Love and Technology

Love and technology? How will that work? Easy. Just the amount of SMS sent through Globe and Smart on this day will bring and bridge together people and lovers near or far from each other.

Last Tuesday, during a Media Training Program we held with our client, EMC Philippines, we were discussing the amount of data (or information) that is shared (or greeted) between mobile phone users.

Some say, more test messages are sent during Christmas? Others say, more during Valentine’s Day? So, which day is it?

Bu definitely, with the big splash of text messages that go through the networks’ data center on Christmas Day or Valentine’s Day, technology will play a role in “handling” these millions of text messages, so we don’t get to read “Network failure” in our mobile phone screens.

Someone said, during Christmas, people send generic Xmas messages, while on Valentine’s day, we send dedicated messages. And non-Christians don’t sent Xmas messages.

The idea of flash drive technology comes into the picture. When I first heard or read about it, I thought it was related to thumb drives or flash drives. But I was wrong.

Wait, I will send first my Valentine’s greeting to my wife, before the network gets clogged.
