Second Life

I was born in my Second Life, sometime in the last month .. 

What a journey it has been, simply exploring !

IBM has come up with an online virtual gaming scenario called a second life. After the Internet Boom , everybody felt that INTERNET was at its peak, and that all the euphoria surrounding it would subside hereon. But that was not to be with Web 2.0

Here IBM has come up with what could be the next level of Internet, 3-D Internet.

I come alive in my second life only on weekends, to visit places that are VIRTUAL, to meet people who have their avatar's, to be at a non polluted beach, to fly high in the sky ( literally ), and all.

I had played a game called PlayBoy , which had similar avatar's and the interaction was a lot of fun. I feel *this* innovative concept to be borrowed from them, just that this SECOND thing ( in all aspects ;-) of innovation and life ! ) is online.

Love of Precision

Precision :

Highly respected quality ?

Rare ingredient ?

The questions in this respect also seem to be very imprecise .

"A human being is (/should be) a student all through his life."

Googling this term for some inputs did not help me. Try out Precision

Looking at the first result by wikipedia links us to Accuracy & Precision ! and things like High Accuracy but low precision and vice-versa, making the matters more worse. Guys, I am trying to understand precision with accuracy !

I am going off track and not at all being precise with this post.

I always "try" to be precise, but do end up where I don't wish to be, because may be I wished imprecisely !

"Practice makes a man perfect."

Can one ever be a perfect human being ?

A Common GOAL

Looking back to this year i see some questions like,
What was your new year resolution ? & Were you able to achieve that ? blah blah..
Do you even remember you had a new year resolution, which you had decided upon and forgot the very next day of the year..

If nothing of these, then you sure are a person who will achieve Greatness!

Last week i had been to Amchi Mumbai. While i was on a visit to this amazing city, i saw people
( horde of people ) moving at quite a brisk rate from one place to another.
I could not see, even an iota of them lingering around, which made me think about the way WE Humans are going about things.
Everybody ( a human being ) has a common goal, maybe a short term or otherwise, may be the one he has decided or otherwise, but he sure has one.

What about Human Beings as one ? what about Earth ?
WE never ever seem to have a COMMON GOAL for ALL OF US .
We DO have GOALS :
1. at individual levels
2. at group levels ( company / firm )
3. at family levels
and so on..

WHAT ABOUT COMMON OBJECTIVEs for MANKIND ?
Where are we heading ? Do we have a focussed objectives for development of technology / environment ?
Even if we do have. During everyday work what we tend to see is short term and not the wider picture that we all are a part of .
