The more it snowsThe more it goesThe more it goesOn snowing
And nobody knowsHow cold my toesHow cold my toesAre growing

It's an old poem from Winnie the Pooh I most think of on days... Read The Article
Yes, indeed technology has changed our life. First thing in the morning I do is switch on TV and start browsing in my mobile. 10 years back, I was least bothered to know what’s happening around me. I would be satisfied if I get some information even after a week. Now things are changed. People are having more quest for information and they want it as early as possible. However, I am not sure what I look for in the TV and news papers everyday.

Did you ever asked yourself why are you doing this? Do you enjoy this?

Its indeed technology all the way these days.Be it basics of yesterday or the challenges of tomorrow,technology is part of everything we do.No doubt it has made the world smaller,but there is another face of it. No,its not about the bombs,subs,guns,hacking etc.Its about individuals,its about us....Someone who used to enjoy his mother's cooked food,now doesnt even realise he is eating his favourite dish as he is busy browsing the net,READ multitasking.A child;s cries get lost in hi-fi music of ipods & boom-boxes as he calls for his mother.So many instances & a common culprit--Technology.
Its strange & shocking how being away from internet for two days makes people feel cut-off from the world but they fail to realise they called home 4 days ago....& someone is waiting.Technology saves time..but is taking time out of relations....atleast in some cases.
Neways.nice blog.Hope the penknife job continues for good.

Indeed very well written…well your back aches because …20 hard case boxes to 4 loading items means …they have been perfectly right sized to be carried on one back. And the occasion to speak to people right next to us was first dealt a blow when TV assumed the identity of Mr. Some one who ‘d get the household together but seal their mouths…I guess since then its just the TV guys who do all the talking and multitasking as long as it is on…..and then in mobile phones came a device to just speak and not express =)

Suhasini you have rightly pointed out the pros and cons of latest technology. I really found your views worth reading

I can understand what you mean. When I go anywhere, I have to carry my mobile phone charger, the cam-battery charger,normal battery charger, the tripod, the laptop charger, the mic. It's the most frustrating when all the wires get tangled up and you can't find the right one on time. I really enjoy your writing style- not rammed down the throat, rather making you smile and then think 'ahhhhh'.. Keep blogging. And wish for a camera-tripod-mic-mobile all-in-one..

Hi Suhasini,
This is a corporate world. The more we give fast the more people expect from us. These new technologies are given to us because they can fetch more from us sooner. (Less manpower save money).
But if you see this as an individual's perspective this improves your skills which is good for this competitive world.
The conclusion is you are good source of inspiration for people to work with dedication.
Thanks & Regards Sridhar

Well said. The same applies to scientists. Just 30 years ago, a student needed a typist to type the thesis onto special paper that would be then used for cyclostyling the several copies of theses, a photographer and an artist to take photographs and annotate with labels. Now we have freedom from scheduling appointments with all these people, but it means that we have to learn and do all these tasks ourselves :) But I would not have it the older way.

Indian channels are saving cost that is why this is happening. The quality difference also shows with a CNN international or a BBC. They still carry 20 boxes and still have producers on location. Bit of an image of the Sahib going for shikar. Brown skinned reporters don't have that idea or advantage.
