Internet is the most eligible real thing to be taken as God: 5 reasons why!

Well, whats God? To put it in one word, God is the "Ideal". And the existence of ideal is totally out of the question. But the quest for the closest thing which can relate to the ideal have left people wandering and wondering.

But, amid the modern day surroundings, internet is the closest thing to god one(or atleast me) could possibly find. The metaphor goes like this: Internet is god, and we are the worshippers. Computing devices are the priests that connect us to the god. And anything we do online is an offering, including this blog post.

Different religions, different cultures associate different attributes with god. And the internet never fails to fit in into any of those. So, here a few points that substantiate this view point:

Internet is Omnipresent



The internet is present everywhere. Agreed that there are areas with poor connectivity, yet it has the potential to be everywhere. If not through cables or cellular network, then through satellites.

Bypass YouTube age restrictions and ads without extensions in just 2 steps.

YouTube, the video sharing super gaint is one of the websites which is used daily by many . Or take

You are a Jughead if You Believe Facebook Apps can Predict Your True Love.

Fake Facebook apps inspired by Mithoo

Yes, you definitely are stupid if you believe some silly Facebook app can let you find your true love, the meaning of your name, hidden facts about your personality, your crush, your profile visitors, your lifespan, the reason for your death, when you will be married or the most suited profession for you.

If you look into this a bit deeply, even the parrot astrologers, or the hand fortune tellers are more reliable than these silly apps because palmistry, numerology and astrology are accepted sciences. And trust me, none of these silly apps integrate any of these sciences to make predictions.

The Truth Behind Giveways: Real Generosity or Cheap Publicity

Giveaways and sweepstakes are very common on internet. And in past few years they have become too common. Atleast once in life it happens with everyone that they may become frenzied about luck or free-rewards and become lottery or giveaway maniacs searching for more and more giveaways in hope of winning. It happened with me, atleast. And I managed to win a couple of times. Not something big, though.

Some giveaways aim at rewarding rewarding people based on skills. Example : For solving a puzzle or Sudoku in shortest amount of time, slogan writing etc. And I like such giveaways as it spaeks of rewarding a talent and not trading for publicity.
