When was the last time you used your mind to do a simple calculation ?  OR

When was the last time, you looked-up a dictionary ?  OR

When was the last time you looked up the encyclopedia ?

Let me be honest ...... I don't remember !

Internet has taken the best of us. We don't do anything the human way, using our mind and registering something for later recall. Sometimes, when you think of it, the fact haunts you that we have become so much dependent on the technology that we refuse to even try giving some tough time to our minds. And probably just the way a machine starts getting rusty when not in use, our minds have also become rusty to the extent that when we try to recall something, they refuse any cooperation, whatsoever.

I remember, I use to remember every telephone number that I had dialed twice. But now, I don't remember the telephone or mobile numbers of any of my close friends, except for 4 or 5 may be. But I am not bothered, because I have them all saved on my mobile number, just a couple of keys away. But hey...wait a sec.....what if my mobile gets stolen on a gun point (quite common in Pakistan now) or gets dead for whatever reason (can't really rely on technology you know). Bhoooom...all gone. No more contacts, no more friends, unless someone tries calling me.

But yes, I would still not (or should I say I JUST CANNOT) get myself off this Internet now. I am hooked. Because it is so convenient. Why remember all this ? Why use your brain, as long as we have a DELL Notebook and a WorldCall connection.

Haaa, just crap. I don't know why I am even writing all this stuff....but sometimes I do curse all this technology that we have become a slave of. Do you think about this sometimes may be ??
