Why I #ChooseToStart with the new Moto E

Pope Francis is almost right, when he says that income inequality is the most pressing problem of our age. But to that, he must also add digital inequality. In fact, as The New York Times reports, in many cases, digital inequality is leading to economic inequality in the real world. With economies becoming more digital based, economic inequality is rising as many people are falling through the cracks. Smart affordable technological solutions like Moto E are throwing ropes to the digitally challenged people to climb up to the digital plane.

Valentines day and my phone

Unconditional love is one of the most treasured, but also one of the rarest thing in the world. Unconditional love is accepting others as they are without attaching any ‘strings’ as conditions for loving them. As the world is becoming more and more materialistic, people’s thinking is being influenced by their attachment to material things and so are becoming bereft of emoting unconditional love. Also as life has become so fast paced, people simply do not have time to invest in long term relationships.

Social media- an evolutionary perspective

Is the era of Man ending before it is getting started?

Recently Geologists have declared that the era of Holocene has ended with the simultaneous start of a new epoch- the Anthropocene.

Anthropocene era is said to have begun when humans started to significantly affect the ecosystems of the globe. We can say that, it began when man started to completely dominate other species and started to affect the climate and geology on a global scale. Many scientists believe that the development of nuclear weapons around 1940 and their first test-called the Manhattan project, symbolically marks the start of the Anthropocene era.

Google glass

Among the prospective hi-tech wearable products, the most exciting and the much awaited one is Google’s ‘Google Glass’. Glass, as it is simply called, is a wearable technological product that users can wear like spectacles in front of their eyes. It can be visualised as a mini computer sitting on a person’s nose. It has a small mounted display which acts as a screen to view.

With its computing power, it can perform many tasks that a user needs. One of its most distinguishing features is that, users can operate it without using their fingers. Glass can be activated to perform many tasks by just saying ‘OK google’ verbally and then can be given commands. Alternatively a user can tap the side of the rim of the spectacle and ask glass to perform tasks for you.
