R V that Tech/computer Savvy?
World is addicted to just one letter E. World runs on Mr Electronics(E). Everything is e-based and e-way and no wonder if there is an e-way to breathe people wouldn't mind doing that.I know all of us including me either by choice/chance love/like/admire/addicted to the benefits of E. What concerns me more is the little fun, joy and memories missed by our younger kids and future generations as a consequence of E. Where is the art of letter writing, creating/sending paper based greeting cards now? It feels so good to me to look at some
of the letters/greetings with hand written messages received from my friends/parents and reminisce the sweetest moments of life. That way our bondage is strong and we feel so close to their heart. E technical transformation lead to e-mails, chat messengers, SMS,
MMS and bluetooth which can be lost just with one CRASH!!!. E may replace the method of communication but certainly not our contentment felt by hand written communication. What puts me off even more is our intra e-communication despite being at a reachable distance whether at office or home, we tend to go by E way without realising on how well we are bonding with society. No wonder animals are fortunate as they are not impacted by our communication/transformation and still tend to preserve the heritage of their own native styles.
Let us compare and contrast the tranformation in communication in the past three decades where a scenario is to invite friends/relatives/colleagues (F/R/C) on a happy occasion of festival /celebration/party.
70s - 80sF/R/C in same location - Majority of people used to greet, meet and invite door to door.
F/R/C in real far off places - Mode used was either telegrams/Trunkal/letters, personal letters with attached invitation cards .
F/R/C in real far off places - Mode used was either telegrams/Trunkal/letters, personal letters with attached invitation cards .
90s - F/R/C in far off / same location: Telephone calls local/Std /Post.
2K trend - F/R/Cs in different countries/Planets/Next door/Neighbouring Block/Same room - Mode used is consistent like SMS, e-mails, e-vites, e-greetings, e-invitations, e-marriages, e-temple poojas and ultimately e- family!!!!
Family interactions, pear to pear relationships and rapport building at office are undoubtedly deprived and dimnished by the latest trend E.
I picked up these cartoon clips from my dad's bank magazine. I must thank my dad for being my blog's greatest follower, guide, motivator, reviewer and a critic!
These sounds hilarious and comical but they are conveying a serious message!!! So..........people wake up! realise and just think over the little fun and memories we are going to miss by wearing a mask called E!! Its better late than never, please preserve the art of letter writing and heritage of family interactions. Let your kids also cherish some memories in future and not just loose them owing to a machine/hard drive crash!!!!
