കാലിഫോര്ണിയ: ലോകത്തെ ആശയവിനിമയത്തിന്റെ സുപ്രധാനഘടകമായി മാറിയിരിക്കുന്ന ഇന്റര്നെറ്റിന് നാല്പത് വയസ്സുതികഞ്ഞു.
1969 സെപ്റ്റംബര് രണ്ടിന് ലോസ് ആഞ്ജലസില് കാലിഫോര്ണിയ സര്വ്വകലാശാലയിലെ പ്രൊഫസര് ലിയോനാര്ഡ് ക്ലിന്റോക്കിന്റെ ലാബിലാണ് ഇന്റര്നെറ്റ് എന്ന സങ്കല്പം ആദ്യമായി ഉരുത്തിരിഞ്ഞത്.
രണ്ട് കമ്പ്യൂട്ടറുകള് 15 അടി നീളമുള്ള കേബിളിലൂടെ ടെസ്റ്റ് ഡാറ്റകള് വിനിമയം ചെയ്യുന്ന പരീക്ഷണമാണ് ഇന്നത്തെ നിലയിലുള്ള ഇന്റര്നെറ്റായി വികസിച്ചത്.
ഇപ്പോള് ഇന്റര്നെറ്റ് എന്ന് നമ്മള് വിളിക്കുന്ന അര്പാനെറ്റിന്റെ തുടക്കം അന്നായിരുന്നു. പിന്നീട് സാന്റ് ബാര്ബറയിലെ കാലിഫോര്ണിയ സര്വ്വകലാശാലയും ഉത്താ സര്വ്വകലാശാലയും 1969 അവസാനത്തോടെ അര്പാനെറ്റ് ശൃംഗലയില് ചേര്ന്നു. അങ്ങനെ അങ്ങനെ ആ നെറ്റ് വര്ക്ക് വളര്ന്നുകൊണ്ടേയിരുന്നു.
1970ലാണ് ഇമെയില് രംഗപ്രവേശം ചെയ്തത്. പിന്നീട് ഇപ്പോള് വ്യാപകമായി ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്ന ഡോട്ട് കോം, ഡോട്ട് ഓര്ഗ് തുടങ്ങിയ ഇന്റര്നെറ്റ് അഡ്രസുകളുടെ സംവിധാനം 1980ലാണ് രൂപം കൊണ്ടത്.
ബ്രിട്ടീഷ് ഗവേഷകനായ ടിം ബര്ണേഴ്സ് ലീ രൂപം നല്കിയ വേള്ഡ് വൈഡ് വെബ്ബ് രംഗത്തെത്തിയതോടെ ഇന്റര്നെറ്റ് വിപ്ലവത്തിന് തുടക്കമായി. ഇന്ന് ലോകത്ത് നൂറുകോടിയിലേറെ ആളുകള് ഇന്റര്നെറ്റിനെ ഏറ്റവും നല്ല ആശയവിനിമയോപാധിയായി കണക്കാക്കുന്നു.

Hidden potential
A child was born three months after the death of his father. Born prematurely, he was a small child; his mother said that he could easily fit inside a quart mug.. When He was three, his mother remarried and went to live with her new husband, leaving her son in the care of his maternal grandmother.
Began his schooling in the village schools. When he was 15 yrs, his step father died and his mother came back only to remove him from school and attempted to make a farmer of him. He was thoroughly unhappy with the farm work. One of his high school teacher helped him back to school to complete his education.
At the age of 19 he fell in love, romanced for a year and got engaged to his beloved. But he became engrossed in his studies and let the romance cool itself and she left him and married someone else. He never married. He faced challenges everywhere! He was born unlucky with much hardship for very survival & struggle for education. What can you expect that child to do and achieve in life? Think!
He described universal gravitation (Gravity) and the three laws of motion. He invented the reflecting telescope and made many contributions to mathematics.
Yes we are talking of Sir Isaac Newton
Best wishes to you to release your hidden potential in this life itself!

What is love?
A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."
The student went to the field, go threw first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later.Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he starts to realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knew he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.
So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.
The teacher told him, "...this is love... you keep looking for better ones, but
when later you realise, you have already missed the person.

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT? ...
This takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this! It is from a Physiotherapist... This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't. It's pre-programmed in your brain!
1. while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction. And there's nothing you can do about it!

HA!! Father's beware of such sons.....
A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards.
The little boy asked why he wore his collar backwards.
The man, who was a priest, said, "I am a Father." The little boy replied, "My Daddy doesn't wear his collar like that. "
The priest looked up from his book and answered "I am the Father of many."
The boy said, "My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn't wear his collar that way.. "
The priest, getting impatient, said, "I am the Father of hundreds" and went back to reading his book.
The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said,
"Maybe you should wear your pants backwards instead of your collar."

Where is GOD ?
Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are extremely mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably Involved.
The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.
So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.
The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?"
The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.
So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?!"
Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed,
"Where is God?!"
The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.
When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "what happened?"
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time.
GOD is missing, and they think we did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( hahaha).....

Theory going 2 win nobel prize...
Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy
Donkey = eat + sleep
Therefore,
Human = Donkey + work + enjoy
Therefore,
Human - enjoy = Donkey + work
In other words,
Human that don't know how to enjoy = Donkey that work
=============
Equation2...
Men = eat + sleep + earn money
Donkeys = eat + sleep
Therefore,
Men = Donkeys + earn money
Therefore,
Men - earn money = Donkeys
In other words,
Men that don't earn money = Donkeys
==============
Equation3...
Women = eat + sleep + spend
Donkeys = eat + sleep
Therefore,
Women = Donkeys + spend
Therefore,
Women - spend = Donkeys
In other words,
Women that don't spend = Donkeys
==============
To Conclude:
From Equation 2 and Equation 3
Men that don't earn money = Women that don't spend.
So, Men earn money not to let women become Donkeys! (Postulate 1)
And, Women spend not to let men become Donkeys! (Postulate 2)
So, we have?
Men + Women = Donkeys + earn money + Donkeys + spend money
Therefore , from postulates 1 and 2,
We can conclude,
Man + Woman = 2 Donkeys that live happily together!

Bank Account: Story Posted by Chinnu
She is a 92 years old, petite, well-poised, and proud lady. She is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coiffed, and her makeup perfectly applied, in spite of the fact she is legally blind. Today she has moved to a nursing home.
Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making this move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, where I am employed, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet curtains that had been hung on her window.
"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an having just been presented with a new puppy.
"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room ... just wait," I said. Then she spoke these words that I will never forget.
"That does not have anything to do with it," she gently replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not does not depend on how the furniture is arranged. It is how I arrange my mind. I have already decided to love it.
It is a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice. I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or I can get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do work.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I will focus on the new day and all of the happy memories I have stored away just for this time in my life.'
Life is like a bank account. You withdraw from it what you have already put in.
