Few days back I saw in the news that rituals were being performed over skype. Is this the height where technology can reach or is there more? Will there be times where people literally get married online? Down the memory lane I remember times when an incoming call in a mobile was rs.6/min. and the only features in a mobile were calls, messaging and SNAKE game. Video game was the hand held brick game. I remember my mom telling me that their place was the only one that had a T.V and people came to their place to watch it. Of course how can we forget that the channel that time was doordarshan. And there were times where only one person knew how to operate the phone and everybody had to approach him to talk to their kith and kin. Its so amazing that technology has developed so much and everything is now available by just a finger touch.But when I sit back and think, it seems life was more easier and cheerful then. Nostalgic are the thoughts of running across streets, Monkey climbing over the walls, playing and shouting in groups with all the fun and cheer filling the air. Today's generation have almost lost social interaction. Tomorrow, we don't even have to ask. The only friend a child would be having is the next generation PSP and his facebook friends. He would probably video call his parents across the hall to tell them that he is soo busy(gaming)to come and join the family for lunch or dinner. This again has no conclusion. Technology development can be a boon or bane. But do we really need this kind of technology that isolates us from our own?
