With the acceleration of mobile technology within the last few years, we’re now living in an increasingly mobile society. This blog is about this lifestyle, being able to create a ‘local’ sense of connection within your daily life, anywhere you go. Through mobile phones, remote TV, social media tools like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, we can now remain connected and in touch with anyone, anywhere, anytime, as if we were almost sitting next to them.

The first time this started to occur was in the mid 90’s where young travelers were able to take their IRC and chatrooms with them. So one could get on a plane, and 24 hours later, in another country, login and still see and chat with the same people as  you did in the other location. This style of local/global connected-ness was very exciting and liberating to the travel set and the people who enjoyed not being tied down to a particular cubicle or desk.

Now we’re in a second generation where not only are the tools more sophisticated, but there’s much more acceptence in local/global. Companies are encouraging telecommuting, and the age where computers are supposed to increase our quality of life just might be coming afterall.
