Synchronism

When thinking about the word synchronism, I think about the syncing process of my iPod while connecting to my MacBook. Synchronism, to sync and to make sure it matches with both parties (in this case the iPod and my MacBook).

In a more conceptual way that perhaps is less of the physical form, I think the way we interact in life with others create synchronism. Similar to my post before, about the way how I think a lot of us are "programmed" like. We are synced in the same ways, to study, get good grades, graduate and head into our career, then repeat process if job has not been found. We seem to get our of sync when we lose balance with life and studies, either or takes over and everything just becomes a chaos.

I often get a sort of synchronism with the world around me. My senses reassures that I am in the real world, in the same time, alive and well. Though there are times when I feel awfully out of sync. It happens when I stare at a screen for too long and suddenly when changing my view away from the screen everything just seems really far away. I honestly don't know what it is, whether it is more of a mental reaction that triggers such an image be seen and experienced through my eyes then to brain or really a hint that I have been spending too much time on my MacBook. It is the weirdest feeling, because when trying to grasp something that is actually really close, I feel even farther away from it.

The sync could be part of the sound and video. Where sound does not sync with the video, like watching a poorly uploaded video on YouTube or perhaps the videoart intentionally created the feel of non-synced narrative. The story rarely to no longer matches the video or sounds. There is an inconsistent flow of development in both video and sound that gives you the thought of whether everything is synchronized right.

Synchronism: the development of something that goes accordingly to the same universal scale or measurement whether it is sound/video, life/time, or senses/reality. All counts, all are inclusive, all syncs.
