Tripping down the memory lane

Remember back in the days when computer was a box set up on a table and the world was set outside the box .

Do you recall the first time you've used the internet ? & what are the memories after .

Sitting in a cubicle making charts with a better choice of font was never really anyone's goal of life . I'm talking of a time we grew out of , that's not really hundreds of years away but seems like the changes that have come are more than most of history could fathom.

The first time I came across the internet was in a cafe nearby , where I went and asked the person sitting to find me pictures I need cutouts of for my english project work. Remember those days when it used to take up a ridiculous amount of time and energy to decorate the headlines on the chart paper ? I remember lot of things from those days , probably the most complicated thing for me to understand back then was why would Nobita go through the trouble giyan and suniyo causes him everyday ! Why doesn't he involves his parents and get past with it once and for all . I managed myself into thinking probably that's because it's a show , so for fiction's sake. Nobody can beat up a weakling and just get away with it .

Only now that I know they weren't kidding. Everyone has a giyan in there life ! Even giyan does .

Lost track again !

So , where was I ? Internet . Internet for the first year was all Google searches for me . Strictly educational !

In the years coming up came facebook . Having internet on phones was such a big deal . Now , if you think about it we waited minutes for a picture to upload , it took longer than ever for the pages to load and none could fathom watching videos on the net . But we were then , more than we are now !

Imagine for one day if you had to live on 2G ! Urgh, it'll be a mental breakdown in the first hour . We had friends, real ones who knew everything and dissing the time wasted on surfing the net was a new phenomenon.

Never had we ever felt numb at heart . Not knowing how to deal with bad breakups was rare and we damned the ones who'd use cuss words in front of us !

Hell , I thought I'll never pick up smoking . It's filthy , and causes cancer ! I bet you did too. You at some point in life must have thought you aren't capable of doing something you're now alright with.

We thought not sleeping all night would be cool and fast forward now , we've had countless sleepless nights ! Point being , what do we do with all the fuck ups we thought were never gonna happen .

What about the ones not yet done ? Thinking straight , thinking clear as to what makes you happy ? And getting an answer . Who thought that'd be so damn hard .

The answer lies back at the start . Remember the time of the box shaped computers ? How they used to hang ? Small boxes , and trails of them would appear suddenly and you keep clicking on the close button but nothing used to happen .

The more you clicked the more time it took to work . Same with multiple tabs working in that weakass RAM . All you had to do was hold back a minute .Stop trying tricks and it will be fine .

That's the trick . That's the trick to get it back to work .
