Sniff, Sniff...

This sounds hypercynical but I smell something...
They say the world is getting smaller. Chat with anyone across the world for free and as much u wish. Discover old frnds and be in touch by scrapping each other on the n number of social-networking sites. Even the good old phone call is not that expensive to keep you away from calling someone as far flung off as Alaska.

But what is it ultimately leading to...
If you look at the bigger picture, WE ARE BEING CONFINED. 'Coz the easier it is for one to be in touch virtually, the lesser effort one would make to be in touch in reality. Its easier to be away & still be in touch, the emphasis clearly being on the first part.

No, this is not the usual rant about technology revolution & stuff, such innovations have been healthy. Some may argue that a simialr argument can be applied when the printing press would have been invented. It would have stopped the one-on-one oral communication between people at that time. By that logic, even this blog comes in the same category. But I am talking about more personal communcaition between people and not some kinda knowledge transfer stuff or talking to oneself (which translates to being equivalent of blogging in this age).

Guess, the MATRIX has been taking shape slowly & quitely but surely.
But even the MATRIX says, everything is a matter of choice, its upto you to choose the red or the green pill...DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!
