The Medium is the Message

When QPHS Class 68 published two magazines covering extensive coverage of the life and times of classmates, there were so many photos and articles which did not get printed due to space limitations.

The third magazine is planned to come out as a photo essay instead of TIME style and PEOPLE magazine style of feature writing, but the price of printing a colored pictorial for a magazine has gone up to a six digit thousands of pesos.

The cyberspace is an alternative to time-consuming printed material. But lo and behold, majority of our classmates do not have e-mail yet and have no access to the internet during our 30th year reunion in May 1998.   There is a wide gap between the so called 'digital divide', i.e., between the technological haves and have not among us.

Lately, the interest to join the information highway has picked up among us. Many classmates are now in the threshold of virtually paperless communication exchanging e-mail greetings and pictures of several celebrations.

Also the presence of cyber cafe areas in Lucena with internet access for a fee of 30 pesos proved to be very handy especially those who want to have a glimpse of the myriad of opportunities internet can provide.

Information highway has therefore finally breathed more life and verve to class 68's humdrum being.
