The internet....

well i dont really want to talk about the internet in general. but obviously, you are reading my thoughts through the internet too. strangely enough, the internet started being used in Malaysia massively when i was about form 2 or form 3. so that's about 1996-1997 or so. Thus i think the Us has started using them maybe about two three years previous, maybe earlier, and ever since, the internet business and communication and all the yadda yadda hass been growing so rapidly.

i dont know about other people, but it seems that internet now is one part of a person important essential. in one day, you'd be facing the laptop, connecting to the internet, chatting, browsing, downloading, at least once. at least once in a day. especially in a US college, an email, which is part of the internet connection, is essential. you cant go on a holiday just one day and not think about how many emails that you'd be getting by the time you come back from the holidays. maybe 4, maybe 5, maybe 15, maybe 100. and maybe out of that 100, only 20 is an email that is really for you, and the rest is just junk. and from that 20, maybe about 15 is just some yahoogroups, or some blaa group that you're signed up to, that you dont really intend to read because you know about 95% of the email your group sent is usually just BS. thus out of the 100, could be only 5 emails that you really really read and get concerned about it. but why did you worry for a one week holiday about emails? flooded? excess email? i dont even know what i'm talking about.

damn internet. sucking our daily life from everything. first maybe during the 60's or the 70's it used to be the movies or panggun wayang bergambar as allahyarham p ramlee stated it. and then during the 80's and 90's especially, with the invention of cable, tv became very essential for as we malaysian say, "Berita terkini, hiburan sensasi". now in the 21st century, our life has been exploited by technology without us even noticing about it. yes i read about myn's writing how technology could evolve our grand grand grand grand and so on children into mindless beings with big bobbing heads and large goolgy eyes, and trying to take over the world!! well another world at least. and i agree with that.

back then when i was a kid i used to run around and communicate with others face to face. playing fox and hound, or malaysian terms "kejar2" or sabah terms "bubut2". it was great having to communicate that way. i communicate with REAL people, and get REAL bruises, and get REAL friends. now its different, the kids could be communicating with UNREAL people from the UNREAL online tournament game, and get UNREAL bruises, and UNREAL friends that could be just michael jackson and his fetishes if cute innocent young boys and claiming he is a white 12 year old girl looking for a "buddy" that is fun, loving, and would prefer to sleep on a large creepy mansion with, god knows "toys" in his neverland where you'd have the best "fun" in your life.

of course i wont deny the benefits of using the internet, you can talk to a long lost friend, talk to family who live half a world away, cheat on your boyfriend, and then break up with him at the same method (rather than talking on the phone or using stupid post it notes, of course i got this from sex n the city), or look for a job, or communicating with professors, finding out if school is open today or other blaa and yadda and etc stuff that you know you yourself can elaborate.

cant we just organize ourselves without using the internet or email and just leave notes anymore? yupp... i dont think its plausible anymore. its not impossible though. can we reduce our internet use, and study without having our desktops or laptop on and having being distracted by those long lost friends, or long lost monkey, or family half a world away, or ex bf's coming up to you saying "hi, just poppin by, to say hi, how you doing" and then in he end, being end up chatting and laughing and thus forgetting your loads of work that is actually due tomorrow, or about 30 mins from now. why is it so hard?

well, thus i proved myself, how disorganization and lack of discipline of using the internet could cause you just being way off from what your schedule is planning to be, because i have work dua about 1 hr from now, and yet i'm still typing. yes ladies ad gentlemen. i'm still typing. still am. there i go again. why am i not stopping. yes, disorganization and lack of discipline of using the internet. could we organize ourselves and just block our view from this internet thing that is just completely sucking our whole life into it. and maybe one day when technology rule the world, people would start to wonder if Neo would actually going to drop by and save them from the matrix, the AI that took us away from all the treasures that He gave us. And amazingly ladies and gentlemen, i am STILL typing, and now my work due time is lesst than an hour.

thus feeling so disorganized and lack of discipline, i think i really do should stop this crappy thing and start worrying about my chemical process control and dynamics...... haha. there i go again, still typing....

to be concluded <-- my ass to be conluded, bodoh nyer matrix 2....
