In the past two decades we had found that there is a remarkable change in the global world and our nation is also affected by it. If you are near about age of 30 or above then you can easily understand the differences that we saw and deal with them in our life. We are going to share here some of these remarkable changes.
Internet
Internet had revolutionized our daily life. Two decades back only few people will have the dial up internet connection at their home on a desktop computer which was working on a BSNL or MTNL phones (phones were also very rare at that time). The internet speed was so much high that if we open a browser then sometimes the home page opened after finishing a cup of tea or coffee. Then later on we have cyber cafes where we surf internet on per hour of usage basis. And now we are using 4G and talk about 5G services. Internet banking had also an add-on in it. It is just like Cherry on a Cake. Several super markets come in existence which provides flexibility to place order online with a free home delivery service. We can do enormous number of things using internet like booking tickets online, ordering food, getting directions on maps and so on. The count is endless.
Smart-Phones
We remember only 1-2 house in a locality will have a phone where we get a phone call in case of emergency. Then we had a PCO at every corner to make Local, STD or ISD calls. When the smart-phone had launched in India MOTOROLLA, USHAPHONES and ERICSION were few brand in starting. Those handsets were so much bulky and can only use to make a call or to receive it. Before that there was a pager system, which was not successful. And now everybody (more than 70%) is having smart-phone in their pockets whose configuration is well known to us. We do online shopping on e-commerce, doing mobile banking etc. through it. Our smart-phones had vanished many things which were very significant and important in our life at that time, includes alarm clock, calendars, radio, tape-recorder, CD/DVD players and digital cameras, handy-cams (which come and outdated during this era) and much more.
Social Media
People are crazy for social media. We have so many social platforms on which we can openly discuss complaint or share what we want. Everybody is sharing their personal life with others. These social media platform like facebook, twitter, whatsapp are providing “Freedom for Expression” too. But sometimes these social media had been used for a wrong intention too. Now days the youngster have been crazy for selfie’s. This selfie fever makes them addicted and sometime they will have to sacrifice their life for it.
Television
Our home is having CRT based television at that time on which only one channel comes called Doordarshan, where as today we are using Ultra-OLED like technologies and can watch any channel not only for India but of abroad as well. Instead of watching movies in a theatre, now we prefer to watch them on multiplex.
Transportation & Healthcare
We have a four lane highway or expressway that provides connectivity. We have metro, double Decker trains etc. Now our transport system is so much strong that we can think for Green Corridor after that so many heart, kidney or liver transplant had been successfully being carried out which was not possible at two decades back. India is using Air-Ambulances. The medical facility is so much improvise that India started Medical Tourism too.
We also have to consider that those companies who do not adopt these changes on time they will have lose their business or even they become bankrupt. Few of the examples are KODAK, world biggest camera and photograph printing company. Hindustan Motors is another example of it and everyone know about Indian diplomat’s car Ambassador. We also saw the Indian watch company called HMT. Telegram services had also been stopped in India as they do not update their system.
We do not think any of these thing two decades back. These all are considering as dream which comes in reality. We are now more connected, but lost in our own world. Now the information I am going to share with you is so much important. How much of you know that many developed countries is developing their parallel network of communication which is not based on internet. They are designing aircraft which run without GPS etc. As it is consider that in future our communication system based on internet will be hacked or may be affected by virus due to which we have to initiate our life from starting without internet without communication.
If possible then avoid using your mobile or smart-phone for one day. Do not chat with your friends no facebook, no whatapp or any other internet based task. You notice that something is missing in your life on the other hand you will be more relaxed and more happy on that day as you spend quality time with your family / friends / kids or your near & dear ones. It’s better to start this habit from today itself. If it not possible for you to restrict it than start it by ½ hour and then increase it day by day. We are not against this internet usage or connectivity but we only know one thing that excessiveness is always harmful. We urge you to restrict not boycott. If you consider our thoughts invaluable and consider us fool then kindly search the prediction of one of the renowned scientist named Stiffen Hawkins for our planet called Earth. He had also told to the world that we have to evacuate the earth in next 100 years.
