As I sit in bed writing this, I am texting/whatsapp-ing friends all over the globe and it hit me how fortunate I am to have access to the technology that allows me to do that. Imagine a couple of years back where our phones could only text and call and that was expensive to do. Now, we have Whatsapp, Viber, Skype, FaceTime, etc., to keep in touch and all of this is free.
Never did I think that I would be able to talk/text my friends from Switzerland, USA, India, New Zealand, etc., all at once and at no cost.
Since technology has developed, we take it for granted, never once thinking that “what if” we didn’t have all this. I wouldn’t know if my friends were drunk at 3am, or that they were thinking of purchasing a dress, or what they were having for dinner at that exact moment.
So think, and appreciate all the people that have put in the hard work so that we are able to make the world a smaller place.

P.S. To the one person that is probably reading this. Or not. I will be in Malaysia for the next couple of days, so I shall update when I am back :)
