In the stone ages, people would communicate through drawings. In the present age (even through this digital age) tribes in Africa would dance and play drums. But, hey we are in the digital world where I will only communicate through my Blackberry Messenger alias BBM. Once upon a time I would say "I will talk to you on Aol" but every three years there is a new way or multiple ways to communication. It went from Aol chat, to webchat, to Msn Messenger, then to Yahoo, but these programs where limited to the computer screens. This guy is my Dawg! Mike Lazaridis the founder of Blackberry, which is the first invention of the smart phone has taken over the British economy; because 70 million Brits have one. At the University of Bedfordshire of which I attend, it is no longer about asking for a girls number, it is about her BBM! There is no offline or unavailable button but a PING! Everytime I am asked for my number I start to tell people I have a Nokia or on Orange. I was in America for two months and my BBM didn't work, I wanted to cry. Every chance I got to use someone elses I begged for it. I had to go to the prehistoric ages and communicate through MSN or Skype (keeping it old school.) Blackberry Messenger has become a way of life and apart of the Digital Communication, without having a fancy job. I simply have no excuse to miss my homework deadline, without this 19" screen laptop but just my 3" screen AriBlackBari (that's what I call it). I just pinged my mum to tell her I am going to wash the dishes! Oooh got a PING! she said 'NOW!' |
