Some people are like small animals or little children, especially when it comes to technology and science. They seem to require constant supervision, hand-holding or guidance whenever they are near a computer, smartphone or any other modern appliance or gadget.

Surprisingly today when I updated my version of Notepad++, I observed a programmed context which surfaced word by word. That is, I saw invisible hands typing some words shown in the screenshot and quoted below: Freedom of expression is like the air we breathe, we don’t feel it, until people take it away from us.
