I am a born pessimist,cynic and a sceptic.I dont know why,then again thats what makes me who I am.
The world wide web has come a long way since the time it was used to connect a few obscure computers for official purposes.Now,it has become brought everything to our fingertips.The answer to all our questions,the true information powerhouse.Apart from that it is now a source of entertainment and communication.It connects a lot of people around the world removing all political and geographical barriers.It is the blue print of the world all free-spirited humans dream of.It is the blueprint of a world I dream of.
As a born sceptic,I was always critical about the way the web connects people.You have online communities and chatrooms.You interact with people by voice or by typing words,but is it worth it?
You type words on your keyboard,the other person sees it.Thats it.Is this communication?
I found it hard to digest this concept.
But if you look at it from a different perspective,things change dramatically.You communicate through words,and the words that you choose are in essence the strongest,when it comes from your heart.I have made a lot of good friends online.Seemingly anonymous strangers who later became my really good friends.I love that about the web.Its power to connect.If you set aside the people who misuse it and the gullible who fall for it,the web is in essence a powerful weapon.It can connect people,it makes the world smaller.It allows you to get to know people whom you would otherwise never meet in your lifetime.
This post is dedicated to a person whom I think is a good friend of mine and also to another person, a fiery critic of my blog.You know who you are,I am lucky to have gotten to know you.....
