Day 3 Mumbai 26/09/2012
Hey Bloggies,
The other day i was watching the Oscar Nominated David Fincher film, 'The Social Network', For an umpteenth time. I can never get Enough From watching that Film. I can relate as well as understand the dynamics of this new world of online social media!! Mark Zuckerberg was a Genius to sort his energies of a failed relationship and a breakup, into something so extra-ordinary as 'Facebook. If each of of us could do this, i imagine how this world would have been??
This world today is shrinking at a pace of a tornado, everything we have, we want, or we wish to have is on the web.Its a crazy world out there. No more can we sing those songs of , 'saath samundar paar' or crossing seven seas, when we can stay connected with anyone through this network of social media. I have been told to write a number of Articles relating to how social media has transformed our lives, or how it is bad for us, or how it is bad for real journalism!! and i have always said this time and again, that its a revolution, for Mankind, in every way, how can we imagine our lives, if we don't log on 'Facebook"..every day at least once? How are we supposed to know the breaking news stuff , if it doesn't float around the web?? Its a impossible Nightmare.. which we all will have to attend rehabs to overcome..!! Still Remember the day my mother started sitting on Facebook, that was the day i realized , that its all over... and Face palmed myself. Our generation still has a long way to go when it comes to getting completely Tec savvy, which we have become, yet we belong to the 90's when, entertainment was still going in the playgrounds and sweating it out..!!! watching tv meant only Cartoon Network, our only source of entertainment.. and computers meant only to be learnt in that one hour a week basis in school hours.
Until it was all gone and our bedrooms, living rooms and now even travelling time were attacked with gadgets, computers laptop and now 'Smart Phones'.... phew! Its a sad state of affairs, when people prefer to hang out on Group chats on their respective messengers , than meeting out their in person. Relationships have become messages, phone calls and Skype, than going out their, holding hands in person and chatting away all the time. They say times have changed, every generation finds the coming ones to be lame, out-Landish and Hard to cope up with. AS they say, time doesn't stop for anybody, and so doesn't the Social network. I still remember those days when girls used to gossip amongst themselves in the college canteen about everything. Now they gossip about the pictures and the parties and the relationship status of their peers on Facebook. yet one has to accept these facts , and just move forward with time, that time is no far, when we would stop talking verbally sitting in the same homes and prefer texting one another, which has already begun..!!
This Social Network is a revolutionary change for the mankind, and so it needs to be utilized in a better way then just plain hooking up and breaking up shit..!! Well altough i am nagging about the web and yet using it to write this stuff..blah.. how ironic... signing off..
all the love
