One Device: Many Applications, Uses

Tweet

Computers and smartphones are now part and parcel of life. We rely on them for the basics like email, internet etc., but they punch above their weight in their varied applications. They bring the entire world to the small screen. They are like musical instruments in the sense though most of us have only a basic talent few can work magic with their rich expertise and repertoire to make a living tapping the same key others use to handle mundane tasks. It is like the value of zero; it may have no value by itself but when placed after other digits it can add value multifold. Likewise, a humble computer/smartphone transforms itself into a device that can take us far. It is the modern day magic carpet! I use my computer for email, surfing the net, writing letters, occasional spreadsheets. During the latter part of my career, it gave me a sense of self-confidence when I too joined the digital world! It was exciting but also a worrying phase of my life as I did not grow with such devices. Now all are busy tapping keys. What do you do with them? How comfortable are you with modern technology that changes faster by the day? Image: Computer from Wikimedia Commons
