Did u ever think about this tool that you sit and use everyday?what makes the internet what defines one kilobito where is this value stored that we cant see and why dont you see these notes flying past your everyday existance?my strange love affair with this medium started 12 years ago as a hip hopper that wanted to read more about the scene to have information at my disposal,well it started on a 56k modem damn how annoying was dailup but how beautiful was this tool.i believe he who holds information have a edge in life.well years passed the excitement of checking out the first porn site faded and speed were upped.my journey widened and i became a broadcaster of some sort holding keys to several doors and mesmerising this digital planet.i was just thinking about it how it seems mr gates is losing his hold on this brilliant IT world i think it started losing that power when he and several others tried to dictate a medium that was to be free for all,well you might say he got billions etc etc but that money doesnt contain i believe what he seeks you can only have so much then what?well i might be just a blogger but i have the ability to steer and redirect a nation of bloggers to a whole new space that could possibly change the existance of mankind forever.why did sites like facebook change the frontier of the movement?well they allowed everybody to be a part of change instead of trying to steer the ship alone.twelve years ago i was a geek for sitting on a pc and reading words that someone else typed 10000 miles away today it seems everybody followed my path to become that geek.i just typed a note in html script im posting it via my mobile who in turn sends out gprs signals that transmits to a server that takes these keystrokes and transforms it to a webpage that is then viewed by some eyes who wanders in search of reading material!dont u think that is brilliant?Now im not sitting at Stanford or Harvard yet but i realised twelve years ago i had the ability to capture a audience and transmit my thoughts my ideas and my images to these selective listerners.now u could say thats easy i can do that the question is do u have the patience could u intrigue minds and ears to come back to that space that you created and could you excite them to come back for more episodes?People really take note of this shit you write believe me,walking down melrose avenue 2004 minding my business just a uneducated african on another continent i realised this medium is gigantic,imagine walking into Fatbeats one of hip hops most known vinyl stores and someone coming up to you and saying HEY I KNOW YOU? NO you dont know me im not from here! YOU from AFRICA.Thats Bananas YO
