Well lets see some responses. I saw it like 5mins ago. Europe is having some beautiful days right now.

Life at that age is so empty without social media.

brother, where is the tweet button?

I've the same thought as yous. I still don't have any solution. Please share your decision once you've made one.

(I guess, everyone in this thread is ranting about the same. Here's my anger:)

We have slowly morphed from "users of the internet" to "a product of the internet".

The internet, today, is so interested about what I do every second. This made every common man a celebrity. A friend recently said she's aware of her data being used to snoop on her, but she refrained to stop it citing that it gave her "momentary happiness" to stay on social networks. I practically couldn't deny what she said.

While I follow ('ed) a few discussions over internet, the moment I turn my phone screen on, I get disrupted by the numerous feeds from social apps ending up forgetting what I had to look at. I keep confining me to the same space eventually.

The internet is following the greatest blindfold of democracy: "Set strict boundaries for individuals of the society and let them argue within those limits infinitely. Keep them busy with controversies within those boundaries so that there isn't time left to think beyond the limits"

Sounds great. How did you manage to switch industries without domain knowledge? Im sure others applying with you get an edge if they've worked in the relevant industry before.

Here in India, people don't believe in taking risks and the usual people always get thru.

Alan just complicated his own laptop by not using which is proven to work.

No, he made a point, which no one would have believed without his example.

The whole vertical software stack sitting on top of the hardware of a PC is generally considered a massive towering best with layers of abstractions, and armies of programmers needed to implement and maintain each layer. To say that this does not need to be so, would be taken as theoretical, impractical nonsense without any proof. Which actually would be a valid position, because doing software is so hard that generally you can't guarantee will something work without actually doing it.

So, yes, to make that point, and to have it taken seriously, he really needed such an example.
