"Well, his skype status says he is in office and this is his office isn't it"? grumbled T-. "Last time I checked it was, indeed", said I.
"Well, he must be in quantum mechanical world then", T- seemed to be rather satisfied with his apt, geeky sarcasm. "He can actually be present beside his pool at home and in his office at the same time"!
While the two of us were sharing a good laugh at M-'s (and possibly Heisenberg's) expense, the man in demand returned.
"Hey M-, which state are you in right now? wave or particle?" I asked ( How could I let this opportune moment go!).
"Since we couldn't explain your iCloud status with you enjoying the lovely spring afternoon by your poolside garden in any classical way, we resorted to quantum mechanics", came T- to rescue.
Well, you know what, it was M-'s turn to be geeky this time (let's face it, he is perhaps the smartest among the lot, anyway!),
"you're missing a third state my dear colleagues, it's the 24th. floor, where I was in a meeting", smirked the Swede!
While all three of us cherished a hearty laugh I couldn't help thinking about the virtual-real multi dimensional existance of Modern Times.
We are always connecetd but never reachable; our status is for the whole world to view yet we're unsure about our next moves;we've thousands of buddies to chat with and none to talk to....
The list could go on longer, but my mood (or my emicon?) has already changed from LOL to grumpy!
There are already thousands of physically dead users in facebook, some of them being posthomously exploited by internet fraudsters while the others' virtual immortality just hurt their near and dear ones.
It's multiple-schezophrenic soceity.
