FGH is the new ABC...

It's Sunday morning and the first 3 things I did are Facebook, Gmail and Hotmail!

Eureka! It's the same every morning. Thank God, at least, I brush my teeth before I pick up my computer, walk over to the kitchen, set it up on top of my water filter (out of harm's way) and even before I have made myself that first cup of coffee, I am done with my new ABC...

Reports from reliable sources tell me that some people don't even do that. They wake up, pull out their smart phones from under their pillow (because they used it as their alarm device), do the new ABC and only then get to their morning routine. And most of them have their phones on them all day, so it's ABC all the way...

I do this everyday, so why this sudden realization this morning and the need to blog about it? One of my dear cousins who lives in Miami delivered her first born late night on Friday and I knew about it on Saturday morning when I did my A: Facebook! What's more? My cousin was on Facebook all day because she was responding to all the best wishes she was getting.

I was totally impressed. I was happy that she was feeling good enough to be up and doing Facebook from her smart phone. I even joked with her if she had introduced Facebook to her little one? But seriously, that remains a distinct probability right? Think about it. This morning, my father, who is close to 70 and not Facebook savvy was asking me if my cousin had posted pictures of the baby on Facebook!!!

You got to give it to Zuckerberg. Creating "The Next Thing" is one thing but changing life's fundamentals is quite another. Honestly, I don't think Zuckerberg really knew that this would happen. I don't think anyone knows what more can happen?

But as of 830 AM on Sunday 5 June 2011, I can sure say, move over ABC, it's generation FGH...

Have a great Sunday everyone...
