The New Idiot Box !!
With the just over weekend, I realized I am addicted. Addicted to this thing which is called The Internet or more commonly Net. Well how did l realize? For the whole of the weekend, my Internet connection was not working. I felt like I was paralyzed. Not following the normal routine of anything I do, it felt like the whole concept of weekend was taken away from me and I was left alone on my own. The power of having knowledge, answers to trivial questions at the click of the button or for me, the press of an actual button. I just hope, my friends today would be able to restore the connection today and will give me back the company of that Thing.
For a person like me, who spends almost 14-16 hrs a day online, it was like taking away a part of my life. Could Internet be the future Idiot Box. Can I be the more advanced form of the couch potato. The term which is used for referring a person who spends his time sitting on a couch and watching the Idiot Box (a.k.a. the television). This thought has lingered on me for a long time, could Internet be the future Idiot Box, where we just sit in front and do idle surfing, without any purpose ?? Yeah, right. Internet gives us access to tons of amount of information which is available. But so did TV in its earlier days. That was the same argument.
