| Every Website is Someones Attempt at Achieving a Goal
Have you ever thought about the real stories behind all the
websites on the Internet? There are over 10 million sites out
there and a human being with some hope or dream driving the
process constructed each one. Too much of our modern world is
presented to us in a barrage of superficial pictures that only
show a very external glimpse of the true reality beneath the
surface. Wouldn’t you like to know about the people who live
behind this wall of technology? Humanity is the force behind all
the websites, and for that matter, all technology that we use
without a second thought everyday. Behind every advance in
technology is a human being who wanted to get something done,
then did it.
Why do you have a website? Is it your dream to share your ideas
with the world? Do you feel you have a product or service that
can help society run more smoothly? Do you feel lonely and feel
that the Internet is finally a place to connect with others? Do
you just want to express yourself to the world and if no one
checks it out its O.K, because it has helped you to know
yourself better? Each and every website on the Internet is a
human being attempting to move forward on their life’s path.
What drove you to make the move? Has it helped you, or have
unforeseen problems arisen because of your venture? It is a risk
you know, and I’m sure for every success story out there,
there’s also a story of how the Web affected someone’s world in
a contrary fashion.
That’s life, and essentially that’s all the Internet is, another
expression of life itself. Some people might think that the
Internet is just another capitalistic venture to sell things and
make money. They might also think it’s a super technical
mumbo-jumbo of nonsense that is way over their heads. It’s much
more simple than all that. The Internet is humanity in motion.
It’s the next step we’ve taken on our journey as a species.
Where is the journey taking us? What is the destination? What
are we hoping to achieve in the long run?
The Internet is another tool like fire and the stone-axe, the
wheel and the well, the airplane and the satellite. The point is
that we’ve built it for a purpose. What is your personal reason
for being alive? Do you know yet? Do you just want to be happy
while you are here in this magical form? Well, that’s why we
invent tools. We want to make things work, get the job done each
day, go home happy and content each night knowing that we’ve
done our share of the load. A lot of us believe that helping
others is the true way to finding happiness. Whatever your goal
in life is, if you’ve achieved it or not, the World Wide Web is
a new aspect of our world that we can use to take the risks and
logical steps to achieving what we are looking for.
Why does that person have a website about health issues? Did
they have to go through a hard experience of their own that
inspired them to share what they learnt with others? Why does
this person have a site about spirituality? Did they once feel
lost in the world, and now they want to tell others about the
experience that has brought them faith? Why does this person
sell doughnuts over the Web? Do they think that all people
should know the power of a chocolate covered glazed extravagance
at least once in their life? Maybe before they sold doughnuts
they lived as a recluse in the forest. Did they come to the city
and after eating the first thing they came across (a doughnut);
they had an epiphany about their true purpose in life?
By taking this humanistic approach to our technology, the
tech-heads can build better programs and software that’s much
simpler to comprehend. The layperson can relate to, and
understand the Net better, and even help the experts by sharing
their viewpoints and becoming more of a part of the future
technologies process. This perspective will also help people to
realize that the computer isn’t something separate from them or
something to be afraid of.
