The new TV ad of SMART got me thinking, that whether we like it or not, the internet and other channels of communication is an integral part of today’s life.

Of course, a break from technology once in a while is great, but to be able to live more, we really have to embrace being connected 24/7.

In my case, being connected via the internet has literally enabled me to get on with my life.

With my accident in 2010, I’m not exactly the most mobile person at the moment (I’m working on it!)

I don’t get to go out as much as I want anymore because I tire easily. (And I haven’t gotten the courage to get back behind the wheel to drive.)

I don’t even get to go to the mall much for my usual Thursday shopping (*sob*), and I can’t even take a job that’s not work from home. (So many opportunities I had to turn down, believe me.)

I miss a lot of night outs with my friends, too. Unlike before when I used to go out every weekend.

But with the internet, I’m able to shop online. I am able to earn money by working from home, and I get to catch up with people and the world via Facebook, Twitter, email and WhatsApp.

Of course, face-to-face interaction is still the best form of interaction, but I’m very thankful that I am able to “live more” because of the internet.

In a world where every second counts, count on the biggest network to provide you reliable connections so you can take care of the important things. Stop waiting, start living. Live More.

Definitely have to agree with SMART’s new campaign! I cannot imagine living life with crappy internet and connections. Can you?
