IT'S NOT ALL THAT DARK
-
An average person using a computer along with an Internet connection can get access to a hell lot of information. Yet, there exists an entire world, which is unseen by your daily web browser.
Those hidden areas of the Internet are known as the Dark Web. Still it is not difficult to access the tools you can use to get to the deep web. Nowadays, more and more people want to use the Web secretly by signing in.
All the ‘House of Cards’ fans may be able to recall the Deep Web used into the plot of one of the seasons. The character named Lucas, who is a newspaper editor by profession, was trying to find a hacker. And he gets a little crash course from one of his reporters as follows: About ninety-six percent of the Internet cannot be accessed through standard search engines. Although the majority of it is useless, this is the place where you go if you want to find anything of everything: Bitcoin laundry, narcotics, child porn, and hackers for hire ...
Leading researchers believe that the show got it almost right. However, they should have shown a clear difference between what’s called the Deep Web and what the Darknet sites are.
Simply put, the Deep Web is anything that is not accessible through the standard, commercial search engines.

NOKIA 6600 THE SILVER EGG
I still remember that day as if it were yesterday. I must have been 12 or 13, standing in a small mobile recharge shop in my hometown in India. I was waiting for the shopkeeper to top up my dad's number on his black-and-white Nokia 3310. Then the door opened, a man walked in, and I suddenly heard music. Real song. A full Hindi song, which I think was \"Khaike Paan Banaras Wala\", came pouring out of his pocket. I snapped my head around so quickly that I almost hurt my neck.
