It all starts with a query, a search for something, something essentially not important yet sought eagerly. And then after google shows the first ten results, there are options. But what follows after this is a chain reaction. A markov process depending on only one previous state, a control system with one memory unit like the google's random surfer jumping from one page to another randomly. But even these simplistic models can not capture the effect of branching aka "Open in new Tab". The best and the worst functionality.
Today morning, it started with a search of "raag bhatiyar". And one of the results was this blog page. Impressed by this post, i started on a ride, to see what other things has he written. One of the things that hooked me was the collection of the greatest dumbest celebrity lines. And so on and on....
Scientist are trying to study how people use internet, how do people meet in social networks, what friendships mean in virtual world etc etc but their research is plagued by non-availability of data. In my case, i have observed this phenomenon several times with high frequency too but still a unable to come up with a valid explanation. Why is it that i dont find time to complete my exercises but still have time to go on these odysseys. And now comes the recursive argument: How do i have time to even write a blog post on this insane phenomenon.
Now that i have exhibited recursion in my argument, i feel satiated.
