Internet and Me

Everyone knows what a boon the internet has been over the past two decades in Europe and about past 10 years in India.

It started for me first by creating my first email way back when may be when i was i 4 standard,

then started playing chess on the computer with a dial up connection

Then when i was in eight standard i remember seeing a cd writer a big one if you know what i mean it was the size of a small oven costing 8k which my friend had bought and he used to charge about 50 bugs for burning a single disc.

Playing games like roadrash, watching movies and games like quake faint memories remind me of windows 95........

from those days slowly the net has changed everything the advent of youtube, facebook, orkut,

and now farmville etc(world's most popular internet game)

i nowadays rather spend a whole evening infront of my computer rather than hanging out with my freinds or playing. This is how it has changed our lives, while people claim it to be a boon for killing time when nothing else to do we instead become addicted to it and keep ourselves away from all social activities. Once when i could not harvest my virtual strawberries on time it pissed me off i fought with my sister and kept a long face whole of the evening this is the extent to which it has affected our daily life.

verdict being as long as it remains entertainment well and good, the minute it becomes addiction it turns daily life mundane and stressful.

Let's not enter the virtual world let us use the virtual world to our use, saying all this i think of those farmers who really loose the crops do to floods etc spare some thought youngistanis it is time to wake up and help the real rather than the virtual

chalo see you'll will be back for more
