With TED coming to India, all of a sudden a whole lot of people seem to know about it. I knew what TED was almost a decade ago. And I also knew why it was so elitist and aspired to be a part of it someday. Back then, the number of people I knew who knew TED was practically zero. Even 5 years ago, that number would have been less than 10. Today, all of sudden, everybody seems to know what TED.
While this is a good thing for TED (both the speakers and its newfound audience), personally I feel betrayed that something that was so elitist that I knew and most people didn't know has become a lot more commonplace. This is akin to me knowing Deepika Padukone some 2 years before her debut in Bollywood or google back in early 1999.
How do you react when you see the possibility of mass popularity of something when it is relatively obscure and then it does indeed become commonplace?Current Mood:  grumpy |

It has been a while since I wrote anything in the name of a blog regardless of how pointless it is. Not surprisingly, that coincided with me starting to use twitter. Twitter is awesome is so many ways but certainly not meant to be a substitute for elaborate writing. I've seen a lot of old time bloggers temporarily give up on proper writing when they got hooked on to twitter and it wasn't any different for me either.
I'm making this post from my E63 just to see how hard is full fleged logging from a QWERTY mobile device. Apparently it is not that hard. Anyways, expect to see more of me here. |
