Free Information / Free Knowledge…
Forums / Blogs / User Groups / Discussion Board, they are all were made and boomed because of the fact, source of free information / free knowledge…
Today was a real disappointment for me… From a very known and active forum of Indian technological youth, I saw no one believed in providing or sharing the information, free…
Just think for your self, why are you here, reading this ??
It is because you are here with intentions to learn some thing to gain knowledge for free… When you want to learn some thing about computers or any thing, you always have an professional option to learn from a professional…
This is where the idea of user groups came in to the picture… Forums / Blogs / Discussion Boards all were meant to share information and that too for free…
Where as now I suddenly realise that, not any more… People are too much worried about Plagiarism, every one wants to have a back link or Credit on sharing information… Information is no longer free though we all claiming to provide it free in our blogs and forums or in discussion board…
The idea is simple, unless you can credit me, you are now welcome to learn, because if I learn, I will implement it… Implementation is the only reason for which I am learning, and when I implement the technique, which I have learnt from a blog or forum, it is possible that some one standing beside me is learning too, so now as the information is no long free, I have to repay which I learnt, by mean of mentioning the original source by browsing the Internet to come a the blog or forum from where I learnt…
The idealism now have changed !!! Which is so disappointing…
The reason I started foruming of bloging is to share information for free, because when I was in my early life with computers, I saw I had to pay to over come certain problems with my computer or how did i use a software or a device… I was cheated many times because of lack of information regarding certain products and techniques !!!
I am no god, I cant reach out for all the people over there in the Internet like me facing problems… but at-least I can share what ever little knowledge I have with what ever little number I can reach out too…
Bloging / foruming is what i do after talking time off from my delay routine with just that goal of sharing information, free information…
Didn’t I expected some thing in return from my blogs or forums ??
What I expected in return is that many be this will encourage others to follow and share their expertise which in terms to day has totally proven wrong…
Its 100% part from me who believes charging for information whom ever I have asked I have got the same reply !!! Information is now, no longer free….
At-least in my blog, I have decided to put up a notice… What ever you are reading or learning at ChotoCheeta.com, is free content… Completely free, its free knowledge, you are welcome to share / re-distribute with any one you like by any mean you like…
