Human beings are social animals. We want to connect and interact with eachother, we crave for it and when we find a new method, we grab it with both hands! I mean, take a look at the technologies that connected us throughout the history! The biggest one was a “wheel”! Yep, Transportation is a mechanism to connect us all, then we have Communication “pigeons”! and so on. Between a wheel and pigeon, we now have cars, trains, automobiles, Internet, printed media, Pubs (yep a great connector indeed) the list goes on. The point is connectedness is an insatiable hunger for us humans.

And now we have Internet!

Yay, yay, yay!

It connects us in a way we could only dream of. But pls don’t be fooled, it ain’t enough! Until everyone connects to everyone 24/7 we won’t rest. Even then, we won’t be satisfied. But hang on a minute… a Wheel, I understand how it gets me from one place to the other, a Pigeon, ok sometimes they get lost, but they get to where I want them to. When I get onto a train, I know where its going to take me (apart from one occassion i got the wrong train ), these things that connects us are physical things that I have a means to trust.

But how about Internet?
