How To Make A Romantic Tale Out Of Using A Search Engine
From vinay:
Can ads make one cry? Can stories make men, as well as women, feel so much empathy that tears roll down their cheeks? I have been asked why advertisements were included as part of romanticist art in the penned document above. Can an ad contain a the full structure of a romanticist story--a human being with an unfulfilled want, who, triggered by an exogenous event, decides to do something about it (Act I rolls into Act II), does something about it (Act II), setting up a climax that induces an Aristotelian ('Poetics') catharsis? This Reunion ad (sorry, some of you may have already seen it), which has its own Wikipedia entry, is testament to possible affirmative answers to the three questions asked above. And yet, they are just selling us a product, a technological marvel called a search engine. Even the Left cannot dislike the commercialization here. The context is the aftermath of the British India partition into an Islamic state and a secular state, but you hardly need to know it; the raw emotions convey the story.

Just...thank you.

My experience of using search engines has failures as well as successes,
previous generations could barely imagine a tool of such power.
As for the partition of India- half a million dead, the Islamic state of Pakistan, nuclear armed and semi-bankrupt, refuge and supporter of terrorism, etc. A global disaster.
