Vancouver Canada. I do not follow it; it follows me 24/7 Online.

Vancouver Canada. I do not follow it; it follows me 24/7 Online.





I am standing on the platform of a "Sky Train" that is heading for Vancouver. The railroad is about two storages high above ground. Yes, it’s laterally in the ski. These Sky trains have no drivers; they are controlled by a remote control station somewhere. A scary thought, they are cyberspace controlled online. Scary, yes a scary thought a run-away-train-without-a-driver. The train arrived, yes without a driver.



Who is around me?

I found a seat, I notice the man sitting opposite me was working on his laptop I was wondering if he was working on his online business. The young girl beside him was surfing the internet on her IPhone. A voice over the speakers announced the next station, I was wondering if it was a tape or a CD plying. More people climb on board. I noticed a lady reading her book on a NotePad, another person was deeply involved on her Ipad, at least 3 other people were on Smart Phones that was hooked up to a Blue Tooth device. A young Asian boy was listening to his Ipod, he was in his own world. The world around me was a different world than what I was used to in Africa during the 50’s and 60’s.



All these devices on the Ski Train reminded me of our own children who goes online most of their time at home these days. I asked myself, "are we living more in cyberspace than on earth". I realize that this "article" will typed and soon be broadcasted online for anyone to read around the world. Statistics show that 1000s of new online businesses start every month and billions of Dollars will be generated. I read an article that said this "Cyberspace" trend will continue because this is just the beginning of a new era.



Where do I fit into all this?

I felt privileged that my own home-based business has been running online for more than a year and it is well established. The excitement of knowing that I can connect with people around the world and to get to know me, hopefully to like me and eventually to trust me as a well established my own name-brand that is operating online.



The sky train came to a stop, I packed up my briefcase and left the platform while the man was still on his laptop. The youngsters are still on their electronic devices. My thoughts lingered for a moment; maybe this man will come across my blog one day and read it, not even knowing that I included him in this article. Cyberspace, internet, remote controlled Sky trains all this amazes me how life can change in one lifetime.



I got off the Ski Train in downtown Vancouver, I asked myself, why is one of the richest men on earth so rich? Because Bill Gates made it possible to go online; the Internet became our friend and is changing the life of future generations. Desktops, Laptops, Notepads, Smart phones, Cell Phones, the list goes on - I do not follow it anymore; it follows me 24/7



My parents are turning in their graves.

I am sure my parents would have wondered how all this came about in such a short period of time. They both passed away before the word "online" had a different meaning (laundry online is different than cyberspace online and a "blue tooth had a different meaning).



What is the youth going to do in future?

The Internet became my friend; I made many friends in the process. I search and I obtain, I seek and I find, I have the biggest library in the world and it’s interactive. Finally our TV viewing time has been limited to see the weather and headline news only, the rest is online. Our youth of today is moving away from TV’s, Radio’s Newspapers, Magazines. Hi-Fi’s have been replaced by Ipod’s, DVD players are going out of style, it’s not for the youth anymore. What is happening is everything going into Cyberspace?
