Nocturnal Poïesis

you know when you are trying to run up an inclined plane, you look up and see that you have a long way to go? You also look down and realise that you have come a long way. The internet is changing the way we live and now it is changing the way I thought i would earn my money.

The internet is viral, is actually an understatement and I am understanding it quite slowly but surely. To begin to imagine the scale of the internet is almost impossible for me. And they all run on content. Some for content or the other. The internet essentially sells information on most part and online accessible services is just a part of it. The major idea is information.

Well, yeah, duh! That has been really the bleeding obvious with people calling it the age of information and with booms (and bubbles) in an area called Information Technology. But sometimes when you stop taking it for granted and start thinking about it, it is really, really, ree hee hee heally big. And that is just the start of it.

Anyway, once you are up on that inclined plane, it is kinda interesting when you look forward and look back, you see a lot of people but when you look around, do not see to many people. May be because the top levels and lower levels are common to a lot of people but people climb their own inclined planes. So we do not communicate much.

But when you look really really hard, you see endless such inclined planes around you and you see people climbing them. They all lead to them same places up and down. But then you look at these people, you focus in on them, you realise that they are people of all ages. Some in their teens, some in close to their death beds, but they are al climbing. I wonder, does it start looking like a mirage when you are that age?

When do people really start? When do we grow up? When do we really die?
