Every parent in today’s world is proud of his kid having a mobile phone. They gift a small kid who does not even own a wallet with an attractive, trendy, stylish and grand mobile despite the fact that they have to pay through their nose to get it. Of course today money is not the matter. You have mobile phones starting prices which are very affordable but are we satisfied? Nooooooooooooooooo. That’s not fair is it?
Even officials have normal mobiles. Of course we do have a few with blackberry models or some PDAs but usually they are not interested. It is the youth of today who have the ubercool gadgets. Right from the iphone to the latest trendsetters, it is seen only with the non-earning members of the family.
Sure. One can argue the fact that only the youth listen to fm or to songs or play games etc but one cannot deny that the usage stops with that. Lewd images, videos and the black mails are well known but that does not come into discussion here. I deal with the 99% normal guys and gals out here.
True. I agree with only one point from the parents. The so called sms culture destroys language but one thing to remember is that it is a new form of the language. We get to communicate. Just like the talking slang, this is one kind. And what do they expect? Do we have to be bureaucrats? Saying the formal good morning sir etc? come on, we have forgotten caste creed and all crap in our friendship why the hell do you have a problem with us using machi and mama?
But one fault with us is that isn the process of sending sms, we forget the world around us. We become addicts to the mobiles, we forget people around us. Parnts talk to us but we are mentally absent during these sms periods. Sure, we owe them our attention and no compromise can be made in that but they too cross the limits by spying into ous messages. Is this acceptable?
Technology is for us to develop but not to go the opposite way. We gain friends but we are apparently losing our family in the process. Living under the same roof yet we are miles apart virtually.
Mobiles are a great invention. They have advanced to the level of PDAs and they are there in all walks of life. Every person has a mobile as of today. It is more of a necessity today rather than a luxury.
