its time we regularise the internet
by on Jun 10, 2007 03:21 PM

I think its the google's irresponsible attitude to give away such a powerful tool to each and everyone irrespective of their attitude, if it is for alumni and friends then it should encourage only such members that too only after due authentication.It may be very constructive but see how it can create fundamentalists and fanatics when someone knows that there are other fanatics[psychos] around like him hating some religion or anything from the past.The same shiv sena can use this as a tool to create fundamentalists and fanatics.If google can't monitor the whole network better it should go for the development of such sophisticated monitoring methods as we cannot expect every user from 1 to 100 years to be responsible.Our culture is definitely different and diverse than that of west.Even a small spark can swallow millions of life in this part of world.Maybe we are in the internet age, but still several millions of our brothers,sisters and children are starving due to lack of education,food etc and they have not come out of their prejudices and practises, so if something can cause a mild hatred then the effect is gonna be devastating.It is impossible for the orkut[google] owners to understand the situation in our country.Moreover even I am youth and I feel orkut swallows a lotta useful time.The total number of internet users in india is less when compared to the people dying of hunger.So I feel banning orkut is not going to create some russian revolution in india.
