The Game Of Connectivity

1. A computer game, first programmed in 1985.

For all those who are into technology, one thing can be said you should all know the one and only game named “Tetris”. If it weren’t for the man who came up with such an ingenious game, Alexey Pajitnov, what would all people around the world do when in need for procrastinating? Yes there is facebook, myspace and bebo, but even facebook has the Tetris application. In fact if it weren’t for that great application what would I have done in my spare time during the HSC? STUDY??!?! (Yeah right)
But what should be brought to your attention is something more superior and of more complexity involved to just what one may think such a straight forward game.

Life is such a complicated thing, to the extent where at times it is too hard to grasp and understand, however, a mate of mine, Daniel, found an easy way to comprehend it.

So what is the mystery to that famous question that knows one is unable to answer…simple the meaning to life is “TETRIS”. Yes you did read correctly blogers, “TETRIS” is in fact the meaning to life, or at least it holds the secret to the meaning of life and how the world works.

How?!?!? May be the question on your lips…well easy take each block for instance, each is different in their own way, due to colour, shape and size. So are human beings, no two are alike. Furthermore each block has a purpose within the game. Without a certain block being positioned in a certain way, one is unable to push forward in the game. Humans are the same. One may think that they can do everything themselves, but at the end of the day need the aid of others in order to triumph in their life, and hence reach the next level in their lives.
Levels; anyone who has played the game would know that there are levels within Tetris. The better you are the higher you get, and the more challenging the game gets. Life funnily enough, has the same concept. As an individual progresses day to day challenges arise. Like the certain piece one need in order to complete the line…there are certain tasks needed to complete in order to overcome the particular challenge.

Each colour of the blocks are different, but have you ever pondered why? The most obvious inside the box answer would be so as to differentiate where each block should go and how blocks the same colour have the same shape, however, if colour blind that would not be of any help. The outside the box answer would be that each colour represents a race within the world. And each race has a purpose here on earth. Without one or the other there would be no equilibrium.

Thus through such a simple ingenious game, one is able to seek all the answers they need in regards to life. And so I end it at this the secret to life is merely a game, simple yet affective, this game acts as a metaphor for what life and the world really means. Life is merely a game with many challenges. At the end of the day it is really down to you to conquer the level and move on to the next challenge put in front of you.
