The Cerebro

It's an easy enough job to make a blog; Search Google and start writing. With the knowledge of simple English, the art of expression was never made simpler. It is, as of now, the most straight-forward, slick and simple(I'm out of synonyms here) means to put out(no pun) whatever's on your mind. Its a freedom of its own kind, a sort of liberty given to one's mind to communicate with everyone else in a way where one is not looking to attract any kind of special attention, but just trying to be a part of something bigger. It allows the person reading the blog to join a venture that may lead to a great destination, but which may also be a source of much hyped disappointment. In addition, the independence of oration and one of comprehension of the same along with the feedback received forms a huge vicious circle. The person may choose to interpret these comments as critique or criticism. Yes, contrary to popular belief, they are very dissimilar acts.
 
Looking at the bigger picture, when we imagine the internet, the image formed-however wild or brutish-(in our brains) is one to behold...For me, I see a huge ball, with scales of net-like substance spreading its reach far and wide all over it, covering every latitude and longitude(if I now compare it to our the planet).. An impression of a trap takes over, where the reaches of this substance is pulling and catching into itself new inhabitants from far reaching societies and the remotest of areas. Every time a fresh acquisition is made into this "web", imagine an illumination seen, with a streak of light passing onward from thereon in;connecting together, every little sparkler present on the grid, link by link. It's reaches are now so extensive, a very minimal amount of isolated and basic-amenities-deprived people are the ones left behind. Needless to say, each link made on this grid enables every patron of the World Wide Web to broaden the reaches of his ideas to almost all literates across the globe.

In an X & Y set of paragraphs one should be aware, that without a (constant), unwavering fact, the final equation, which is the reason why you are reading this, is quite incomplete.Further, now that the big secret is out that this, infact,  is an equation, the answer lies in a not so tedious amalgam of the two. For anyone who's seen, followed, known, read, or is just aware of the existence of the X-men, i would like to relate to one of the important objects used in the series. This gigantic round figure, which you were kind enough to imagine alongside me, confining on itself all kinds of connecting wires, which helps to acquaint every other man, woman, child or dog on each and every social networking site present on its vast vessel of websites, is, for me, the most  basic version of Dr.Hank's Cerebro, a great machine designed in order to help locate other mutants amongst us normal & lesser gifted humans. The word "Cerebro" is actually Spanish for "Brain", and I believe that this information may just allow you to accommodate the image of the hugely connected and wired up figure of the internet. If  I may ask, imagine yourself to be a point on this grid and then just think of the power that is now at your disposal. You should realize now how easy it is to locate lost friends, catch up on old mates, or even hack into the ones ignoring you or being satirical towards you. Being pragmatic, you may see it as the worst distraction of its kind. It wastes time, gives you reasons to waste time, though makes you feel better after feeling guilty of wasting time(YouTube), etc and which actually covers only the tip of the, well, not dung heap, but surely a heap of "What If?'s".

Coming back to the positives though, for me, it's been a very helpful tool. Even though I've been a little late in realizing it, but my personal "Cerebro" allows me to finally extend my reach and make it large. By 'it' here, I refer to the fact of making a change. Making a stand. Using the resources at hand to finally let everyone know what goes on inside this skull of mine. Every idea, every solution to every problem I have formed inside my head is now for everyone to see and make use of in any-which-way. But then,  its not just all about me you know. After all, anyone out there is just as capable of clicking their mouse a few times and setting up a Cerebro for themselves. And this is how we are all gifted a complete platform of accomplishing at least a fraction of Professor Charles Xavier's powers;{who(James McAvoy), in my opinion, deserves an Oscar for his performance in X-Men:First Class}It's up to everyone of the sparkler's on how it chooses to make use of this infinite power of communication available to it. After all, such is the vastness of the diversity of the use of the biggest mix-up in our world: The Internet. 'Coz, frankly,  if it wasn't mixed-up, any kind of interaction, comprising of anything and everything in its entirety, would lose all meaning. I guess, due to our unintentional ignorance of said power, we are still surprised, when an completely unknown creature knocks up on your profile and wants to make "fraandship" just because you made the mistake of landing on the same continent as him, as to how in world did even get to your profile.

Beginnings are always supposed to be hard. Not for me. I've known this for quite sometime now. And since now I'm no longer a part of the 'ignorant' lot, I want to use my gift of exchange of ideas to know just how far I can go, how much I'm capable of in the field writing, when confidence, and the small matter of a writer's block, are no longer direct signals of my impeding doom.
