A blog that renders the perspective of a Muslim Egyptian guy living on planet Earth, who believes that Imagination is more important than knowledge, yet the possession of knowledge dose not kill the sense of wonder! In a nutshell: "I wonder therefore I am"Back to the Future!
October 4, 2008 | 2:32 amDespite being born in 1977, I discovered that I’m not born yet! So how this dilemma exists? The answer is simple and has nothing to do with Science Fiction: we are living in a Wild World where Impossible is nothing 
Okay! Seriously, it’s all about not being virtually born in the year 2001 according to Google; as on the occasion of celebrating their 10th anniversary, they placed the indexed 2001 database online for searching and I proudly didn’t find myself their! 
The amazing thing is that ‘googling’ through the database revealed that our mundane online services such as -social networking communities- haven’t even existed yet; something that makes me wonder about the shape of the virtual world before 2001; seems there was no survivals 
Now before you leave to check the database, I’m complaining: shall I wait for Google’s 15th anniversary to see my virtual birth, and the 20th anniversary to see my existence on the Internet? 
C’Mon, Google!
C’est la vie mesdames et monsieurs!

Hmmmm-I need to check this out and see if I have been born yet. The internet sure has changed the world. Like your cat picture.
Its amazing to see how much the online world has changed in 7 years.
We can only imagine to see what it will be like in another 7 years
Wow. If only. If I could be zero today and still know everything I know now that would ROCK. I’d like my 18 year old body back though…
@ heidi: Indeed internet had changed the world. Anyway better check and I think you’ll join the club. Prrr (for the picture)
@ Phone Number: Yeah and I think before even they pass, many things seems to be in their way to change.
@ Julie: Ah the Utopian dream of not growing older! Anyway I think that aging is not merely by age but by how much we know and I’ve elaborated this over the post “Grow Up”
p.s. Women stop aging @ 21 :s
Curiosity killed the cat:))) Will go and check if I have already been born or no. Thank you for sharing the DB!
@ Polina: Vito! the cat is yawning, purring and commenting over yours :S
I wasn’t born in that time also
. It is amazing thing to see how things have be changed since 2001 and back. Thanks Google for giving such a interesting opportunity. And happy anniversary to them.
@ Christine Web: Indeed; I googled the database and was amazed too and welcome to the club of awaiting moderation to be born :S
Its scary thinking about what the future is going to be like in 10 years. I checked out that Google tool the other day and it was amazing how rubbish it was! I couldnt even find my own name!! Thank goodness they have sorted it out since then
@ Web Design Sussex: Indeed and I also wonder how it’ll be like after 1 year not only 10 because the rate of change is accelerating!
interesting
thanks, i bookmarked
I know that I am alive in spite of the fact you are talking about!
@ Web Tasarımı: Thanks a lot
@ Numark: That’s great!
Google has come a long way but still has so much more that it can offer. Sometimes I find the search engine to still be really un-predictable!
Atleast Google is better than Cuil which offered Total Barfed results I must say
@ christine web: i agree to that
i agree to what @ numark said
at times I have the same feeling as you do, and in regards to SE’s, handy mostly, but hate it when they try to be kings..
Thanks for sharing that link – pretty cool! It shows that my site was already in existence:
http://web.archive.org/web/20011216211953/www.thecatsite.com/
But of course, that index is from 2001, and not from ten years ago (which would have been 1998). Nice looking at the site in the wayback machine…. Much more content and livelier color scheme today, IMO.
I am still wrapping my head around what you are saying exactly but, interesting to see that old Google screen. Looks kind of dull really.
Will be coming back to this blog… keep up thee good work.
I agree with Numark also, great blog
Hmmm am I here then? Now you made me wonder
@Julie: If you had the choice of stopping your aging process, how would you know when to stop it? How do you know when you are at your “peak”?
world changes. People hearts also changes. Who know, we can create time machine in future? who know..
What a great idea!..Hopefully soon I want to be a Great man and a rich one, that could buy what I want in life.
Did you hear that Google now can search the audio in video files? If Google is doing this I am sure they will eventually archive all that has ever existed in writing.
This would include the history of snow sleds handwritten by the great Brice Hoskin and Mr. Yu. So many writings exist in the Library of Congress that Google needs to index for all the world to see. One day this will happen.
I’m already addicted to the Wayback Machine, so thanks for adding something to my online obsessive researching.
On a serious note, it is amazing how much the internet has expanded and how the importance of an online presence has expanded over the past seven years.
I always feel confused about such topic.
I often wonder why I can’t understand those Science Fictions people love so much.
it is very nice to stay here you will learn more things.
Just had to leave my 2 cents worth…
This blog entry just made me think about how at high school we studied “Computer Studies” where we learnt how many bits in a byte… and so on! The internet didn’t even exist! (that was approx 15 years ago).
Then at Uni studying design, we had computers and studied graphics and “interative” design… but still no internet/web design!
Then only a year after graduation (approx 8 years ago), I needed to teach myslef web as all of a sudden it was OBVIOUS that the internet was going to be the next big thing! It’s insane how huge it all became… but a beautiful thing at the same time!
Forgot to mention… LOVE YOUR CAT PICTURE!
interesting, now no one can kill me
how can you kill someone who wasn’t born 
nice headline “back to the future”
