Mobile Blogging 2 : This time it's personal

This is the second test of a mobile blogging system.
Blackberry transmitted Ahmad approved.


This seemed to have worked. I for one am impressed. To what degree I will employ this lovely feature of Blogger.com is an unknown, but that it works fairly well and rather easily is something of a boon on technology's part. Many are quick to denigrate the role of technology in making our lives interesting and entertaining. There are of course many, many downsides to technological progress. I think the disconnectedness that can occur when one spends too much time on the internet, the rapidly developing weapons of Mass Destruction, the reliance on technology to do the things that at one time people could do, maybe not as quickly or as accurately but added that touch of "magic" for a lack of a better word that made human constructed items "charactered" all represent the dangers or problems with technology. But Ipods are neat, Blogging though occasionally ridiculous-also fun. Blackberries and other mobile telecommunication devices are so useful it's scary. So perhaps like much else in life, technology is a mixed bag. But I think in the end, it comes down to how we use technology and not the other way around, yet!
