incidentally, a few years ago i was in khajuraho, and was amazed to
see children from nearby villages saving precious rupees so they could
pay rs 15 or whatever it was, to surf the web from a cybercafe in the
town. i peered over their shoulders for the five or six days i stayed
there, and noticed these children (and even adults) would surf for
anything but poPcORN.
very interesting.
leads me to conduct a thought-experiment:
if we erected khajuraho temples in every town and city of the world,
the current huge load of internet traffic and clogging for such
material would just disappear. even more importantly, it would be
fascinating to study what the vast majority of people would love to
surf for, in their spare time.
