Culture ... us.......


Today with the e-culture and e-generation who believes in the power of e-mails, networking groups, chats and of course blogs; but I believe somewhere down the line we have lost the essence of communication ... the fun that was in the life of college... the sense of belonging the the 'gang'... the time-pass in taking people's cases on their faces...


In the instantaneousness of chats ... is lost the deliberation...
In the digitization of feelings ... is lost the intent ....
In the whiff of the e-mail... is lost the anticipation ...
In the invention of blogs ... is lost the openness...
In the cuteness of the smilies ... is lost the giggling sound
In the connectivity of internet ... is lost closeness of a friend...
In the clutter of the keyboard... are lost the strokes of the hand...
In our virtual identities ... is lost the uniqueness of our selves...


Sometime in the past I became a part and parcel of the e-culture...
A culture that believes in the display of sophistication and hiding errr... i mean.... channelizing the feelings ...
A culture that believes in burying our true selves in some server at an obscure location on the planet....
and
A culture that believes in showing our real mask-less face to people you have never met....

Is this the progress and culture we strive for????
