At a recent TT session a friend was seeking opinions on internet based business. To the uninitiated, this is loosely translated as, using the internet to run/make/base a business. Many books, articles and lectures have been written on the subject, but to this friend, his approach is, for a lack of better word, outdated. Subsequently after 3 Nescafe tarik, both concluded that his enthusiasm is best not quashed by the realities of the internet.
The internet is to me the last unadulterated frontier where
one can be honest yet anonymous,
truthful yet lying,
pure yet biased.
One can become oneself, yet unknown to one’s dearest.
It is an open environment yet so closed that only those in the know, knows.
It bridges the furthest distance, and yet it distances those closest.
It caters for open trade, with security envious of
It is easily accepted by a child, yet it is still misunderstood by those accomplished statesmen.
It is part of everyday life, yet only a handful makes full use of its potential.
It is paradoxical, and it is beautiful.
Embrace it, despise it, or even ignore it; the internet has affected everyone so profoundly that it has uprooted cultures, uncovered truths, influenced billions; almost overnight.
So to my dear friend, it’s ok to still stick to your niblick, as long as you play the game with
the present rules.
Live in the present, think in the future, and always reference the past.
