[icernet] There is `e' everywhere

[Arul Selvan]

Of the many wonders of information technology, none is more impressive 
than the prominence acquired by the little unassuming letter `e'. Until 
about 20 years ago, books for nursery classes, had only the picture of 
an elephant or egg associated with it. Nowadays, just the act of 
prefixing it to a verb or noun conjures up vistas of conquest of domains 
hitherto thought to be out of the purview of humans. Indeed, it has 
become universally fashionable to prefix it with anything that catches 
one's fancy. Its evolution into playing a powerful and ubiquitous role 
has been nothing short of amazing.
