I am on the Internet more than eight hours a day. But I continue to be amazed by the power of the medium.
Yesterday, while browsing through a page, I suddenly remembered an old colleague. We have not spoken or had any contact for seven years. I typed his name into the search box at Rediff and I found his email address on the third result.
I mailed him a note. And, within seconds, I had a reply.
Barriers of space (he is in Australia) and time just melted away with a few bursts of electronic activity.
Now, which other medium could have done that?
