Technology is growing exponentially and so has the numbers of gadgets. I recently went to my mom's place and the first thing she did was check my bags. So I had this heavy backpack, which she calls as 'Pandora's Box'. List of items that I had with reasons (Mom's always demand a reason ;))
- Laptop - For official work
- Tab - To do some work on the run and to watch movies
- Kindle - To read Books
- Andriod mobile - Of course to take calls
- Power Bank - To Charge mobile on the run
- Pen Drive - If I need to take any backup
There were two more things which made her laugh
- Good Old Nokia Handset (Battery doesn't drain down easily)
- A notepad (I mean paperback, in case I need to write something)
Along with the said things came their respective cables(which my mom calls as Spider web).
It took her almost half a day to understand why I was actually carrying so much and why things can't be simpler. I know she is still not convinced!! Rest of the day was spent on the inevitable discussion on how things used to be earlier ,even before the telephone days and I indeed agree that it was simpler. (Most of my blogs also deal with nostalgic things).
My cousin had also come up to meet me(with a similar gadget-filled luggage + SLR cam). So the next round of mockery started.
Worst was yet to come. We decided to go to the market and mom asked me to prepare a list of things. I had my list ready on my mobile but mom had advised me to write it on a piece of paper which I didn't agree to. Off we went.On the way I was busy chatting with my friends so when we reached the shop, the battery drained down and whooop....Blank screen and the list of items was lost. Now I too had a blank face and was getting ready for a round of scolding from mom. Thankfully she remembered most of things.That didn't prevent me (and the whole of the tech savvy generation) from becoming a laughing stock at home;)
Well...the incident did make me think if technology is becoming a Luggage in itself and making us crippled :(.
