Not all the days are meant to be beautiful n sunny...looking back at the 365 days in the previous year...no one can sing-"we had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun"(in the typical Westlife style!!)...if life would be that simple...the very concepts of joy, happiness, sadness, etc would cease to exist...cos all these concepts are so subjective...they are the relative comparisons of the state of minds of two persons(either a real or a virtual one) in more than one situation...sittin here in front of the computer i may dream...that am so unfortunate to have taken birth as elvin and not as bill gates..as he has so many hi-tech gadgets...but i would be happy if i compare myself with someone from a village in India where a Nokia 1100 is a sign of prosperity and heights of sophistication...decades back when TV was frst shown to some...they tried to catch the objects in them...cos they thought that they were real...n things could not exist in an electronic world...sometime later they came to understand that things cant be touched...that the tv screen is a boundary between them and the virtual world..if someone that time would say that you couls actually use the screens other than the purpose of viewing..you would have been mocked at and would have been termed as some one who hasnt kkept himself "abreast of the latest technology"...but touch screens did the exact opposite of what the "self proclaimed technology gurus" said...
How does technology manage to surprise us every time...well the answer is simple...every time a technology updates itself..we tend to assume that its the pinnacle of success for the scientists as nothing can cross the barriers that this particular technology has set...but when its outdated by any other technology, the we are surprised again...this surprise actually forces us to consider it to be the end of the evolution of that technology...but that doesnt happen..as we must be knowing so well..
When the Wright Bros said they could fly..the question was-really??
When planes cross shorts distances...the question was-really??
When planes went transcontinental...the question was-really??
When the crossed the sound barrier..the question was-really??
But surprise...all of these things did happen...n they are so common now that if you ask them if they feel strange about these things happening here..they would term you crazy to ask such a question...fuuny rite..well those people are funny alright!!!
