I was going through the Google Image search for pictures of Srikrishna, Surprised to see so many photos which are of people who probably dont know they themselves exited on this earth.
Well, what struck me was, what the internet has done to mankind?
Not so long ago there were so many people (1Billion of them) populating this great country India. Very few were even known to have existed in the remote corner of certain villages that dont even has a proper transport service, but the advent of internet lets say Computers has given these people a chance to show their presence in this world.
Great some might think, but I would say NOT REALLY.
Why do I think like this? Probably I am a high headed B, who thinks only I should be the chosen one.... May be, May be not....
My analysis is purely based on Survival of the Fit.
By allowing so many people to access the power of the technology we dont know what we are getting into. The reason why the access of Vedas was not given to many could have been that people with challenged thinking could interpret the content in their limited sense and destroy the essence of it, which we see in India today. Any body born to the So called Brahminical Cult assumes he is a brahmana when thats truly not the case.
Lets look at the Internet and only one aspect of the net i.e. image search, you type a search text and find millions of sites which are not really relevant. Now any third person who is searching for some information gets these contents and with his limited understanding accepts the content to be true then who ever learns form this nut head is going to end up being one.
How do we then solve the problem?
In capitalism driven society...where Money means everything to many, such an act of giving information to only the knowledgeable few would mean Violation of Right to Know.
We really need to know what we are trying to do. When population is so large, 90% being junk, you cant really come up with rules that can justify the means.
One thing can be thought about, for those accessing the net, the service provider should have a logic of displaying content which are thoroughly edited and refreed before accepting,
For instance my article that I am writing, should be reviewed and authenticated before publishing on the net. So that the emotionally vulnerable audience reading this could take the negative aspect of what I am writing rather than seeing my point of view.
I know that my concern is what will turn out to be the problem in a couple of years, It has been that way since I was 15.
I had told many that IT one day shall become a major cause of concern if we do not regulate the growth. Now it has its effets on the economy of the globe. No one wants to accept it but we all know that that is the truth.
If people atleast 10% of the populaiton can start thinking on where we are pushing our civilization, I think we will be able ot make this world a better place of You, Me and the Entire Human Race.
