Information and Affection, The Dangerous Duo

The greatest differentiator of humans and our triumph as the alpha species on the planet has been our increasing ability to record and share our collective knowledge and information. We are living in a kind of universe where information is begin to be counted into the list of the fundamental requirements of a human being. Sometimes the situation seems me as we are dipped into a pool of information at our throat. When I saw the daily startups growing in the different corner of the world, I found one thing common to all, that's most of the startups tend to process this information and present as a beautiful gift to their customers rather than a raw. From wikipedia to wikileaks everybody is ready to do the job for you. You just need to know the exact URL and that's it, rest is on them.

I came to know facebook is using users' private information , wikileaks is continuously threatening world and lots more, but what scares me a lot about information is it's non static nature. Information has no boundaries at all so as the form. We sleep in a kind of world and wake up in an another kind of world. You never know how many new apps have been created mean while. For the code you were searching a night before, has been baked till morning. Apple launching a new i-product daily may seem to be cool but it's not that cool, atleast for persons like me who have to think twice to change their two year old cellphone just because the newer version is little slim :-) . Thanks to these information vending machines, who process all the raw material so nicely that we even can't say how far we have traveled in time. Was this the Time-travelling concept ?

Now when I say the rapid changing form of information, I would like to say the rapid change of information riding on the shoulders of those before to reach further. This is still interesting. No doubt generation is thriving information rapidly, but how much information has reinvented their own wheel, that's important and this scares me too because today we are doing better and faster but ultimately where we have reached it's difficult to say. It is said that globalization in India is one of the main reasons why there is irregularities in money distribution to different class of people. Some how I find the same situation with information across the globe and it scares me about the future.

There is an another thing which seems me as a better half of information, that is affection. I realized how even affection can be dangerous to us, while I was watching the movie Kung Fu Panda. Conditions are not much different in our surroundings The affection of parents towards their children, sometimes make them no more than a dump. It's been such a long time experiencing this so called 'affection', specially in India you will never feel recess about this. This really scares me when I relate this to information because information has a pace and affection as a speed breaker, either slow down your car or be ready for accidents. Affection can be related to anyone. The affection of a father towards his daughter, the affection of a girl towards her boyfriend or of boy towards his girlfriend, a nostalgic affection for youth, affection to money and even someone says an intensive affection towards your startup is equally dangerous.

At the end of this post I would like to say Information and Affection, these are the two most dangerous vital things we'll need to survive in future, only a better rhythmic and balanced ride can get us reach to the ultimate destination.

Cheers !!

Didn't know to don't know

Life is all about you can never predict the next moment. You are just made to say "I just didn't know it will happen to me." We think about future in present and about past in future. Somewhere this is worth doing so otherwise it's really hard survive in this world. From the very first day we learn to stand on our feet or I should rather say we learn how to speak or write, we are said to tell about our future plans.

I remember one instance of my childhood when I was asked the same question by my school teacher. perhaps that time I even didn't know what actually she meant by 'future', but as I said till that time I knew how to speak so anyhow I managed to answer her question and told her my next weekend plans. she just passed me a smile. I too. :)

It actually happens lots of time with us too. We generally tend to ask our younger relatives the same question, sometime we surprise them asking this sort of question and mostly they, answering us about their 'future plans'. Really rightly said future is unpredictable.
Childhood is all about inventions. We do some sorts of inventions and when we find a sophisticate working on the same principle we made by paper or other household thing we reach to the apex where we feel us from another universe and here we start weaving our future.

This never changes by the age what change is the method of working. This time first we investigate then invent so that we can save our time. But it's not thumb rule when you work for finding loop holes. One most common phrase 'Oh I didn't know it exist' changes to 'I don't know whether it will exist or not'. But I don't think there is any problem with both the phrases because both the phrases are made after work and that's commendable. It's a beautiful journey we enjoyed working on our ideas, our thoughts learned by our mistakes by others mistake. What matters is your work, your efforts that will certainly pay you.
I am still enjoying this journey, tasting the sea food at each island I am crossing.
Hope I'll see the land soon. :)

Google,China and lots of hacks !!!

Hi friends !!

From past few days Google vs China war has been the limelight of every news paper, blog and even technical sites. The famous claim by google that it has been attacked and not only google but also twenty other large companies from worldwide been targeted whereas China's response over this that it was itself been attacked.

From China point of view if we see its censorship is known to everyone. Filtering google.cn result as Chinese government rules is from 2006 when google.cn search engines started in China. China supports this arguing google spreads pornography and citing their "social responsibilities" towards nation but reality is known to everyone.

Google still adamant over its decision to pull out of china. There are two sides to debate over this matter as where one appreciating google's decision on other hand other one justifying this as Google done this because it never been a popular search engine in giant C. It's Baidu which is more popular than google. Data itself dipicts this-

But all n all God knows what's the reality. Google is superior but it should also known not in communist states. In the era of free net google's this step can be applauded but with China it's really a matter of consideration. Google's threat to pull out of China has ignited debate among Chinese people, divided between a thirst for free-flowing information and nationalist rancour against foreign criticism. Thus in China also google's this step somewhere is been applauded.

From the point of technology it's a dark side of this dispute. As being a reputed search engine Google should consider this matter seriously where as China 'the technocracy' should be commanded over these type of acts and be assure not to be happened again. :)

Best Regards !!
