Social Training

Facebook is great platform for having a social network. It is so far the best plat form out there which enables people to share information easliy. when people are living in a global connected world. Facebook platform becomes an important tool for people to share information at a speed of light. I use Facebook almost every day to know what my friends are doing in different parts of the world and it also helps me to do effective communication with all of them instantly.

If life were to be so simple then nobody would have compalined about the Facebook. But i see totally different social structure in real world.you might have friends who you know them in student life, work, college and also through another friend and since then you might have never met. Now suddenly you are connected through Facebook and can instantly interact.
In your mind you have the same old picture and memories of that person. but because the time has past by, he might have a changed a lot.He might NOT be the same old buddy who used to chat and share all the information as earlier. For some reason if you do not know this, Facebook can be evil and can create more harm than good.

Like wise there are various things in Facebook where people sometime put a funny photo/video/comment and expect no witty answers on them. As we know the word "funny" is a relative term and varies from person to person. It would get misunderstood more often than otherwise. And things get worse when people are interacting from two different parts of world and that too in different time zones.

How should one handle this and what caution one needs to take so that you are socially responsible in the social networking platform.

1. Do not comment on anything/anyone unless you meet that person on day to day basis. Things can be sorted out very quickly when you meet him very next day.
2. In case you comment on somebody or some picture/video and if you do not see any response even after 24 hours just go ahead and remove your comment immediately. This way you will be telling the other person that your comments was unintentional.
3. if you are in a habit of commenting then unsubscribe those people who do not want your comments. This way you can stay away from commenting on such people. (I hope Facebook provides a feature where you can get a stream with no comments option). if required if you can always go to their profile anytime time and see what they are doing and also send messages.
4.Sometime if you feel like commenting but do not want to comment because of the above issues. Just hit the like button.
5. Even though Facebook is designed to stay in touch with all of your friends, in real life things do not work that way. Facebook servers as a better tool to interact with friends near you and acts as a address book/email system/news feed for distant friends.

Automation

Human brain is created in such as way that it tries to innovate and keeps building on the existing innovation. Therefore this raises the bar on each individual achievement. On other day, I was just thinking about social networking, Facebook, MySpace , Orkut etc. which lead me to think all about computer and internet. If you look at computer and internet from a distance, it is indeed remarkable achievement of mankind. Initially there was no computer everything was done manually, next computers were invented to make things work automatically. Once the computer were built, these computer were inter connected through a network and eventually globally which is called Internet . Internet has made the computer very powerful. The connected computer is more powerful and lethal when compared to the standalone system. Once we had established the network, lots of interactive system were built such as email system, centralized application client-server technology and Web technology. Initially ...

Miss You

I miss your blue eyes, I miss your smile. I miss your sweet voice, I miss your style. I miss you every step, I miss your walk. I miss you every breath, I miss your talk. I feel you, I sense you, every bit here. I see you, I think you, are you somewhere near? I miss you in coffee, I miss you in breakfast. I feel I got no future, I just want to stay in past. All things I see are boring, stand still and worthless. Everybody over here has become dumb and lifeless. O Miss, I miss you, wholeheartedly. I hope, you miss me, at least halfheartedly. It's a small world, but I am sure we will catch up one day. I look forward to that or else I will come down your way.

My Love with Football

My Love with Football June 2010, FIFA world cup has started and I am really excited to watch the matches. And I can't wait to see my favourite team win the world cup. I don't know why I love this sport more than any other, though cricket is very popular sport in India. I happened to love this sport more. It all began in 90, I had learnt Maradona and Pele were the legends of football and I had watched them play in pervious world cup highlights which was telecasted in our only TV Channel of India the Doordarshan on Sundays. 1990 was the year, where the FIFA world cup was held in Italy and my hero Maradona was playing in it. I was glued to the TV all night watching great matches. Due to time difference and one channel could not telecast multiple matched at same time. I had missed some matches in 90, but i had seen most of them live. Argentina was brilliant in this world cup. Maradona was great. He helped Argentina win matches against Brazil, Yugoslavia and Italy. These were th...
