GoogleCard - The future of communications

Computers, the World Wide Web and demi-gods like Yahoo, Google have expedited the rate of change that mankind has had to deal with more than most people acknowledge or are even aware of. Our habits and life-styles, egged on by these developments, are changing rapidly without us even knowing about them.

The once ubiquitous post-office and paper-mails are an endangered speices now. Our next generation will see artifacts like stamps on some fossil plate in a museum ;).

Voice chats, Webcams have whittled geographical distances away to just a matter of a few clicks.

But, this post is not to extol the generous blessings of the .Com age. It is my take on what the biggest leap in technology for the coming century is going to be. Am going to write that in the form of an ad concept. So, here goes...

"A web-chat is no substitute for that live, chirpy voice of your sister on the telephone call from home.
A faceless voice on the telephone is no match for the human presence and warm touch of your beloved over a cup of coffee.

The only thing technology can't do is be human.
For everything else, there's
Google ;) "
