Discomgoogolation

Do u know wat I’m talking about?

If u donno ur probably thinking, well..it has google n wats new about google..Chrome..so it must be something about Chrome that every1 seems to be raving about…..

Discomgoogolation has nothing to do with Chrome. But yes Chrome is super cool, I installed it yesterday n am lovin it….mite bid good-bye to I.E. except some websites don’t work on chrome…(oops I’m digressing)

Discomgoogolation is a problem that internet addicts could be suffering from. It is a feeling of distress and anxiety when one can’t access the internet.

2-3 months back I would have been sure that I’m suffering from this thing..(bored to type that long word again, n I cant seem to remember the spelling!) But the good news is that I may not be…n I know that, ‘coz I didn’t have a need to check blogs, emails, orkut or do anything else on the web during my vacation in India. Its only when I’m at home (here in the US) or I’m at work that I have this desperate need for the internet! So, could have the problem partially!

Are u suffering from discomgoogolation??( phew!last time im typing that word!) . I wonder why its such a complicated name, like they wanted to make sure no one remembers it n also, wonder why they dragged google(..goog..) into it….

P said...

Thanks for teaching a new term.

Regarding me, when I am bored then I keep surfing the net aimlessly and check mail etc. hundred times, but I can still control it when I want to (like on vacations or when I have serious deadlines at work). So I think I am only at a recoverable stage of the addiction :)

Neetal said...

Oh yes, I definitely suffer from discomgoogolation. I don't even remember the time when I did things without the internet. I am addicted for life!

cm chap said...

Pavi. Hats off. you exactly reflected my mind.. very often I wonder why this Fill that word.dunno the spellg happens?

Yes when I'm in India I dnt miss it. But when I travel abroad I cant live without Internet I go crazy.

I guess may be bcoz we all long for home & try to touch base with ppl regularly.
