Amazing...the dot-com boom. sometimes I sit and do some serious thinking on how the communications area have boomed. Starting from the time I finished my schooling which was just six years back,the internet thing has grown up very fast.I realise not even having a e-mail id then.Now my whole world is in it.My work,field of study and also a thing of leisure.True,but I think of another thing also..how far can it go further?
