hi everybody and welcome back to another week of “Just A Girl..”! this week we chatted with FC of Fighting for Futures, an all around awesome person and fellow blogger on this here wonderful Bloom Blog.
with a degree in Audio Engineering and Music Production, as well having spent almost 10 years cutting her teethe in the New York City music scene, FC is currently out of the country with Fighting for Futures, traveling to Cambodia and all over Asia to offer free photo and music classes to children. and as the Foreign Correspondent for Initiative Radio, photography, videographer and woman, I wanted to touch base with FC to get her perspective on how she feels about the difference in technology.
me: Being in a developing country right now in your travels, how do feel technology is having an impact on the established way of life?
FC: I have a limited time to get the same amount of work done. Often videos and pictures take upwards of 1-5 hours to upload, if your lucky. Phone communication is here, however you usually have to try the call 2-3 times before it will go through, texting is also unreliable. Basically lack of technology brings my productivity to a snail like pace.
me: What are some of your fav sites either for business or social networking?
FC: I am a twitter and facebook kinda girl.
me: How much time on average do you spend online per day?
FC: 2-3 hours if I can, sometimes the internet is just down and you get no time. Its all a roll of the dice here.
me: it’s been said that technologically speaking, the world is flat so what do you envision for global networking and technology?
FC: Im not sure the computer will not matter as much as it does now, I think the future will hold instant transportation and flying. There will be no need for email when you can just beam on over.
I feel you! it bugs me out to think of where we’ll be in 5 years, 10 years or more. as recently as yesterday, some of you Facebook people may have noticed that now you can link your Facebook to different sites to share. which, ok, yeah, we’ve been able to do that for a long time but it is getting more streamlined, more efficient at being “connected”. how “connected” are you? leave us a comment and let us know!
in the meantime, keep checking back here to stay up on the travels of Fighting for Futures and Felecia Cruz, as they make their way across Asia teaching art to children.
and I’ll be back next week! stay up stay strong stay positive!
