From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity

Serendipity is when someone finds something that they weren’t expecting to find. The word has been voted as one of the ten English words that were hardest to translate [...] In the simplest of words, it means a “happy accident”.

That’s exactly what happened to me when I started using PCs and other communication devices: I thought it was nothing more than a game and now I am living on it.
