Very soon, I will have my personal webpage that will embed services provided by social networks, messengers, blogs and photo galleries apart from the usual content I will have on my webpage. (I need to write another one on Social Networks!) It will be very easy for anyone to spend some time on my 'webpresence' and get a fairly good idea of everything (abstract or otherwise) that belongs to me. There will be a whole new semantic web infrastructure where it will become almost necessary for everyone to have a unique web id.
This will lead to many unforseen repercussions, I imagine. A whole new field consisting of sociology, technology and psychology will emerge that will study the implications and consequences of this new way of living. New behavioural disorders will be identified and peculiar ways to combat them willo be sought! Overall, people will be kept busy. New occupations and new challenges will emerge.
Will all this be a boon or bane for our society? Today's already stressed youth who is managing myriads of cognitive processes will be exposed to many more brought about by technological as well as technologically induced factors. Some people will become even more effective than others, I presume, thus more widening the gap of equanimity and homogeneity!
What do you think all this will lead to?

Pandemonium!! I guess we'll hv a wider gap between the Sauravs who would talk about technologically induced myriad cognitive processes and Anurags who would fail to fathom the repurcussions.
Keep the blog rolling..you keep coming up with some really valid thoughts. I said 'some' because I can't get my cognitive thought process aligned sometimes :(
