Has it ever happened to you that you are on a comfy chair in your room watching a scenic rainy day from your window juggling between Gmail, Reader, Facebook, Twitter, Quora (and all that) on your browser and a sudden wave of introspection hits leaving you wondering about everything and - how the fudge did I get here? (No! No! not to The Comfy Chair! in my room- I am talking about the whole internet footprint thingy).
Just a decade back internet was this vague thing where your elder cousin goes to meet random girls from across the globe pretending to be Chiranjeevi (now, if you had to click on the hyperlink to know who that dude is? I say – go die, you lucky bustard!).
But, as you spend a little more time around this series of tubes they call internet, creeped out by this virtual world where so called brazillian girls think fat dudes with thick mustaches are cute (don't ask me how, I just happen to know - that's all!); you realize that internet is a completely different world – where people go to watch brilliantly photoshopped naked pictures of famous people. I still remember the day, years later, when I tried my hands on softwares like photoshop and probably had the most weird epiphany of my life (ah! The day I lost my innocence)
What has it turned into now? - almost everything. What has happened to those long waits for web pages to load up? Every mobile device now has zillion times faster internet and there are now political scams based on it. I mean what happened to those ultra cool days of conceptualizing scams on anti-aircraft autocannon weapons?
