NEW WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS
VOCABULARY
PHRASES
Robert Delamar
Like Malachi, I am struggling to understand what the new world of interconnected bits and bytes means. Id have to agree with him that if anything, its rather odd.
I had firsthand experience of the weirder side of the Internet a few weeks ago.
Into my email inbox arrived a letter:
Dear Robert,
Greetings from the Philippines! Hi You mite be surprised where did I get your email address, anyway, I have nothing to do here in the office and suddenly it impressed into my mind to type my name in Yahoo search engine. I was surprised to know that I have a same name in the Internet, btw, Im Robert Delamar, 29, Bacolod City, Philippines, working as a Computer instructor in St. Johns Institute. Robert, I tried visiting your website, what is it all about? (just asking) Till here ... God bless! Robert Delamar
I couldnt resist, so I sent a reply. It turns out that my alter ego, Robert C. Delamar, is a pretty nice guy. He was as baffled as I was that another person shared his name. A Caucasian fellow living on the other side of the world in Canada.
When I was a kid I wondered what it would be like to be born in a different culture, to be of a different ethnicity. Thanks to the Internet, weeks shy of my twenty-fifth birthday, I found the answer.
Robert Delamar also exists in the Philippines. Asian, not bad looking. Curious about himself and the world. He enjoys writing random emails to strangers in foreign countries when he doesnt have much to do at the office.
Not that different from the Canadian version.
Timothy Leary
Malachi has no concept of what the Internet is, and yet he exists on it. I had no idea that someone else in the world shared my name, now thanks to the Internet I do. These realities fall within the realm of odd or weird tales from the birth of the Internet generation. Yet, the Internet is more than odd or weird, it is often bizarre.
