internet blues

When I first heard about internet I thought this is can at best be remembered as a mere technical innovation.But with the prices of the computers falling down globally people started buying computers just like buying a TV or a washing machine more as a status symbol or economic prosperity than necessity.It ts only after the content that was increasingly made available for free on internet that caught the attention of the people at least in developing countries like India.
I never knew that internet could one day make the user addicted to it and to such an extent.With the convergence of media and utility applications all put at one place the world is already linked in a cloud instead of wires.There is good news and bad news.Good news is that internet enbabled people with cheaper and affordable communication services,multimedia,news and weather updates and advertisements the bad news is that there are always bad guys who see to it that the civilized world is troubled in one way or the other like hacking,putting internet to bad use like sponsoring and aiding and abetting terrorism,pervesions etc which has a devastating effects on younger generation.No other innovation in the world has become as popular as internet and made this big world a small place to live.
