WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY, A PLACE WE ALL KNOW AS FAST PACED, HOWEVER, THERE IS SOMETHING NEW HAPPENING IN THE CITY WITH THE OVER-THE-TOP TECHNOLOGY. THERE IS ALSO A NEW CRAZE. FOR EXAMPLE, NOW INSTEAD OF SAYING OK, MANY PEOPLE HAVE SHORTENED THEIR WORDS, SO NOW IT IS PERECTLY OK TO JUST SAY THE LETTER K.
RECENTLY I WAS STROLLING DOWN THE STREET WALKING TOWARDS BROADWAY WHEN I NOTICED A TALL THIN MAN IN A GRAY SUIT WALKING A SHORT DISTANSE IN FRONT OF ME WHILE TALKING AND HOLDING HIS PHONE CLOSE TO HIS EAR. WITHOUT REALIZING IT, HE WAS HEADED FOR AN OPEN MANHOLE.
SUDDENLY, HE DISAPPEARED AND WITHIN SECONDS HE POPPED BACK UP WITH THE HELP OF TWO CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. I WAS QUITE STARTLED AS I LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID ARE YOU OK AND AS HE CONTINUED ON HIS PHONE CALL, HE TURNED HIS HEAD IN MY DIRECTION AND SAID OK, YES, K.
