How much more black can this be?

“Its like, how much more black can this be?
And the answer is none. None more black.”
-Nigel Tufnel.

Although, Mr. Tufnel was speaking about the state of software development while he delivered the following line, I was wondering how much it stays true for the life itself; atleast, sometimes.

Technology claims it created a world, a global village, where distance is now void, but I for one have started to doubt it. As my cousin said the other day “we only created individual rooms.” We have started to live with machine, not humans. We have started to evolve with machine, not humans.

Few days back, I was talking to a friend when we were just laughing about, if, there will be a day when computers and humans will catch the same virus. Like there are some virus that attacks both, the men and the mammal. Later, I was thinking it’s already happening. When my PC is attacked by some virus it gives me headache, mood swings and discomfort. Maybe, its just beginning of the evolution with machines. After centuries or perhaps just decades we will co-exist with them – ohh wait, we already co-exist with them.

Coming back to life, when it seems black and dark. ….Have you ever been to a party when suddenly there was a power failure and you were in complete dark? Although, you might had your friend standing right next to you but just in that single moment, didn’t you feel all alone? In a complete darkness? It is the same moment I am talking about, in that moment I start to wonder if we really have a destiny or life is just like a foliage randomly flying in different directions where ever the breeze pushes it away.

In the movie Forest Gump, Tom Hanks said maybe its both. Yes. Maybe. Its both.
