to admit and face that my reality now has changed.

Now, I have a new playground in cyberspace, Google+ (plus), new social media site, like Facebook. I am happy to be one of the First Generation users. It has promising features and I think it will be a good competition to Facebook. Let’s see what will give us in the coming years.

Here’s how it looks:

And here’s the cheat sheet on how to work around G+.

My life now will be spent more online.

The problem is, how will these online venues improve my whole state of being? How will I get rich, or will it provide me lifetime stability?

I hope one of these days this new reality will give me more leverage, more productive endeavours that will feed my dream and ambitions.

I hope that this new reality will put me in the place where I should be, a place where immortal dwells.

Gen is right. I just need to acknowledge my new reality and move on with my life.
