It’s been more than a year now that we have been compelled to abandon ‘outdoor fun’. You and I, in turn, have earnestly thanked technology, at some point of time or the other, for helping us cope with this harsh ‘new normal’. Online streaming of movies, chatting apps, video conferencing with colleagues and business partners, music apps, etc. have done their best to keep us going, haven’t they?
Think of the music apps nowadays that come along with ‘collaborative playlists’ – the creator of the playlist decides upon a group of friends or family members who can have access to the playlist. In a way, therefore, you are socializing! Again, you are not to forget the OTT platforms on which people have spent hours watching their favourite content.
Home schooling
This has again been successfully possible for the one of the biggest boons to mankind named ‘technology’. Initially parents, especially the working mums and dads found themselves hard-pressed between office work and their kids’ schooling. Time has healed every pain and parents of school-goers have reaped the maximum benefit by being able to actively participate in their child’s academics and other curriculum as well!
Here again lies the undeniable endowment of smartphones, laptops, tabs, etc. in the lives of students – from playschool goers to college pupils!
Has technology replaced everything successfully?
Undoubtedly, technology has unfathomable contributions in the lives of men, women and children, whether they are working, students, or retired individuals.

But has the virtual thing succeeded in satiating every requisite in all those spheres of life that it has touched? Let’s consider academics - remote learning could adeptly impart the bookish knowledge to pupils; what about the refreshing green playfields that had immense positive impacts upon a child’s mind and body? Whether peer interaction has shot up or declined in a dicey question - some would go for the former and some for the latter!
