I guess I am technology fan. I just could not stop myself from making this post. I am on train from the arctic circle making its way back to civilization in Helsinki, Finland. Right now the train is going through the arctic wilderness and all I can see through the window is birch trees. Lots of them!

But in this ‘middle of nowhere’ there is internet! I am connected to the net through a GPRS card on my laptop and I am ‘connected’ to the world. Chat-ing with my friends across the globe. Of course they are not able to understand why I am so excited!

All this reminds of this famous quote –
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Arthur C. Clarke, “Profiles of The Future”, 1961 (Clarke’s third law)
