The day of the media

Today I had decided that I did not need to go to work and I could finish more things from home...I should have known better than to trust myself on that. However one of the iteresting things that occured was that a new Pope was elected. However what was even more intersting is how I managed to find abou it.

There I was minding my own business checking my emails when a friend of mine from Bombay shows up on chat and says:

hey there is white smoke they have elected a pope

Now its a simple line but when I thought about it a person in India is telling me in America about an event that happened just seconds ago in Italy if that is not a victory for media and communication then I guess nothing else can be counted as that.

So off I ran to the TV and see the live pictures of the Pope being introduced to the world for the first time...a process that happened after 26 years...
