who am I?

It has become a routine nowadays for me to come to the office, sit and chat with my classmates on the message board. And I have even gone a step further by chatting using mails with friends who don’t have access to internet but only company email service. If this is what is going to be corporate life, I will definitely put on lots of weight and I might forget things like sports, games etc. Even if I have some work to do, I’m glued to the internet.
Internet has made communication so easy, now I can talk to my friends in Singapore using a voice chat software, chat with my friends who are in US, keep myself updated about the happenings in my alma mater. Now I cannot imagine a life without internet or cell phone. Cell phone once a luxury item has become a toy in everybody’s hand. Mobile phones have made life easier at the same time it had made life tougher. Yes I’m in contact with my parents, my sister who is in her hostel, even my grandma who is in a village. I speak to all of them daily thanks to the price wars among the cell phone operators which led to drastic fall in STD call rates. My mom calls me daily in the morning to ask me whether I had my breakfast or not, and I utter the same lie " Yeah I had dosa" and of course she knows that am lying and so ends the phone conversation with a long lecture on good eating, bathing and other such habits. My dad once got senti when I had forgot to take my cell phone with me to the office and he happened to make lots of calls to me that particular day. The next morning when he did get hold of me "He said u call me only when u need money". But I was always like that when I did not have a cell I used to call him only when I needed money. Maybe as a son I have got to do more than just calling my father when I need money!
What I am trying to say here is how communication revolutions have totally changed ones life - everybody knows where you are, you are never out of your parent’s radar vision. But I feel that as I get closer and closer to my friends and family, I am going farther and farther from myself. Do I know myself?? I m so engrossed when I work and when I use internet the whole universe is in my grips but I'm losing grip of myself. I have no time for myself, no privacy, no loneliness. I'm a machine who types hundreds of messages in an hour for my friends, I’m just a sleepy son for my parents, I’m just a busy brother for my sister but do they know the real me?? No, if I know nothing about myself then how will someone else know about me???
I am not saying what i'm saying! Communication improvements have led to so much competition so people now have to work harder to earn their living. An equity trader can no more make money as he used to in 80s, now everybody has access to information, every tom, dick and harry knows everything. Because of all this communication shit i have to work harder to keep myself in the race. Competition has got out of proportions.
