I asked myself -- just like that -- so abruptly -- all of a sudden -- What is YouTube eh? Why do we have it in the first place? Why's for free? Who's put it there? I just see a really unobstrusive ad and then I'd you know -- it's my telly where I've the freedom to decide what I wanna watch -- Let's take a break -- pause -- Download it, I'd water it later -- E-mail this link to my Comrade-in-arms: This VDO is really groovy -- We started with Indian Television here: Doordarshan. Mono Channel. Now, we've Satellitle TV and all -- but here we can't choose what we wanna watch -- you'd surf channels -- wait, if there's some ad -- like that -- of course, those were like Dummy Terminals -- now we've got real Intelligent terminals -- where you'd schedule record and all that -- but you don't have the option to pick what you wanna watch -- strictly speaking -- The Broadcasting TV Station and all that decides that -- and it' simplex -- unless they want you to you know punch a # and send text messages not really toll free -- that's okay -- I'm not crititicing Telly or anything -- YouTube is Internet Community -- all of it -- anyone with access to Internet could upload something for everyone else -- In a bird's eye-view -- your choices are not beyond -- what's already there -- but here you've more freedom -- moreover. you'd interact -- you'd create something a CBT-Nuggets like Tutorial -- or a VDO Email -- anything. A documentary or anything -- premeried on YouTube -- Now, you'd you know access copyrighted media and all -- there's some you know basic fee and all -- I think, YouTube guys should have YouTube only Currency - eCurrency -- like in India -- there's this Green Currency -- Internet Money -- So people like me -- around the globe -- could access fee-based content -- we just have to go to the you know -- any supermarket -- any Internet kiosk -- Grocery store -- and get that YouTube Access card -- go back home or if you're on Tablet and all -- Laptop and you're roaming -- or commuting to work -- whatever -- Scratch card --that's all -- key-in the # -- just like what we have here -- for mobile phones -- recharge cards -- People like me with no Credit / Debit cards and Online Banking stuff -- could still access -- and, even people with all that stuff won't get jumpy -- in spite of all you know ecommerce security checks and balances -- people aren't really comfy of doing online transactions -- this is my you know -- I just can't access certain movies and all and it's in Indian currency -- denomination -- Fifty rupees -- and I really want to watch that movie or anything like that -- and, I've this thing you know sommetimes I get really and seriously ethical -- I don't wanna do any intellutual rights infringments -- intelletucal theft -- and all that -- those you'd would be persecuted and may or may not be prosecuted -- but in any case -- to the maximum extent possible -- this law that law -- so that kind of -- so such sort of ciggy like graphic warning really and seriously intimidate a person like me who's guilty of hacking his own computer with some lame BO2k of some weirdos nerds you know Cult of the Dead Cow -- and after that incident -- I felt so guilty -- conscience-stricken -- that I immediately signed up for COMPTIA's Security plus and i-Net Plus and EC-Council's CEH. And, turned into an Ethical Hacker -- A self-professed Alpha Geek and officially certified of course with all those coveted certs InfoSec Professional. And, audaciously hoped to crack CISSP too.

Thank you so much. Here all of you make the dreams of Role-Players like me come true. I'm an Ethical Hacker. I'm a Blogger. I'm a critic of Rotten Tomotoes Critics' -- I'm Facebook Lurker -- I'm chatroom moderator -- This is my Telly -- I goof around and most of the times quite seriously on match matching sites with serious and believable mass marriage cross-et cetra success stories -- This is my BBS -- This is my Internet -- This is our swimming pool -- and this is our sea and ocean -- I get a real groovy Linux distro -- I get really really mad at all those micro-blogging offshoots for so daylight-robbery-like restricing our freedom to few ASCII characters -- I wink at some NYT Book Review Veronica-clone probably a community college drop out -- I'm like a you know -- This is my: The Jungle Book -- and, I'm Mister Mowgli -- some girls turn on moderation even before my maiden just-stumbled-on -- or some turn it off -- girls are unpredicitble on the Internet as well -- Now, that's a real Catch-22 -- so I go to Merriam Webster and check how to pronounce it native-speaker like in Standard American English -- I goof around -- I'm Mister Incognito -- I'm Mister Notorious -- I'm The Whirling Dervish -- I'm your Comrade-in-arms -- ad infinitum -- so are you. It's not your world or my world -- or their world -- this is just an electronic extension of our world where we do the same thing -- we share interact communicate learn -- because of pioneers -- avant gardists -- it's a collective effort -- I did this -- you did that -- you know a positive chainreaction -- ripple effect -- Learn a new language -- do some homework reasearch on Wikipedia -- anything -- Blogs -- News Media -- anything -- we'd respect of course people who made this possible and working 24/7 x 365 days without any you know -- they never hankered for this and that -- glory or zillions of dollars or this that -- same people who came up with aircraft -- phone -- electric bulb -- for their kids us -- generation after generation -- so that we could learn -- community -- idealism -- secularism -- you know -- we're also doing the same thing -- all of us are quite creative and vital cogs of the same wheel - Computers -- Informatics -- Robotics -- Space Stations -- Puppet Theater -- ebooks -- Audio Books -- Software -- Online Biz -- Publish your own eBook -- like that -- Video conferencing with your family -- like Skype and all -- for free -- imagine? We can't give 'em anything in return -- they are our parents -- gurus -- mentors -- they never meant this to be reciprocal -- it's from the beginning unconditional -- they just want us to learn you know -- family -- human rights -- animal cruelty -- like that -- good governance -- news -- reviews -- radio -- sound bytes -- some of us would come up with something else -- we're on Internet -- we do this Unv degree or cert online -- and a build a Drone for our school college science project -- a bipedal robo -- yep even launch a satellitle if we'd pool and all that -- ham radio -- bbs on telnet -- like AOL -- our own AOL -- a mini -- not-so-seriouly moderated mini-internet -- so on -- this message to you itself I'm writing on a computer and you'd you know dub dub dub -- site not found -- LOL -- Employee Monitoring Software -- Kids at home -- you know that real serious stuff -- got it? Then what.
Go back to your books. What're you doing on the Internet eh?
Rookie. Tsk, tsk.
This is SentThere email. I always knew who you're forward it to. And, I'd self-destruct this. Or retract. What do you think eh? Script Kiddo.
Mission Impossible Guy by the JukeBox: Hey, where's this Penelope Cruz girl eh? Heard some flamboyant cowboy goofing with her eh. Yep. yep put those Nuke missiles too. Yep it's a Kami Kami Mission. Mister Minority Report.
ATC: Mister Out of Africa just sonic-boomed my coffee -- but it's okay -- he's really real mad and out for that big game. Yep. Land Crusier, standy.
That's all for now, folks. Novajo: A tribal-variant that means there's no word for goodbye in our language.
