The beauty of the new world, the network!!

Since I was introduced to the networking world (I call it a world because its not land space, its cyber space or virtual and has slightly different dynamics compared to the actual world, which I will elaborate on later) I wonder, in how many ways people relate to it. To be specific, each one of us has a unique view of whatever we relate with so this may be applicable to networking too. For example, some view it as a way to find companionship, some find it a medium to self expression, some use it specifically for business purposes, some for quest for knowledge.

I guess the real world was the same initially. We all had our own skies, our own unique perceptions. Our own ample space to explore and cater to our unique needs. We flowed with the nature of real world, became part of it. This was when the humankind was in harmony with nature.

Then came excesses. Human kind no longer flowed with the nature, they dominated it, led it, tried to control it, and was successful in manipulating and impacting it to change abnormally. They had the power to make nature's most beautiful species go extinct. Humankind themselves struggle to survive not the nature but each other.

Today's networking world is exactly how real world was thousands of years ago. There are wonderful entities floating around, free to have their own sky. If we are smart enough in real sense, we will keep this world harmless, free of manipulations, destruction and misuse. We could use the lessons learnt from the real world. Destruction is real and starts in very small ways. Each of us can contribute to protecting this wonderful dynamic world of networking and can start with showing respect and retaining trust.
