Apple has done it again. Apple will get the same customer, for two lifetimes. GO APPLE GO!!!!!!!!!

I did not save it because that's what I do. I don't save. I have a notebook so I am not in any danger of power suddenly being cut off and I have a Mac so I am not in any danger of it crashing suddenly, so I don't have the need to keep hitting ⌘S regularly. I just don't save

another show of aryaness

I just don't save. I know it is a very bad habit that might come back to bite me some day - but well, that's just the way it is.

Lolz...u r the first computer user ever who says "I do not need to save a document i m working on".

I have a PC which u know about. I have a UPS so sudden power cut is not a problem. I use Windows in a properly configures way which unless I tinker with, never crashes. I use 3Ds Max & it has auto recovery & auto save by default.....so I should also not saves files right? Gr8 logic...something that important & u did not save it.

Social Networking

Thank you very much for the appreciation! I feel honoured.


This is the speech I prepared and thanks to my Mac, am able to present before you guys today:

Social Networking

Honourable Sir,

My very worthy opponent just outlined a few disadvantages of using social networking websites. I would now like to draw your attention on a few aspects that might not be quite so terrible about them - a few aspects that you might actually like. Things that made social networking the craze it has turned out to be.

The first thing a social networking website gives you is... you guessed it, networking. You can be in touch with long lost friends; you can be in touch with the whole world without incurring outlandish telephone charges. Now, does that really sound so bad? Every single day, people on orkut and facebook run into a friend they'd last seen twenty years ago and the flame rekindles, the friendship reshapes, a long lost friend is found. It's magical.

One particular point the opposition strenuously tried to paint as a negative trait is the anonymity that is inseparably associated with online social networking. Let me get this straight. Is anonymity the demon of social networking? Is that why you condemn it? Let me say that, just for the sake of argument, I agree. So, let us ban the use of knives in the country. After all, they are used for murder. It is not, and I would like to stress on this point, the object that causes the harm but the manner in which those entrusted with it choose to use it.

The anonymity which social networking websites gift us with is a boon. It is a boon for the millions of socially inept people around the globe who are too shy to speak up in front of a few people. It is a boon for the physically unattractive or challanged, the sort of people who are generally scorn at in society. These are people too. These are people with feelings, with needs similar to what all other humans have. Online social networking gives to these people what real life, as we know it, does not. It gives them the freedom of expression and the right to be respected, no matter what they look like. I honour this huge service to mankind. I salute it.

The other thing I would like to point out is that sites like orkut and facebook are just the medium. They are the means to achieve an end, not the end itself. An anti-social person seeks to perform sinful deeds. That is the end for them and they need a medium. There are, as you might know, quite a few such mediums around and social networking just happens to be one of them. Whatever they choose to use is immaterial. The fact is, they will reach the end or at least, try their best to. And not having access to orkut is certainly not going to stop them. It is not the medium that is corrupt, but the user who chooses to use it for immoral objectives.

There are several other subsets of the advantages of social networking. I am on a restricted time slot so I'll be brief moving forwards. Social networking makes you more socially inclined, it helps you meet similar minded people, have your problems solved by a large number of people with varying opinions. It is easier to generate awareness through such websites, where the word spreads like wildfire. Since it is powered by computers, social networking also puts the immense power of accurate, all encompassing and instantaneous search at your fingertips.

I could go on with the fancy, highbrow words, but I think I've made my point. I've expressed my sentiment. I would now like to rest my throat and hear what the opposition has to say. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to voice my opinion!

Any and all feedback is highly encouraged and appreciated.

[aryayush]

Thanks for that!

Not exactly what I was hoping for but still quite welcome.

 

[narangz]

Well, its nicely written. I confess you have got pretty good writing skills & your posts too are (easily)readable.

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

Hmm...very well written but You cud've done better.

Very true!

Hmmm.. looking at your post, I am guessing that not much time was allotted to you.

 

[aryayush]

Thank you narangz, The_Devil_Himself and infra_red_dude! Thank you very much!

@The_Devil_Himself,
I know. I'll try to do even better the next time round.

 

[alsiladka]

It was a nice approach, but understandably, time constrain did not let you delve deep into the topic. There was a lot left to put light on, actually, we all could have a discussion on this topic over here in chit chat

BTW, what was the occassion for this debate and what was the prize

 

[iMav]

very articulate and nicely put ... language was amazing been a long time since iv read something so articulate (other than dan brown offcourse)
