I am also hosting a wiki page at my house. You don't have to register to edit it. But more of an interesting note is that my computer at home can talk. I made a web page where you can send me a message and I will here it from my computer. This may get annoying after a while but I thought it would be fun to be able to make my computer talk from anywhere in the world. Let's just call it a technological home experiment for me to hear people's messages. All messages are kept and everyone can see the messages people send me. Try it out!
It is very easy now for technology to allow us to communicate with each other. However, the population is booming and it is now becoming impossible to stand out among over 6 billion people in this world. The theory that there are at most six degrees of separation between you and someone else in this world emphasizes the connectedness of our communication with other people. However, our attention to other people is limited. We are connected the 6 billion other people but our attention is only to a select few. I am not the best example of someone mindful of other people but I have, up to a point, realized that we have to be aware of our communication with others and the impact it can have, not only immediately to them, but to the whole of humanity. There is a lot of anger in a lot of people's speech. This kind of speech is not thought out, and the impact it has is not acknowledged. There is no knowing how your angry speech may have a subtle ripple on the people you said it to, and the people they know, and the people they know. Of course our network of relationships is cyclic. So there may be some truth to the phrase "What goes around comes around". So please send me a message. You can make my computer say the angry things you would say to someone else. The difference here is, I would have no idea who it came from. More importantly you can let it be an opportunity to practice good speech.
