A day without Internet



Internet is the technology and in simplest term network of networks. It is very simple technology made up of computers and cables which are connected. Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf are the one who created this technology.

It was their logical way of finding that how could one can send around “packets” of information to another network. The basic functionality of Internet is to just send chunk of information around the network which is called as Packets. We have more and more programs that now a days using Internet as a core technology such as email, file transfer, chat etc.

Another big revolution in the field of Computers was done by Berners-Lee’s alone. He designed the World Wide Web. It was Lee’s invention which boomed the connectivity around the world.

Now, People are doing business in Internet, from pornography to yoga coaching, YouTube-“Broad Cast Yourself” to Facebook, every body is using it, every time, any time and every where. Nokia-“Connecting People” which is sole organization which generates more revenue and handles one single country to Microsoft-“Your Potential Our passion”, where you can find “information at your finger tips”.

Biggest company does not become big in one day they become big by doing smaller things in different ways. The whole idea of is that we are addicted to Internet so much that we cannot be asked to imagine a day without it.

One day I was walking back from University to Home, I was walking alone talking with my self. I realized that what will happen if we do not have Internet for a day, then for months and may be for a whole entire future.

Again, many experts will prove me wrong, but can we prove wrong to Natural disaster? Why not some one could predict it before Tsunami came? Or why could not some one even thought about it? The point is just imagine a day without it.

A day without most useful, innovative, creative, informative and reliable technology today which goes down for a day, think!

Defect in Coffee Vending machine !

Well, This a new discovery- a discovery made when me and some of my friends were yesterday evening doing one assignment. One of my friend asked to have a coffee, so we went to a coffee machine to take coffee. Unfortunately we did not easily found the change or rather coin amount of some 50 Euro Cents. My friend found a Nepali coin of 1Rs. I asked him why not to put that coin instead and see if the value of that coin will give us some coffee. I do not know why I asked that question to him but I did. My friend without any hesitation put the 1 Rs. Nepali coin in the coffee vending machine. We suddenly were socked and surprised by what we saw in the display of that machine. It showed the Nepali 1Rs coin equals to 10 European Cents. I was really amused by all this. Wow, People who invented this lacked one thing. How can this happen ? If anyone will put the iron with the some weight and of equal dimension, then it is going to give you some coffee. Well, nothing can be perfect. Machine are generally made by us so it is our defect. The People who think they are best in technological advancement should think again on the defect it has got. They should think that people from east are not great technologically advance but they are not too bad as well. There can never be perfect solution until and unless it is tested with patience. Once there was a professor who was very proud of the vending machine he was happy and proud that it exists every corner in railway station to university to cinema hall to streets, now Mr. Professor there is defect in your vending machine. Do check it. If possible correct the errors. If not leave it just like that- this is just a coffee my dear.The weakness in technological development will cause Oshama bin Laden's men to easily drop another attack in USA, soon. One should test the system very carefully before letting public to use it. Better luck next time Mr. Professor. Hope you solve the error !
