I believe our professor was right on when speaking about how we live in a pervasive community. That is why this lecture has been one of the most interesting lectures thus far; we are all well ware of the importance of new communication technologies. The revolution of digital instant messaging along with other technologies has made a huge dent in our everyday lives. There is almost no reason not to either not get a hold of someone or send an important message. Having these technologies keeps all sorts of different groups or organizations connected. I wonder how the 2.6 billion cell phone subscribers would react if all networking signals went down. I'm sure there would be radical problems amongst everyone who puts in use these technologies.

This is so true. There are so many technologies that make it possible to contact someone throughout the day. You could always be old fashioned by calling someone or writing someone, but nowadays I am texting people much more than I am actually calling people. You could also email someone, or try and chat with them on the internet, or you could contact them through any internet organization such a Facebook or Myspace. It almost seems like if you are trying to avoid someone it is almost impossible because there are numerous for them to try and get a hold of you!
