The Internet is here to stay. Things will never go back to where they were. And it is wonderful to be able to share your work, see what others are doing and make friends in discussion forums where people share the same interests. The latest craze now is 'blogging.' There're also Internet sales on Ebay and other places like it. So much can be done that couldn't be done before. But it is a double-edged sword.
The Internet can rob you of a couple of very important things. One is time. You can spend a lot of time there, maintaining your own site, searching and viewing others' sites, not to mention auctions and discussion forums. It can become yet another thing that one uses to avoid going to work.
The other thing it can rob you of is reality. Internet friendships are not real. They must not take the place of real people and real friends in your life. Relying too much on the Internet should not become a substitute for living a real life with real people.We do need to minimize the effect of the big players who would attempt to exercise control over this technological medium.
Fortunately the Internet itself makes such neutralizing control easier for the small guy to achieve.
The ABG Concept (Sharing)
We should break away from the "mine business", which mean an evironment where global members selfishly guard their knowledge and expertise from each other.
Instead of trying to outdo each other, we should be sharing such knowledge for members to benefit. We should learn from what Indonesian call ABG or Anak Baru Gede. (Gede = Besar) ABG means maturing children who have no qualms about sharing everything.The ABG Concept can be applied to technology development, wealth development etc. where every members provide support and share the responsibilities together. So, applying ABG Concept (sharing) is KEY TO SUCCESS!
