Is the Internet answer to all our queries?
The world has changed. This has been possible because of thousands of new inventions and the reliability to use them efficiently. But one inventions has changes the entire perspective of the Human race … it’s the Internet.
It started as a communication tool in the US Army more than two decades ago. The popularity of Internet is spellbound. Everything these days is ‘Online’. But my question is … Is it reliable? Isn’t it make us lazy? Are we loosing our true senses?
Many of us may not even have seen their personal bank’s because all the features are made available online. We just sit on a chair all day long and perform our daily activities. Are we doing something else in the time we are saving (walking to the bank) ? Yes, may be and we call it socializing or may be something else but that too ‘Online’ .
Many of us don’t even touch the cloth’s we purchase on the Internet or smell the perfume we are buying online. Don’t you think we are slowing becoming slaves of the Internet.
The Internet has bought entire universe on your screen… right from Banks, Malls, Books, etc etc to Worshiping Your Favourite God’s Online, Travelling entire globe without even keep your feet on the ground, etc etc.
No doubt it has made life easier but in a way. It has also made us lazy and given us chair-centric lives. I guess in years to come our spinal cord would be L-shaped rather than being straight. What will we do the day its not there? What’s the future of it is unknown. But we can minimize the risks involved. So please go out see this beautiful world, talk to people face to face, feel the rain on your cheeks.
Yesterday’s newspaper had a interesting article. 2 sisters in Australia had fallen into the drainage system. Instead of calling the police they updated there Facebook status. The were luck as some of their friends where online who informed the police instead. These gurls were only 10 or 12.
