The show must go on: SMS from Gmail to keep the umbilical cord anywhere, anytime

Gmail added another “much-needed” feature we all were starving to see:
How often do you try to chat with somebody and they don’t respond because they just walked away from their computer? Or maybe you’re in the middle of chatting with them just as they need to leave. But you still need to tell them something – something really important like you’ve moved, where you’re meeting…or ice cream! We need ice cream! This is why we built a way to chat with your friends even when they’re away from their computers. Now you can keep the conversations going with a new Labs feature that lets you send SMS text messages right from Gmail. It combines the best parts of IM and texting: you chat from the comfort of your computer, and your friends can peck out replies on their little keyboards.
This will be a panacea for anxious people who can’t detach themselves from the people whom they chat with and need to keep the umbilical cord always connected. It will also be a nightmare for people who still think that you can go to the toilet and indulge in free-roaming philosophical thoughts stimulated by the movements deep inside the body instead of by Google search.
Of course, people can block or stop the SMS messages at any time, but the silence of becoming isolated from the Net could become too eerie to bear. The pressures of the unknown neglected inner self asking for attention will probably be pacified again with some gadget connected to the big mama-net with its sweet bytes flowing down reminding us that we aren’t isolated anymore.
good;) ormai si sta affermando in tutto x tutto come leader gestore-email.
