Changing world :)

The world is changing and some things that were unimaginable couple of years ago are now a reality. It is amazing how things transform and how people adapt to it. My parents just bought a computer and connected to the internet through cable and they have also a webcam. It was an interesting feeling to receive the first e-mail from my father and being called by my mom on skype. Both of them have no computer knowledge and they never used one before.

They got excited when at Christmas time the whole family had a video conference through the internet as we could not gather in the same country. Because we all live in different countries, they decided that they want one and from now on they want to use this method to keep in touch with us. It is funny that they now consider phone and old school thing when couple of years ago we could hardly convince them to get a mobile phone.

I know how many argument we had with our father to convince him that agriculture is not the future and that having cows and pigs is not the way to go. And now the same man instead of doing that kind of stuff is surfing the net and keeping in touch with people through e-mail. I really admire my parents for being so open at the end of the day to these things. They were always liberal in thinking even though in the same time they were extremely traditional. I am like that as well, extremely liberal in some matters and extremely old school boy in others.

Now we can conclude that if THEY have internet in a hidden city in the middle of Romania, then internet is now a commodity and a must have for everybody. It is just like food and clothing!!!
