Wreck of the Titan or FUTILITY, A book written about Titanic before it sank

There was actually a book written about the sinking of the Titanic, 14 years before it actually sank.

Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan is an 1898 novella written by Morgan Robertson. He was an author with a passion for the sea. In a 1905 review of his work, THE NEW YORK TIMES referred to Mr. Robertson admiringly as the “Kipling of the Sea” .The story features the ocean liner Titan, which sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking have been noted to be very similar to the real-life passenger ship RMS Titanic, which sank fourteen years later. Following the wreck the novel was reissued with some changes, particularly in the ship's gross tonnage.
In 1912, the publisher hastily repackaged the book and retitled it “FUTILITY, OR THE WRECK OF THE TITAN.” In the wake of the real-life tragedy, the book was a sudden hit, and the biggest success of Mr. Robertson’s career. Mr. Robertson died just a few years later on March 24, 1915.

What if, there was no Google.....

Can you imagine what the world would be like if Google didn't exist? Or even better, the correct question should be where the world would be if Google was not there.

It's hard to say exactly how the world would look without Google,which is the world's most frequently visited Web site.. May be everyone would go back to libraries and encyclopedias to get the required information , they would remember the routes or find out the address asking people who comes on the way..

Interesting things in 90s

In those days,
Apple , Blackberry just meant fruits to us. :P

Kids nowadays get confused in choosing among I phone and BlackBerry...
When we were kids we used to get confused in choosing among boomer and Big babool ;)

Conversation meant two people sit down and talk about random stuff, face to face. They used to  " talk " with their friends.. but today , they "chat/message/ping". To be more clear, It used to be Life without cell phones, notifications and LIKES on facebook. Those generation kids had a real life and today's kids got a life and that too for candy crush saga...!!!

We miss the time when games like cricket or football were played in the field and not on the computer / mobile( candy crush, temple rush etc) and last but the least......Peace Of Mind.... which we surely miss these days..!!!

There are many things from 90's that I miss......
Start...Stop :P

Origin of SMS language :P and basic abbreviations

Want to know the origin of SMS language? :p
Fine, let us consider the below two statements...
1. 140 characters limit
2. 140 crctrs lmt
Option 2 gives same information as opt1.. But, 
in 20% less characters and 
in 12 clicks (on T9 keypad) which is lesser than Option 1
with zero concern about spellings and 
just a little idea of English phonetics would help you understand the message.

Use of Function keys

You might be Using Windows since long time but i am sure majority of you guys don’t know all the features and Uses of F1-F12 keys on your keyboard.

F1 key:
F1 key almost everywhere is used for “Help”

F2 key:
Rapidly rename the chosen file or folder.

What is time?


Is it just ticking of clock? But what is that clocks are measuring?
What we know about TIME is an hour consists of a certain number of minutes, a day of hours and a year of days. But we rarely think about the fundamental nature of time.
