Computers

Let me tell something. I don't know when or what struck a spark in me to pursue computers. Before I joined Engg. people would have laughed on seeing this boor asking the cyber cafe owner to switch on the PC for him(yes! i didn't know where the power button was). But within a space of a year i was the troubleshooter guy in the hostel...the person one would call if he had a crash, virus attack, networking problems anything...sometimes i knew what i was doing..other times it was a calculated bluff..but i did the job all the same. The deeper i dug, the base of this pit kept shifting off farther and farther like some mirage. In that glimmering darkness of the subterranean caves could I see more clearly now how everything was connected. Various disparate disciplines seemed to be the same thing. Even thinking of our day to day life with a technical perspective shows how similar arts, science and all other great things are. Computers are not calculators to ease our lives. They are like an old friend who reminds us of our primitive & simplistic past, helps us understand the chaos of the present and shows us visions of the grand future. Along the lines of its development we can trace our own. Knowing them is to know us.
