It is another Saturday, the sky is carpeted with grey and white cloud, with dots of blue sky here and there, making it a sorts of hazy day and it is humid...I sat there with the laptop typing this on the kopitiam table at the patio in front of my humble home in Ampang Jaya, a suburban of Kuala Lumpur, Out there is the KLCC, the Kuala Lumpur twin tower, the symbol of the capital....A magnificent building indeed, that blended well with the other buildings in this city... The scene is that like you often see in a postcard. So my house is with a view of the KLCC, making it a valuable real estate...But I love this home and would surely not part with it...it is my home, a dream home of my own...As I write this my mind wonder to the wonder of the internet, that makes this all possible...It is the countries in the west that took the trouble to do research that eventually lead to the invention of the internet and with that came the tools for emailing, blogging and other means of communication via the net...It is a marvel of our age, that my generation, the generation of the thirties and the forties, never thoughts or ever dream that it would be possible to communicate with ease to any point on this planet...The internet makes it possible, thanks to those thinkers and great minds of west...I believe that we should continue to search for all the means of improving our quality of life and making our species more productive in all fields as we progress on...Let us not believe in the myth and superstitious that were told by those people whose thinking faculty have been block by traditional belief and refuse to open their mind, afraid that their belief would be eventually proven wrong, ....Before the internet we would not be able to read or hear information that the authority or the so called moral guardian found to be forbidden, thus deprived us of the great knowledge of the progress of our species, but today information are there in cyberspace and it just takes just a moment in time to retrieved it, thanks to the search engine like googles, yahoo, msn and the like, that makes it possible to get information with just a click of a button ... I think that cyberspace is the new information avenue for those people that live in countries that tried to prevent its population from gathering knowledge, and in the process get to the truth of all those things, that once was the privilege of a few, who with these knowledge managed to control the development of the thinking power of it citizen..The internet and cyberspace is actually the Pandora box of today...It is already opened and soon it would create a reform in the whole world unlike ever before....Mankind would be free to decide there own future......The freedom to express freely and share information for the benefit of everyone on this planet....The next fifty years or so would see many changes in all part of the world...Just because of the internet....
