40 years back the US defense administration had setup a system to connect a few computers and perhaps no one knew at that moment that this small matchstick was going to ignite such a big bomb – the internet.

Today internet is the answer to everything. Just by chance when I was talking to my sister today, the fourtieth birthday of internet, she was talking about one of her friend’s incidents in her school. One of the teachers asked her what a computer is. She described computer as a machine which could solve ‘problems’. Then the teacher using the simplicity and the extent of generalisation in her answer asked her if computer could solve the problem of him being unmarried. She could not reply then but was just saying that mentioning about connecting to internet and trying in shaadi.com could have helped that poor fellow ;) .
We always have a new technology to embrace as we get up every morning and internet has a long way to go and of course never to stop. From studies to songs, videos, friends, business, shopping, dating and marriage, internet will be available soon for you to solve your more-personal-problems.
When we are talking about solving problems we should also be careful about how internet can create problems for us. While surfing in the internet we should always be cautious enough not to get lost somewhere in the tides…
