Missed Connection

I was think­ing in addi­tion to the myspace pro­file embroi­deries I am cur­rently work­ing on, that maybe I might also embroi­der some ‘missed con­nec­tions’. I think it is a funny idea and really adds another ele­ment to this whole project. I’m inter­ested in com­ment­ing on how we use the inter­net as a life aid. I still remem­ber a time before cell phones, now I feel like I can’t func­tion with­out email. When you really think about it though, with myspace, face­book, flickr, aim, online dat­ing forums, text mes­sages, mak­ing a real life con­nec­tion or even encounter has changed because of the way we use tech­nol­ogy now. I too am a fan of face­book, text mes­sag­ing, google every­thing and all those other tools in the inter­we­bu­lar world, how­ever I must con­fess that I still pre­fer hand writ­ten let­ters sent by the USPS, I still make a phone call when I want to make plans and I still love pho­toal­bums even more than flickr. Call me old fash­ioned. I hope to have some new embroi­deries of this nature to show soon.
