Blogging seems to be the "IN" things these days. Left, right, all around I hear people talk about blogging. Though quite aware of the 'verb', I never felt inclined to blog myself until today. So here I am, blogging at a time when ideally I should have done what most people do at this time - sleep (Aha!!).
Sure it is a good way of communicating with people, getting to know people on the web, letting oneself be visible to others, sharing information.
Sometimes I do wonder how information technology has transformed the way this globe works. Forget the more scientific stuff, just the day to day life of an average man has changed drastically. The time about 25 odd years back, when the only means of information used to be the good old morning newspaper and the daily news bulletin that used to be broadcasted once or maybe at most twice a day. Live news was available only from 30-40 odd people that we met in a day.
This age, the morning newspaper has almost become passe, being replaced with portals that publish information as they happen at any time of the day at any place on the globe.
The advent of IT has opened up a whole new world, where the people one can interact with is no longer restricted to one's neighbourhood, rather the whole world has become one small neighbourhood.
The IT has brought us to this stage. The most interesting thing to ponder over is where will it take us next. I know there are a lot many predictions about what IT will do for us in the future. But as always, IT always surpasses one's expectations & predictions.
Maybe by the time somebody reads this, we might already have a new "verb" similar to ones like 'google', 'stumble', 'blog', etc.
Cheers!!!
