The Internet- A Poem

A place that asks in binary and answers through Google,
Where there is no STD, and everything's local
That chomps in Bytes and gulps in Kilobytes,
When added with 1024 becomes a Megabyte.
It handles Gigabytes and Terabytes.
And is presently preparing for Petabytes.
It's by your side and by my side,
With 1.7 billion users worldwide.
It is predicted to go 5 billion by 2020,
So, guess where would they play and where would we watch the next ICC WT20?

It has e-mailing and e-shopping,
E-ticketing and e-learning.
It is convenient and home-based,
Where you can walk with shoes unlaced.
It is noiseless and spaceless,
But still, boundless!
It has answers to everything,
From "how to cook?" to "how to sing?"

It is constructive and self-instructive,
Witty and cooperative.
It is intelligent and reasonable,
And seldom arguable.
It has precision and location,
To steer you upto your destination.
It is multidisciplinary,
From child to adult, the uses vary.

It is table-sized and pocket-sized,
User friendly and affordably priced.
It has libraries and classrooms,
Un-weded brides and grooms.
It works from rooftops and basements,
And remains functional even in toilets.
It doesn't mind you taking it places,
And displays the same result for all ages.

A virtual place or call it another home,
It is one place where all acquaintances roam.
It has Facebook and Twitter,
With round the clock chitter-chatter.
If you're in the mood to study,
There are a hundred tech sites ready.
If you're in a lighter mood,
There is hilarious comic food.

Name any course and you have it on COURSERA,
Ask any question and get it answered on QUORA.
Make any payment with the help of a click,
Or shop anything in a flick.
Book a hotel even before you reach,
Or order pizza on a sunny beach.
Learn a language on DUOLINGO,
Or even better, learn how to read body language on BLIFALOO.

When you're free try ENGINEERING.COM,
Or when you're done try INSPIRATION.COM
At times when you are low, tap WANNASMILE.COM
And when you're high, hit SOBER.COM
Furthermore, for reasons left few...
There's always your favourite TORRENTZ.EU
