Visual cues, anyone? [Part 6]
Long time ago, we lived in a world that felt promising. Everything was new. Fast forward to now, everything feels old. Technology is bending over backwards to impress us but we move on from one wonder to another, one feature to another, one device to another, within a jiffy. Humans can literally fly now—boosted by jet suits, obviously—and there are talks about flying cars in the making. The point being, we are fast embracing the world we aren’t familiar with, and most probably, won’t ever be familiar with, but we are already bored. It’s unfortunate how, captivated by the charm of the internet, we have lost the power of awe. Hardly anything makes us drop our jaws anymore. Barely a century ago, there were people who couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw an airplane fly, let alone, bomb their shelters. Today, we effortlessly have like the worst spoilt brats of all time.
Anyway, there is a reason why you are reading this particular blogpost today—against all odds, if I may add—and I am glad to share that there is always hope. We, the humourous ones, will find ways to be astonished. Even the smallest of wonders are bound to keep us engaged. Why so? Because we already know that there is a lot that remains undiscovered, unread, untouched and unappreciated. We seek them and every once in a while, they greet us too.
In today’s edition of visual cues—the previous one was posted 6 months ago—we will go through some of the collectibles: words, images, and probably much more. And we will check whether something impresses us deeply.
