DEVELOPED .. r we ??

Have you ever thought how amusing it would be to see a snake charmer make a cobra dance to his naagin tunes?
Have you ever given it a thought how peace giving it might be to pen down a letter to an age old friend ?

I DONT THINK SO :X
coz your phone bills screech out loud that you text more than you talk your chatting session ... huh ! They are even longer .

You have been struck by the information technology virus.This IT virus has entirely taken hold of our lives luring us with fancy gizmos and gadgets, It would be surprising to know that this virus feeds on our happiness, physical fitness and peace of mind. According to a recent survey done it has found that children know how to handle computers before they know how to tie their laces.

Is this development ??
What is the yardstick of measuring development ??

Development is not just confined to computers and increase in technology.. It is not just about efficient and advanced operating systems, softwares and databases.
Development at microscopic level aims at a holistic development that can deliver physical, mental and social stability and peace which IT development miserably fails to deliver.

Gone are the days when children loved collecting stamps and coins.Gone are the days when children loved playing outdoor games instead today these activities have been replaced by counter strike and NFS making kids couch potatoes with a gift of thick spectacles.

IT has encouraged cyberspace crime, hacking, porn blah blah ... the list is endless
Our parents live with a fear in their hearts that their kids might be exposed to such vulgar things.
What is the use of such a development that fails to give our parents a peaceful sleep?

IT has indeed shrunken the world by reducing distances but what is the use of this development that has shrunken the world yet increased the distances amongst hearts ?

If our forefathers were to look down from heaven to earth they would be surprised to see how much we have progressed yet they would pity on us how shallow, crippled and dependant we have become on this technology.They would surely mock at us on running after pseudo happiness leaving behind the real essence of quality happiness in life.
