You won't image, I did not have 'cable connection' at home until I joined CEG :) And still I managed to entertain myself through books, limited TV programs, hobbies, etc. Today life has changed completely with these useless shows and movies.Aishwarya Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05342191057702427047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306220518950968067.post-20209304271725679072009-11-21T18:31:48.179+05:302009-11-21T18:31:48.179+05:30@Deepak - :) It makes us get into flashback mode t...@Deepak - :) It makes us get into flashback mode thinking about these!<br /><br />@The Layman: Certainly! :) Too much of anything is suffocating apart from being good for nothing!Shivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556715527795494473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306220518950968067.post-23122226049781724592009-11-21T17:58:21.945+05:302009-11-21T17:58:21.945+05:30Pointless Social networking, computer games and du...<i>Pointless Social networking, computer games and dumb TV shows have replaced a far simpler life - a life of fewer choices it was, but much more joyous and healthy!</i><br /><br />I think you know my thoughts on the topic very well :)<br /><br />This world is getting faster by the day. I wonder whether its getting meaningless too. I hate to think along these lines, but that's how I always feel. There is a scene in the movie Wall E, where people are shown being confined to the luxury of their chair. Everything they wanted to do could be done by sitting in the chair. But that made them fat, obese, "don't-know-how-to-walk" useless flesh forms who from the time they were born were enslaved by the evils of convenience and luxury. <br /><br />Ah!
