What invention are you grateful for?
The invention that stands out is both blessing and curse: the
internet.
It has allowed us to connect to anyone in the world, even relatives
in my parent’s village whose names I didn’t previously know.
Information is at our fingertips for almost any subject or problem.
It is an equaliser in some ways in that anyone can carve a space
for themselves and make their voice known.
At the same time there is the negative side of being too connected
and never offline, chatting to people, but missing face to face interactions. Time
wasting and overwhelm also come to mind. And we can’t forget the faceless, cowardly
trolls that hide behind their keyboard and in some case spread false
information.
So the invention I am grateful for is the internet, for the
opportunity to connect with sisters across the world, learn, be informed and
entertained and share my experience. But that comes with a disclaimer to use it
in moderation and not believe everything I read.
