A wizard with a “magic wand” can fulfill his wishes.
Aladdin with his wonderful magic lamp looked for a beautiful princess and his wish was
fulfilled by rubbing his Magic lamp.
Cindrella found her wonderful prince by means of her golden shoe.
Internet is more or less modern equivalent of magic lamp.
The difference is “you have to rub the lamp” and “you have to click the mouse” for the
miracle to happen.
*You can get your “beautiful princess” not by rubbing but by clicking your magic
mouse.
There are many agents who make matches with your specifications for a very reasonable
fee.Two popular love-agents at present are www.loveHappens.com and
www.eHarmony.com.
Last Saturday, my eldest daughter and her husband attended a wedding reception.
The bride ( Cindrella) is a lovely and wealthy lady from Mandalay and the groom
(Golden prince) is a young handsome military officer from Pyin Oo Lwin.
They were matched by love-agent website www.loveHappens.com.
If you forget to specify age range, the agent may match you with 80 year-old lady or
gent! Your princess’s age may lie between 15-80 years !.
*With a click of a mouse , you can mail instantly hundreds of friends , relatives and even
strangers living thousands miles away at the speed of 186,000 miles per second and you
don’t have to worry whether your mail reach the receipients.Because you will be
informed instantly that your mail is sent successfully or delayed or your mail address is
wrong.If it is delayed because of information traffic jam, it will be delivered as soon as
traffic is light.
* If you are a businessperson ,you can do business with thousands of corporations at the
speed of light.
*You can purchase any commodity on line.
*You can talk light or serious at a reasonable cost ( about 500 kyats per hour)with a
friend who live housands of miles away( a former Electronic Engineering graduate of
DSTA studying in USSR).
*If you are an Electronic engineer or a physicist , you can get relevant information about
chips or diodes , transistors, integrated circuits, or whatever “hardwares”(2) or
“softwares”(3) or “firmwares”(4) of your interest from hundreds of sites with a few clicks
of mouse on relevant links.How many clicks you will have to make depend on your
experience on
” surfing”(5) the Web.
*If you’re a student intending to study abroad, you can contact thousands of Universities
all over the world with a few clicks of mouse.
In my opinion ,Internet is more or less modern equivalent of magic lamp.
Glossary
1.Internet
n. The worldwide collection of networks and gateways that use the TCP/IP suite of
protocols to communicate with one another. At the heart of the Internet is a backbone of
high-speed data communication lines between major nodes or host computers, consisting
of thousands of commercial, government, educational, and other computer systems, that
route data and messages. One or more Internet nodes can go off line without endangering
the Internet as a whole or causing communications on the Internet to stop, because no
single computer or network controls it. The genesis of the Internet was a decentralized
network called ARPANET created by the Department of Defense in 1969 to facilitate
communications in the event of a nuclear attack. Eventually other networks, including
BITNET, Usenet, UUCP, and NSFnet, were connected to ARPANET. Currently, the
Internet offers a range of services to users, such as FTP, e-mail, the World Wide Web,
Usenet news, Gopher, IRC, telnet, and others.
2.hardware
n. The physical components of a computer system, including any peripheral equipment
such as printers, modems, and mouse devices.
3.software
n. Computer programs; instructions that make hardware work. Two main types of
software are system software (operating systems), which controls the workings of the
computer, and applications, such as word processing programs, spreadsheets, and
databases, which perform the tasks for which people use computers. Two additional
categories, which are neither system nor application software but contain elements of
both, are network software, which enables groups of computers to communicate, and
language software, which provides programmers with the tools they need to write
programs. In addition to these task-based categories, several types of software are
described based on their method of distribution. These include packaged software
(canned programs), sold primarily through retail outlets; freeware and public domain
software, which are distributed free of charge; shareware, which is also distributed free of
charge, although users are requested to pay a small registration fee for continued use of
the program; and vaporware, software that is announced by a company or individuals but
either never makes it to market or is very late. Your spouse age may lie between 15-80
years !
4.firmware. Software routines stored in read-only memory (ROM). Unlike random access
memory (RAM), read-only memory stays intact even in the absence of electrical power.
Startup routines and low-level input/output instructions are stored in firmware. It falls
between software and hardware in terms of ease of modification.
5.surf
vb. To browse among collections of information on the Internet, in newsgroups, in
Gopherspace, and especially on the World Wide Web. As in channel surfing while
watching television, users ride the wave of what interests them, jumping from topic to
topic or from one Internet site to another. Also called cruise

How 20 years of the web has reshaped our lives

How 20 years of the web has reshaped our lives

The great levelling?

The wonder and walls of Wikipedia; the blogger media revolution; who really has power on the web? Is it the online crowd or the 'gatekeepers'

Enemy of the state?
As the web transcends the barriers of the physical world the orthodox view is that the nation state will inevitably wither as a porous web of hyperlinks conquers the globe.

The cost of free

Free service, limitless information, endless opportunity for the user... the web seems to defy all the laws of economics. But are we all aware of how much we are trading our privacy for a free web?

Homo interneticus?

Are we empowered, connected and enlightened with the worlds knowledge our finger tips? Is the web really changing us- the way we think, behave, and relate to each other.
