Internet technology turns 45 years:

Rail on a track:
Minister of Railways Sadananda Gowda has since come out with his budget proposals on railways. By and large the budget proposals are received well by the people of the country with the exception of the opposition parties who did twist it beyond proportions but they too had nothing specific to point out as a negative factor. This is surprising that the Indian share market which had a record score on trading a day before the budget was placed on the floor of the Parliament on high hopes pinned to budget proposals reversed its speed just in the negative order after it was declared. The relative link given below can be referred for the purpose:

True it is that the budget is not elaborately specific on its salient features so highlighted but the message is clear that it is a pro people railway budget with the projects which are of a greater interest to the passengers and what led the traders in the share market to feel panicky about it in later part of the day is not clear. Better it was for the Railway Minister to spell out the specifics more distinctly without which the proposals appear to be limping and not desirably self speaking. The very headlines, however, relating to bullet trains, high speed trains, increase in number of trains coupled with special railway police exclusively for lady passengers, online reservation of ordinary tickets including platform tickets and various traveller friendly amenities are enough to make the budget worth it.

Privacy on internet–How safe?
Those who care more for privacy may not find internet a safe place. It is a different matter that despite this snag internet has become most popular a tool for any job one has in mind throughout the world. A survey conducted by BBC reveals that there are 52% of the people all over the world who feel panicky while using internet for different social purposes think as they do that privacy element badly lacks there. In India the scenario is somewhat different as there are 67% of the users who comfortably operate it with the confidence that their privacy is quite safe. What in fact the privacy factor has to do once one decides to socialise his/ her dealings publicly? Actually speaking the internet services are harnessed in most of the cases for publicising their work. If privacy is that dear to some, why the hell they should use the internet at all. Internet is a great publicity tool and those who don’t want to be away from the confines of privacy better they refrain from using it. Internet is capable of playing wonders just on a click and it is a boon for the modern age having such a magic like tool.

Which Internet browser is better?
Internet Explorer of Windows or other one from the list of many browsers which are available in plenty is the first question that confronts the user at the very stage of surfing. All have their own special features which the user operates based on his requirement. There is none, infact there can’t be one, that suits every body. Some one needs bigger page space so that he is not required to switch over to the next one after every minute or two, some don’t need much of page space and they can easily afford a browser which covers sizeable space in its headings. Headings
again differ from browser to browser as they are chosen on the basis of the need of the company that launches them. As a moderate compromise, one has to go for a browser which is neither too big headings wise nor is frugal to the extent that needfully required major headings are missing causing enormous difficulties to the user for want of major support buttons.

Routine irritants
Perusing post of a blog from a friend of mine for giving a comment I found that the particular post had hardly a total length of 10 words telling that she felt miserable with irritations like 'page not found' due to internet problems and hence she couldn't write as many posts as she wanted to. I got confused on giving a comment and had to reconcile with the remark that 'such problems are a common feature' with internet. When you are interacting with internet you never know as to how many irritants may occur during the whole process and there are occasions when even master experts in computer operations fail to locate the very area from where the fault is emerging. Looks like the problem is persistently inbuilt with computer operations and one has only to reconcile with it.

Is IT industry on a slope downward ?
It was a revolution when Internet technology took the world as a storm leaving an impression as if the move is not to know a stop but there did come a stage, as it obtains currently, when the progress came to a standstill and then a dwindling trend started. It gave employment to tens of thousands of people all over the world but soon it fell prey to a world wide slump resulting into a large scale retrenchment. In India, like other countries in the world, it is very much linked to general development progress (GDP) which vulnerably wavers like a candle flicker. Measured in terms of percentage it has been around 4% of GDP growth during the last 4 years. This growth as pronounced by economists was supposed to be 9% during the year 2008-09 but it failed to go beyond 7.8% and obviously the share of progress in IT industry heavily suffered a setback. Computers are the order of the day but their popularity appears to be stagnated at a point. If the present trend of the global market is an indication, there is not much of a chance of GDP growth which only shows that IT industry has to suffer further which again denotes that till sometime back growing popularity of internet technology may get dwindled enormously.

Why I signed up for Pay Per Post?


I did feel tempted to go for Payperpost at the first sight on the Internet. Besides ofcourse the money consideration, I found it user friendly in the sense that it contains elaborate features on functionality and that I got replies to my queries promptly with a touch of attention and care, a feature quite denotive of a quality level dealing. Dealings with an amount of cordiality are after all most powerful tools, be it business or any other mission. Customer care is customer love with PayPerPost and that again speaks volumes of a sort of an affinity between them and the posties. I do feel like sharing my impressions on PPP with my friends/ my readers, hence this small writeup.Giving vent to my anxiety based on my first hand impression, I fondly signed up with PPP looking forward to a congenial and result oriented relationship with them. I do want money as I need it and I chose PPP for this reason too realising that it can well be persued with them gracefully. I have a conviction that ten dollars earned with labour are much more satisfying than hundreds of them earned otherwise. Howsoever pressing and compelling be my needs, I have no fancy for money earned through gambling, lotteries or speculative tradings. If fortunately I am able to come across avenues for more money beyond what is required for my basic needs, my priority option would be to help the orphaned and handicapped children. Trying to comprehend as to where PAY PER POST lays more emphasis in business orientation and marketing facilitation, it satisfyingly inspired me most to realise that they have a missionary approach towards Computers and Internet. Given below is a small account of the way I take this powerful tool of business and interaction:
Computer and Internet:
When first fully functioning electronic computer was developed at the University of Pennsylvania during World War II, none migt have thought that some day it was to blossom to the pinnacles of success and that it was something to become a sort of wonder for the world. Initially it was developed as a device that could both determine missile trajectories and predict the weather.Soon it captured the fancy of business community followed by an overwhelming demand from corporate bodies and individuals.Computers appeared in much developed a shape during mid fiftees of the last century to blossom further in the mid sixtees when they started being dependably used by the Banking Industry throughout the world.In India,it was State Bank of India to play a pivotal role in developing its popularity and demand. Basically it was transistor that acted as a source of inspiration from acceptability point of view on a thinking that if radio/transistor could be so popular with the masses why computers can't be and several new features started being added to this technology every day. Development and progress on this technological field no doubt suffered a setback as a matter of stiff resistance offered against it by several quarters mainly including leftists on the slogan that it was potentially a great danger for the workforce as it was most powerful a machine to replace and do away with the manual labour causing a large scale unemployment but with the overpowering utility angle of computers, it didn't take much time to overcome the problem as those opposing it tooth and nail reconciled in its favour propagating its qualities publicly.Talking to a Chief Minister of a State in India, I found him highly aggressive virtually abusing those who worked for computers and my arguments supporting them were just turned down. Later I was told that he since became a great admirer of the machine ordering full use of computers in all offices of the Government in his State. Now it is an era of computers in full measure and that no one who believes in work and efficiency can afford going without them. Computer, thy name is efficiency, thy name is progress, development and prosperity.
