Technology is a boon or bane

The technology coming up is changing our lifestyle a lot.

Technology means all amenities or that is something which may like a gift or boon to us, by us and for us to save time, energy and effort. Technology like TV, Refrigerator, Washing Machine, Smart Phones, Laptop, Desk Top, Tab and many more things may give us comfort and happiness. Technologies are also entering into many places like health care, transportation, agriculture, defence, space applications, etc. it helps seems incredible.

But despite all these, we do not get time to talk, sit, stand and stay with our friends. Our mind is not stable now and we are running here and there all the times.

Sometimes a question may come that are we for the technology or technology is for us because many times when technology is becoming unbearable for our environment and health, without leaving our addiction we are enjoying the poison coming out of it.

The big change is that we are becoming mechanical servants of technology. We do spend a lot of time with technical stuff. Instead of exercising, meditating, laughing, smiling, going to Park, restaurant, club, etc, we spend most of the time in social media, smartphones, laptops, TVs or many other things. Life has changed in a bigger way.

We must enjoy the technology but day by day we are suffering because of the technology. And technology is taking all our time, money and peace. It’s like technology is enjoying us rather than becoming our enjoyment.

It has already brought bigger problems like global warming, air pollution, water pollution and more importantly mental pollution. We need to be more careful and aware of all such coming technologies like AI, ML, DL, IoT, etc.

Time is also warning us to make a shift from these age of machines or plastics to our environmentally friendly and organic agricultural sort of things. This is the time for us to choose between world war 3 or natural greenery.

This time we must choose something for our healthier, safer and better future. Nothing is impossible. Together we can do a lot of things. To begin with, we must have positive thinking and attitude towards our environment. We all must believe that there might be drought, groundwater shortage, cyclone, flood or fire like in Amazon forest. If we will work together, then we will make the Earth green again.

Yes, technology has changed our lives but can we be able to survive in the hazards created by technology is a big question.

Uddhav’s Bitter Questions to Krishna

Source: Pexels Uddhav was in the service of Shri Krishna as a charioteer since childhood, but he neither expressed any desire nor asked anything from Shri Krishna. When Krishna completed his avatar era and was ready to go to Gaulok, he called Uddhav to himself and said: Dear Uddhav, many people have received something from me in this 'Avatar period', but you never asked for anything! Now ask for something, I want to give something to you Uddhav did not ask for anything even after this. He only wanted to clear his doubts which were arising in his mind by seeing Krishna's teachings and his gratitude. This way it became a session which not only cleared the doubt’s of Uddhav but also it’s very helpful to clear all common doubts in our mind. Uddhav’s question: I could not understand many things in the events of Mahabharata! Your 'teachings' remained different, while 'personal life' looked somewhat different! Will you explain the reason to pacify my knowledge

Education System of India

India produces more engineers than the total population of Switzerland. Still, Switzerland is number one in research and innovation. After independence, the Republic of India has produced zero noble laureates in science but within the same time period, the USA has produced noble laureates who are 100 plus in number. The new Annual Employability Survey 2019 report by Aspiring Minds reveals that 80% of Indian engineers are not fit for any job in the knowledge economy and only 2.5% of them possess tech skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI) that industry requires. Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella and many other popular people have done their education outside India. To find the root cause and problems hidden in our education system, we have to go back to the time when India was ruled by Britishers. In that time East India Company had two major challenges to rule India. First was the need for communication with Indians in their British English language and second, was the need for workers in I
