Internet is the most used product at this point of our lives. It has surpassed our physical proximal interaction with our people, our food and even our worlds; but at the same time, it has also increased our virtual interaction with things. In the era of augmented reality and Artificial intelligence, the most haunting realization could be that all the people we text, all the pictures we see, all the realities we live and all the worlds we dwell in could all be a lie. Amid this daunting idea of reality in the 21st century, what still keeps us real is the art- the art that appeals to one’s mind and soul, and at the same time to the masses, must be conserved.
Internet of Beings is inspired by the concept of Internet of things (IoT). It is 2020 and I can not fathom how far we have come. You peep through the window of your device and you can not remotely make sense of how unimaginably surreal this invention has been. I was a kid and I saw the globe and I thought to myself, ‘the world is massive’. Today, as I scroll my Instagram feed, I could only assimilate how internet has shrunk our worlds into this network of opportunities.
Longfellow said “Art is long and time is fleeting”; every human has so many different emotions embedded deep in itself, and how it decides to express its art is its own, which means the ways of expressing oneself multiply exponentially each and every second. Every thought becomes an idea, an idea an art, an art becomes craft and emotions can earn you a livelihood, suddenly. Back then, it was so bizarre to even wonder that people will be willing to pay you just to find a part of them in you; as if they are looking for a gratification of finding out that they are not alone, they are not the only ones in this- we’re all together. If my blog could speak, Internet of Beings would shout “we’re all in this, together, big time!”.
