“With our days
and nights increasingly stretched across the vastness of megacities, we’ve
turned to these smart little gadgets to keep it all synchronized. It’s no
accident that the most common text message, sent billions of times a year all
over the world, is ‘where r u?’”- Anthony M. Townsend
The above statement is quite reflective of the
society we live in wherein everyone has a mobile phone even if one doesn’t have
access to clean drinking water or health care. The 375 million internet and 960
million mobile phones users in India can be a driving force for a radical
change on how economic system should be running with the world’s new economic
order of fast and door-step service delivery. Few months ago, I came all the
way from Bishnupur to Keishampat to submit a scholarship form online by the
name Ishan Udhay for my sister, for there was no good broad band internet connection
in entire Bishnupur district. |
