I have been a part of the new media when there was no such thing as new media. It was early 2000. It was called the information super highway. Very few newspapers or corporations had their own websites or internet presence. I have been finding friends over the internet before Mark Zuckerberg founded facebook through, now primitive, chat. It was the time of ICQ and Yahoo public rooms. I have seen the internet grow from a rather oneway communication platform to an almost 360 degree platform, from HTML sites to rich media sites. Accessed internet on immovable heavy computers as well as suave Iphones and Ipads and androids. The progress has indeed been remarkable. It almost scares and thrills me at the same time to know how fast internet has taken over our daily lives. From almost non existent online lifestyle back in 90s, now I spend 90 % of the waking hours on the internet connected. I get twitter beeps in my mobile phone while skying (attempting to ski) in Manali valley while my wife sat on a rock updating her office mails on her enterprise mobile.

Academically also i am not a dwarf, if not a giant. I have masters in Economics and an advance diploma in Business Management. After floating over the new media for the past 9 years, the internet thrills me if not kills me. It has been one my greatest achievement that i could chose a career that would eventually make me a new media specialist. I sincerely believe that the more experienced and learned i become, the more i will have opinions and viewpoints to share with you all wonderful people who would kill and die for the internet.
