The beauty of connectedness
A number of different circumstances have recently come together to make me realise the beauty in feeling connected.
I’ve re-established connections with a lot of old friends in the last few years through various social networking sites but I’m talking about a different type of connectedness. There is something very satisfying about having everything together and working well.
I’ve just updated my broadband connection to allow me to now have a wireless connection on all three floors of my house. The provider’s support service in India were wonderful and patiently helped me connect all four different computers in the house; two Macs and two different flavours of Windows.
On each machine I was then able to link my feed readers to share the same feeds through NewsGator and FeedDemon. Each machine was linked up to my cinema screen monitors perfectly. My email system has at last been able to send and my smartphone now syncs with everything but the bath….
….somehow I now feel more complete. All I have really done is remove the barriers to me seamlessly doing what I want to do online; wherever I want to do it, whenever I want to do it. Who’d have thought that the power of ‘connectedness’ would be so beautiful?
