Welcome to what I call the 'Cyber - Age' , when literally everything happens over the Internet.You can catch up with those friends you haven't seen in a long time. Over here you can download those songs that won't stop playing in your head. Please don't forget to fill in your Cyber Identity Cards(a.k.a Facebook profile , myspace page etc). Right now we are being ruled over by Facebook.com , I am sure you have heard about it. Your friends are waiting for you online . If you have any questions about anything in life ,don't ask me instead go to www.google.com. Facebook , Twitter , Orkut etc are our means of communication. Gone were the days when we called people using our telephones and cellphones now we summon them online! We have a lifestyle online! Though some people may not like the 'Cyber Revolution' or the reign of social networking websites, I love it! "Farewell my good friend I hope to see you online everyday!" , these days even if our friends move away to other countries thanks to the great social networking websites we can talk to them everyday , so its really not like they left. Sometimes we learn a lot about people from their 'Cyber Identity Card'(a.k.a their facebook profile). From personal experience I am more connected with my friends over facebook than on phone or in person , I don't feel that's a bad thing its pretty fun in fact. All this definitely makes me wonder what the next big thing is? What website is going to knock off facebook from its throne? Will Internet be extinct one day because a more fun and advanced alternative has been found? Only time can answer my questions.
you need an editor !
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to watch your fascination with the cyberworld bubble forth.
ReplyDeleteThe bit about catching up with old friends really got me. In fact I relocated your dad (one of the best things to happen in my life) through the Net.
Yet the way you people (read 'pillaar' - ask your dad to translate it!) get hooked on the web in all its avatars- Orkut, Facebook or whatever - is unsettling.
I remember a CP Snow quote from my undergraduate days: "Habits should be a stick to walk with, not a crutch to lean on".
I think the same logic should apply to the Net. It's a fascinating world. Yet we need to be wary of the traps it hides.
Wish you all the best!!
Thank you very much for comments and thank you for following me. Well yes the internet does have a lot of disadvantages and hidden traps as you said but I choose to use it wisely and not focus on that side of it.
