Exams Y U NO end?

“Sometimes I wonder that with all the progress that mankind has made, why hasn’t written exams been eradicated yet? Shouldn’t there have been some kind of an instrument which the examiner could stick into by brain and tell me that I’ve passed with x % aggregate then and there itself. Its just sad.”

Life without internet?

I woke up today morning to find out that my internet connection was down. In fact, all the wired telephones in my house were dead.

I turned on my PC, and suddenly I had nothing to do! No internet!

An hour later, everything was back to normal as the lines were fixed and I was back on the internet.

After 5 minutes…

I still had nothing to do!

<facepalm>

Spam Psychology

Sometimes I think that the rate of growth of spam applications on facebook is steadily losing out to the rate of growth of numb-skulls falling for it.

Humans have been designed to adapt, to learn from experience. The first neanderthal man who introduced his fingers inside a burning flame, must not have needed a second chance to learn the essential lesson. And those were neanderthals. They usually just smacked each other on the head to kill time. And here we are – youth of the 21st century, at the brink of a major technology revolution – repetitively falling for the same spam applications on facebook.

But why do people keep falling for it? Ah! They play with our brains! Lets have a look at the specific type of people who fall for such applications.

1. “Who will be your valentine?” = Teenagers who are single or in complicated relationships, and people who have nothing better to do.

2. “Who viewed your profile?” = Absolute loners, and people who have nothing better to do.

3. “Facebook will be deactivated. Authenticate your profile” = Dumb people, Gullible people, and people who have nothing better to do.

4. “Paste this code to see something Amazing!” = Dumb people again, Bored people, and people who have nothing better to do.

5. “Free 1000 iPhone giveaway!” = Dumb people who think they’re clever, and people who have nothing better to do.

Gotta go grab some sleep now. Will continue in the next post.

Technology is anything that wasn’t around when you were born.

Aha! How true is that?
