I don't know if it's just me but I have developed this new kind of syndrome lately. I can't go through a day without reading at least 50 e-mails. Now, you might be wondering what the big deal is. But I'm the kind of guy who never used to deal with emails until I joined the software industry recently. Every single day, I come to office and switch on my computer and see that there are about 200 new e-mails to be read. I have always wondered why people sit in trains, buses, coffee shops and even shopping malls looking at their laptops and reading e-mails. I thought they were pretending to be some kind of cool people who form the high class of society and can afford to buy laptops and show off. Why would you come to a mall to read mails? Unfortunately, now I know. It's addictive(And I kept myself away from alcohol and cigarettes all my life). Does it make you look cool? I don't know. What will you think of a guy sitting in a train reading mails on his laptop and replying to it using his blackberry. I guess you will have some sort of respect for him assuming he might be a very important man in whatever he does. Who else would have a blackberry with them? Or do you think I should get therapy?
