Are we too dependent on computers?

My weekday starts with a cup of coffee and an online newspaper on my laptop. Then i rush to my office and again sit in-front of my computer for the next 8-9hours. I come back to my home and again sit in-front of my laptop to check my personal emails or for blogging or for seeing videos. Even in my weekends i end up spending around 4-5hours in-front of my laptop unless i am out of my home. I am using laptop to such an extent these days that i have started developing Carpal Tunnel's syndrome !

This isn't just my story. This is the story of everyone these days who are addicted to the computer technology or the software professionals like me.

Don't we all realize how much we are depending on computers these days ???

We are so addicted to computers, laptops and palm tops these days that we literally use it everywhere in our life. Nowadays, even cellphones are converting to mini laptops so that we can use it wherever we cannot carry our laptop. We use it even if we just have to chat with our girlfriend ;-) Have you ever realized that sometimes we unnecessarily use this technology and have forgotten the taste of our nature and actual world. By playing Farmville every day we consider that we are great farmers, but what about the actual farmers who spend their whole day soaking in the sun and harvesting their crops !

Welcome to the modern age of computers, laptops and palmtops that have created virtual world around us and we are actually enjoying that part of the world the most.

If we see the brighter side, then Computers have proved to be a boon to the human life. We cannot imagine our life without computers. Our life has become very simpler and easier because of them. Computers are being used in almost all the areas of our life. They are used to manage large and useful data without having to store piles of paper. They are used in the flight control panel, to maintain the aircraft speed and other things. Some times unknowingly we make use of computers like if we go to grocery store and use credit card to make a payment then computer processes our information and completes the transaction. We can get the latest news on computer about the world. We can send and receive messages from any corner of this world. It has made our communication very easier. We can use computers to even make calls to our friends living in another part of the world. We can even shop by using internet and we can get our goods shipped.

The biggest change that computer has done to our society is that it can be seen everywhere now. Computers are seen in any workplace from banking office to a library. It is replaced by the piles of accounts and pages of data being maintained till now. Nowadays they are entering our schools so that our children don't have to use a notebook to do their assignments. Instead of that they will have the fancy netbooks that they will carry to the school. So, virtually laptops and internet has conquered many areas of mankind. In this way computers are becoming more powerful and functional and closer to our daily life. So, the sound of the keyboard typing and mouse clicking are a normal occurrence in every household.

Hence, the computer has affected various aspects of our life and has advanced our society to the future!

3D TV - Is the world ready for this technological change ?

3D movies that swept our movie theaters are now stepping into our living rooms. In this era of blu ray movies and high definition digital movies, world should now be ready for the high definition 3-D movies. This technology is slowly going to roll out by the end of this year and by the next couple of years this is going to be a part of everyday's life. According to an estimation 3D TV will be in everybody's household by next 2 years. All the major TV companies are jumping in this league. With the combination of power packed blu-ray player that enables 3D technology, TV and the glasses the system will be delivering seamless full screen, 1080p picture in each eye !

Due to more number of 3D animated movies releasing each year, the popularity of 3D technology has become very much. There are several methods being used by the television manufacturers to create 3-D images on the TV. This technology picked up hype when the movie Avatar got released and 3D technology has become a top agenda among all the broadcast and TV industries. If you wanna survive in this competition, swim along with the waves !!

Blu-ray player should be capable enough to create 1080p images and it should be able to send the information about which image is meant for which eye to the TV that is capable of displaying 3D images. To recreate the images TV should refresh at the rate of 120 times per second with alternating frames for left and right eye. TVs include a converter chip and necessary software required to break down the signal for left and right eye. To get the true 3D content, you need to access 3D broadcast programming and a 3D blu ray player ! You are all set.

3D TV is definitely the future of TV entertainment but the revolution is however in its infant stages for now. But the wheels have been churned. So, people just wait and watch how this technology is going to conquer everyone's household !

The Android Attack !!

The Android and Apple war ! How can i not write about the most happening thing in the technology. Let me tell you i don't work in a cellphone company, so these are the views i am presenting based on market reviews, customer reviews and my own farsightedness. However i think now its time for us to switch to either of these two ...

The global smartphone market has become a cheesiest sci-fi war ! Every quarter a new phone is released and the companies have to make new strategies in their on going products. But Apple has enjoyed its days. Now, its the turn of Androids. They are definitely the future cellphone technology. According to a market survey global smartphone companies are increasing revenue of the market by a healthy 50 percent every year. Most of the mobile device vendors are now switching to Google's Android operating system. Because of this rapid Android success to the mobile vendors, its competitors are now facing problems. Once a popular phone Blackberry is now little obsolete in the market. Poor thing but just few years back it was considered to be the most professional smartphone ever. There is a competition between the cellphone carrier companies as well. Verizon has been marketing its latest Motorola Droid phone aggressively, forcing other companies to think about marketing android based phones or else they will loose their market shares.

HTC and Motorola are the two companies who are concentrating only on android based phones now. As a result, other companies like LG and Samsung are also planning to jump into the race. Google is coming up with new upgrades to Android that might give tough competition to its competitors. Just few minutes back i came to know that Google has launched - Voice actions and Chrome - Phone services.

Voice action is a step ahead to iPhone's voice control system by allowing users to dictate text messages, send emails, write notes, make calls, initiate music and search the web for information. While Chrome to phone, is the mobile application that allows users to send informations such as links, driving directions, bookmarks and other information directly from the browser to the phone. Are they planning to replace laptops with mobile phones ?? With such advancements in the cellphone technologies there will be a time when we will be using cellphone for day to day work !

Both of these technologies have their own pros and cons. Android has a backup from Google, so it has more tighter and well done integration from Google but Android apps totally SuCk ! while apple apps are so many in the market. However, in coming days i would assume Android apps will be more better and they might be free or cheaper than Apple apps which will be a plus for the customers.

But nevertheless, Android has not yet dethroned the top 3 cellphone companies - Apple, Research In Motion and Nokia who don't have any plans in the nearby future to use Google's operating system.
