That’s nice. We have computers,Internet,mobile phones,Social networking sites, gadgets that are meant to save Time for us to enjoy Life.
How much time has been saved because of these Gadgets and how have we improved the utilisation of our Time?
Are we happier to-day than what we were when these things were not available?
I was born in a place where to see a wick stove was a sight;to see a Radio was boon;to hear transistor….beyond imagination.
At home, cooking was done using chopped wood.food made thus had a distinct taste.
We have,now, gas,Micro Ovens,
Taste?
Now ,we have every gadget that has been mentioned.
Have I saved Time?
Have all these things improved my quality of Life?
No.
I recall Thoreau.
“Humans are bound to things beyond the necessities when these items become so important that we never attempt to do without..
True.We assume luxuries to be necessities and are stuck with them.
“It is desirable that a man live so compactly and preparedly that, if an enemy takes the town, he can walk out the gate empty-handed without anxiety.”
I can never say that.
In short, I am convinced, both by faith and experience, that to maintain one’s self on this earth is not a hardship but a pastime, if we will live simply and wisely; as the pursuits of the simpler nations are still the sports of the more artificial.-Thoreau.
Story:
Over the past decade mobile phones have evolved from contemporary feature phones into pocket-sized powerhouses that have completely redefined global telecommunications, web browsing, social networking, peer-to-peer communication, navigation, wireless connectivity, instant messaging, augmented reality, social gaming, applications development and marketplaces and so much more. It suffices to say that, given the world’s mobile consumer-base statistics, everyone from the tech-savvy to the business executive to your Gran is sporting a high-end mobile device or smartphone.
Comparing global trends, RIM and Apple clearly dominate the US markets with the Blackberry andiPhone smartphones while Android devices are quickly pulling in a fair share of that market and are already exceedingly dominant in the Asian sector. In fact, statistics bigwig Nielsen’s tracking surveys has shown a significant increase in mobile Android sales in the US so much so that it is expected that Android devices will be the number one mobile operating system in the country. And rightfully so, if one considers that just last week, the mantle of the most powerful smartphone was snatched by LG who delivered the jaw-droppingly gorgeous LG Optimus 3D: The world’s first 3D mobile device (note: mobile device. Not phone as that would just be degrading to this awesome piece of tech. Take heed Apple iPhone)
