We the moderns claim that no two individuals are alike. No two persons' goals are necessarily the same. 'Singularity' is precious. Without getting to the philosophical issues, I would like to raise some questions that can be raised from the experiences of our life world.
The claim is that we live in a world where one's individuality is abolished with the arrival of machines, particularly computer. – my handwriting is
gone… along with all others’.
- People all over the world write the same
way. They look beautiful … to look different everyone chooses different fonts, size etc.[but one chooses only from what is given.] Everything is ‘even’, ‘the same,’ same curves,
same size – does this mean beautiful? Uniformity is only one aspect of beauty?
Is not it? It is very hard to see where I have fallen, and where I made a mistake.
There is nothing in my paper like this. Does it mean that I never make a mistake? Am I perfect? It only seems that nobody in the world makes anymore mistakes. Or Is everything that is uttered considered to be right? Everybody is perfect. Everybody writes the same way. What a world is this? - Indians are often seen to be people falling into what is called 'popular culture'. They often show the western world to be a model how everyone thinks and acts on his own. But the pop-culture, running after the celebrities, following and craving for the look of the celebrities is much stronger in the Western countries although variations can be there. while on the one side I claim to be unique and set my life on my way, I only choose to go along with others who have the same liking...
