Telecommunications- Let’s not forget the creative guy

Kanishka Tripathi, Class XI C

The day that Albert Einstein feared I think has finally arrived. He said, “I fear the day when technology will surpass all human interaction” and yes, the modern technology has invaded over the erstwhile orthodox practice of writing letters. You want to send your messages through the screen? Do that. But kindly do not be oblivious of the classic way of communication. It will really speak volumes about our urge to save our culture as people if we preserve the tradition that has been carried over for eons.

Whatsapp, Facebook, or any other feature of telecommunication for that matter has gained currency. Sheer convenience that it promises, is so handy and alluring that one can’t just escape the greed. Those of us who have been endorsing telecommunication as the technology of the day refute this very exhortion by reminding us that we start taking things for granted till they evolve into cliché. The biggest irony, example of the same is that humans cut trees, make paper out of it and write ’save trees’ on it. Yes, I agree that the modern ways of communication save tons of paper but what is the harm if you write a letter to the one you love once in a while? Why not do it as a tribute to the creative guy who came up with the idea of writing to distant people. Poor fellow didn’t have any gadgets to do away with his loneliness.

We are a product of our past. That’s exactly from where we’ve evolved. Respect the evolution, but go back in time. Adopt writing and not solely rely on cell-phones or computers. It’s an experience in itself. Let history resurrect. After all, a world is not a world until it has some element of past in it.
