life

The virtual (internet) world has always loved the night life. It flourished during the night time. Once the sun had set in people would come out of their real world, let go all the problems and would don a new avatar. They would than immersed themselves in their own little virtual world where in people met other people, discussed about what happened, what’s new, they laughed, they cried, romanced .. had a great time in short. In this world they were a completely different personality it didn’t matter what they were in real life but in here they could be anything even a superman. Any dream of theirs could come true in this virtual world.

This trend started off with the first virtual environment which were created by chat rooms (remember yahoo chats) people used to stay awake late night just to meet different people, chatted, flirted, played, watched (video chats) with others for hours sometimes till the dawn just to realize that they had to go back into their real world. Many friends were made, many took it to the next level some got married where as some broke out. This was a new world which everyone liked.  No doubt that good looks was still helpful but here again the other important factor was they way to conversed. Here in this new world more than looks for the first time good conversing was the new charm.

This chat world after few years evolved to a new world of social networking websites like Facebook, MySpace, Orkut and the whole gamut of it. In this people didn’t had to be online to chat or remain in contact with other people. They could connect with their friend by leave message, share photos, their updates.. etc. These websites also gave them a common platform to start up their group activity at anytime they want. This change had made the world once place which didn’t had to be bogged down by the different time zone.

Similarly with the social networking website blog also became popular. Blogosphere provided a medium for people to not only pen down their thoughts online but to start sharing it, get feedback on it and start interacting.  Before this thoughts were a part of an old diary kept tucked beneath the bed or in the closet.

But still here in this of social networking and blogs the night time was the best as people would return back home after office hours\school\college\finish off their daily chores loosen up and than start checking up whats new in their virtual world.

People say that time changes fast and along with it the people and the world around it. The virtual world had always the first one to embrace the change. The new age of Information was fast and it was more of a real time. People needed information fast and did not wanted to be bogged down to a place or a time. They wanted to be connected to people at everytime. Now the virtual world and real world intermingled. This new virtual world was called Twittersphere. People used the 140 character (similar to sending SMS) to its full use. The 140ism was a new and a quick way to tell people what you were doing and got to know what others were doing all the time. This broke all the time & space barriers. People could tweet from their mobile phone or computer from anywhere. The whole world was one place one in the same time line.

Even with the advantage of being able to tweet at any time from any place people still loved to tweet at night. One of the studies says the twitters tweet mostly after 4:00 PM. Which incidentally coincides with the end of the office hours and the start of twilight. Its the time you can peacefully devote to your virtual world the time and the necessary attention with out someone looking over your shoulders.

Leaving you with this thoughts is a song I like.. till then Jaagte Raho….
