The world of Geeks!

This one comes to my mind from what happened yesterday. A fellow geeky friend of mine suddenly asked me if I could allow him access to my system for a minute or so. I knew he wanted to get a feel of a computer running Windows Vista and probably see what I was doing with it!
Well yeah of course I know what one can do in that time but this was a genuine honest request from a friend who's been living without a computer for quite some time now. Poor fellow sits at office after work to let his mind satiate its intellectual desires.
So I decided to play Mr Nice and allowed him access using a Remote Support Software (e.g. VNC, LogMeIn, XpressRemote etc) and gave him 20 seconds!
And when he finally got in, I could sense the pleasure he derived...it was like a small little baby playing with a toy he loves, looking around in all awe and veneration. He loved the changes Vista brings with itself and then when I unfurled a few tucks from the corners and showed him the devices connected all he could exclaim was "Come on now, that's show off!"
Yeah that's really show off, in the world of Geeks Computer Hardware is something to show off, Operating Systems or Applications are "SEXY", they can be used to induce jealousy!
Whoa! The world we live in is so ruled by machines...
I wonder if the modern interpretations of the Apocalypse prophecy would actually come true one day...something that we saw in the Terminator series of movies.
