Sometimes I ask myself "What will the world have looked like without computers and the internet?" Boring, dull,uninteresting huh? (name it all).
But to me the world may have been a better place and at the same time a boring station for us all. Just think of it no Google to search those sites, no Facebook, Twitter or any other social network to meet, socialize and pretend you love your enemy.
I as a muslim, I learn something new about Islam every time I log onto the internet. You have tafseers posted, hijab fashions just to mention a few.
Oops! You don't even need to be in Paris before you snag a Paris Original, all thanks to the internet, you can shop IT right in your room.
I can go on and on stating the advantages of the computer and the internet till thy Kingdom come.
However, I don't think the inventors foresee the problem of the internet enslaving the human race.
You hear and read stories of internet hacking, school age children committing suicide because friends in school posted something horrible in their email boxes. Girls running away from home to meet a man they met on the internet who promised to love them more than their parents. If there is something which takes away children from their Parents apart from School, it is the INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Yahoo Boys are not left out in these game.
Not to talk of some people turning the internet into a war zone attacking other peoples' religion and view.
FOR HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW OUR LIVES TO BE RUN BY A DEVICE CALLED THE COMPUTER AND THE INTERNET.
But in all I think if a group of positive minded people can come up with Yahoo, Google, FaceBook and the likes, we can turn the internet into a safer, interesting and POSITIVE PLACE.
Critics are Welcome
This is the beginning inshallah.
