A Balanced Harbour View
Aah I have awoken to another glorious sunny day, proceeded to make my way into work, a building, and finally office.
It hardly seems fair or the right thing to do.
I can see out of huge windows and do look out across the city and harbour which is hardly something that anyone could complain about, and I am not, for I do realise that there are those who are in offices surrounded by walls, without windows, city views, and harbours.
Seeing though is tempting.
Here we are immersed in new communications technologies which are flash and capable, yet there are still limits.
I still know people who use their mobile to send text messages, make calls, and put the alarm clock manufacturers of the world out of business, waking themselves up every morning.
Their mobiles could plan their day, allow them to access the mobile internet, and make video calls to their friends, but the education, the laziness, and in some cases the infrastructure to back them up on these amazing pursuits, is making for a mobile device that is in most cases hardly utilised.
It is amusing, that people simply have to have all the bells and whistles, but yet then never use them, and or never know how to use them.
And then there are people like me, who are trying to coordinate and hook up all of the available technology so that we can communicate and work, making use of the technologies, to not only look out over the harbour from an office space, but to hopefully get out on to the harbour, and leave the ‘office’ space behind.
Although, I am not sure how much work would get done out on the harbour… I guess it’s all a balance
