Use Poison to cure not to kill – use Smartphone to learn not to spoil

“Use Poison to cure not to kill” - there are many things in this world which we say are bad or danger.
But if the same thing is used in a specific way it can be miraculous.

I will start with an example of a knife.
Everyone know one can be killed by a knife, but if everyone starts thinking knife is dangerous today our kitchens would have not been having knives to cut vegetables and our Mothers, sister and wives still would have been using stone age equipments to cut vegetables.

There are many such things in life which are dangerous but we humans use it intelligently in way it reduces our burden in doing some tedious tasks easily.
21st Century is Smartphone yuga.  
Today everywhere we can see complaints like Smartphone addiction is spoiling young generation.
But here if we compare SmartPhone with Knife we referred in above example – SmartPhone has disadvantages if used for wrong reasons.

But its our responsibility to make intelligent use of a SmartPhone to learn new things, read about new places.

There is a saying in Kannada “Desha Sutti Nodu – Kosha Oodi Nodu” – it means roaming the whole world to learn new things is equivalent to reading the book.

So we should start using our smartphones to reading books, searching for topics in sites like Wikipedia to explore new things, understand history.
There is so much in the world which we should know.

So do such things we can plan a strategy:
When plan for a travel we will book tickets, book hotels, book taxi, packing, etc – along with all these things we also need to plan one more very important thing.

Each time we travel – depending on traveling time we need to decide on out topic of interest that we are going to search in net and read during our journey time.

This planning will help not to waste journey time and utilize smart phone for learning new things.
We can say that we can buy books instead of using Smartphone but there is a difference,

  • If we buy a book every time we travel then we need to manage a library to keep those books

  • If we carry a book we are forced to read the same book

  • If we need more information we don’t have option to buy more books

But with Smartphone and internet we have more flexibility which overcomes all above problems we will face with books during travelling.

Always having more knowledge is always helpful to survive in this fast moving competitive word because we never know what knowledge will help us to come out of unknown problems.
So make use of new technologies for good practice and also teach the same for our new generation also.
Because the way technology is evolving if it is used for bad purpose it will result in creating worst conditions.
