Common Man Vis A Vis Technology

With technology making a close impact over the common man, one cannot escape the speed at which manufacturers of Mobile phones flow the various ranges to the market, thus increasing the competitive spirit of the so-called companies and the manufacturers. Each day new technologies arrive and it's a tough time for the users to upgrade themselves with the latest technologies. The mobile phones have reached every nook and corner of the world and to almost every home and at the so called every level and standards of living. No wonder, internet access has similarly made life so simple and accessible to the common man as well. With the click of a key, you reach the whole world. What else does one want, while sitting at home, one is accessible to the work sphere and more of it to the world around you.

Academic Education to office work, business, management, every area internet has firmly taken its place. People have become internet savvy, for those who have no knowledge in computers are considered to be illiterate in this age of computers and internet. People prefer to check their bank accounts at home on the net rather than going to the respective banks for an update. Payment of various products and services are done online through credit cards and other cards so that makes life all the easier. There is the new trend of e-learning system which is bringing education closer to the home.

And to add to this mobile usage or any gadgets is no longer a matter of pride, rather it has become a necessity for every human being. People talk of brands in terms of clothing and models, companies in terms of technologies, and even for vehicles. Today, a child of age around 5 knows the features of a mobile phone, and its usage. Well in this age we see the geniuses and children achieving success as early as they begin their schools! Be it in dance, music, acting, sports, etc. What should we say is it the exposure to the television, internet, technology, books, opportunities to participate in various competition, or the acceptability to the very mode of the changes and development in every aspect of the world around.

I consider myself unlucky because we were not exposed to the rate at which children of this age have been. Well, the advantages are many so also the disadvantages. Books in the real sense are losing on to the internet, the post offices have tried to go at par with the internet in introducing e-post and the electronic services. While an email reaches instantly within seconds, a letter through post takes at least 3 days through speed post and the normal post reaches much later and sometimes we see the post missing, and it never reaches us. That quite upsets and so is the internet reaching every nook and corner of the world to make it possible for the common man to be able to catch up with one another much sooner.

Childrens access to internet is taking most of their time from studies and even exposing them to both the good and the bad. So also the televisions which has programs attracting the young and the old. Thus, the parents should play a major role in such a control. No doubt its much of help in projects and other gaining of knowledge but at the same time it had an impact affecting them. If mobile handsets are considered only for keeping in contact and during emergency calls or for that matter getting connected with one another at the same time the disadvantages are like they are misused with the variable features being supplied and at the same time the accessibility to a mobile with cheaper price has made things possible for good as well as bad. The better and the worse stuck a play with features like MMS, Camera and messaging system. Those were the years ago.

So, let's say that we want to grow technically but we also want to promote our ongoing processes and formulations of the age old giving them a new touch, and yet preserve the culture, heritage and traditions.

As technology developed from computers to laptops to tablets, the I Pads, I Phones and mobile ranges from basic to feature phones to smartphones, the androids. Smartphones are called so because of their ability to manage and transmit data in addition to voice calls. That has an advance computing capability.

While there are numerous manufacturing companies now a days. With various ranges of mobile phone available in the market at a cost ranging that varies as per the features and the version and the like. With the demand for mobile usage growing day by day there are mobiles available for everyone's requirements.

The pandemic has changed things towards more useful in terms of academically as well as officials because the classes from home and work from home took the toll and smartphones, laptops, notebooks became all the handier. The quality of education has improved, and technology has reached every nook and corner of the world. 

An android phone is a powerful, high-tech smartphone that runs on the Android OS which is developed by Google and is used by a number of mobile manufacturers.

With the advent of OTT, over the top services or platforms that is streamed mainly through internet. The netflix, amazon prime etc., even the television series are shifting amongst viewers who prefer the same as per their suitable time.

To add to these are the smart watches, smart home appliances with smart operating systems. The smart bulbs at home which illuminates when one enters and is off when one os away from the region. Bulbs controlled by cell phones changing colors. Even remote controls with new technology these things have made life easier but at the same time everything on a click of a button has made human lethargic.

Outdoor activities need to be given more importance because the cellphone/iPhone/iPad has taken over. Gradually, the switch over to outdoor activities and games is being encouraged and children, teenagers and adults age enjoying it.

No doubt technology remains an integral part in one's life but the beauty of Nature and the environment are well captured now. 

Every individual can now make reels, videos and capture the best they can with their very own mobiles but then again there has to be a limit to everything and the accessibility to children be restricted with supervision and guidance.
