Hunger for Technology!!!

Greetings!!!!
I am an avid learner, or what you can say is "this guy is hungry!" In better pretext " I'm hungry!!!" Hungry not for food, but hungry for learning. Learning new technology.

Technology over the period of years has changed alot. Not for the bad but for the good. It has revolutionized or upgraded our mindset with regards, how Technology has changed. Would you like or rather stay in the dark ages or move ahead with the new futuristic age? 

Yes we all would like to progress in life, but yet again still people are yet living in the dark ages. They don't wanna Learn or again they aren't hungry for new Technology. They would rather stay back and say "enough for me this is enough, why should we learn more? " 

Few days back I have been following a series on YouTube where those guys deal with old antique stuff. And you have to believe me. A old guy walks in with a old computer it was a 'commodore 64' it was a amazing computer in the 80's. But it surely did teach us how to type programs out. Or what we say or do today is called coding. ๐Ÿค” wow ๐Ÿ‘how much have we come so far. 

I used to use the commodore 64. it was an amazing system. We kids that time didn't have PS5 or Xbox or whatever we kids have these days. Commodore 64 was a unique piece of hardware where we really  had to learn the hard way, what computers really were that time.

And yes I was, I will and forever be hungry for Technology.

And that was the beginning!!!!

Will continue this journey soon....

Well i'm back from a short exile.

it surely has been a rollercoaster ride. Since the 80's and now into the future. i wouldn't say present, because the present has been evolving into a bright beautiful future for many of us. Some may complain, but then again some may not. we have to try to get out of the dark ages, learn with the flow, and then we can rise up from the flames like the Phoenix has done. 

We have to keep on learning, no matter whether you are young or you are too old. Education is a must. we have to give our children a decent education and exposure to future on what lies ahead. I tell my son and daughter never give up on learning. Keep on learning, watch youtube videos, see the news on new technology. athough you are young still you have to keep on learning.

I still don't understand, why some people give up!!!

Since this pandemic struck, it was devastating. schools closed and if i might, or you could say some of the young talented Einstien's might be what you say deprived of a decent good education. Everything became online classes, work from home. So finally everyone was deprived of thier education. I can't blame anyone. It's just i feel bad for what's happenning. School teacher's are stressed out. Parents are stressed out and dont let me forget our beloved children are stressed out too. 

But then again!!!

Our children did start learning. 

And they are doing or should I say really pretty well. During this pandemic. Of course they haven't become couch potatoes. But surely much advanced for thier age. Today's kids happen to know much more than we can by ourselves.

Yes I'm back.. where were we last. Oh right, where today's kids happen to know much more than us. 
Yes its very true. 
It's very true. 
Let me go a little back in time not to far back not into the dark ages, say some where in the 80's. Well I think that's fair enough. Well the 80's wasn't a total old school. That time things were different technology was in the process of development and it was definitely exposing the new world ๐ŸŒŽ, or in better terms. Giving new life, to the world. It was like bringing a baby into the new world, and yes it was, it was really fascinating. Things started changing for the better.

Let me tell you a little bit of my childhood. Since I was a technical freak of nature that's what my friends used to call not then but now. 
It was in feb 1981 i was born. I was a very Fiesty kid. At the age of 4-5. I always had the habit where in I used to touch this and touch that. To be proper gadgets. It was a time of learning. And I used to like what's not o  the outside but what's inside that counts. Whether mechanical, electrical or for crying out loud even electronics. You name it I would take my dad's screwdriver set and open up everything. Yes definitely I had picked this trade from my father. Yes he did teach me a lot of things. It was becoz of him, I started learning about these things. 

I was given a computer and that was my first computer. It was a atari computer it was awesome I learnt how to type and play game hoorah, and I remember how my mum used to beat me at a game of pac man. Geez  she was great at it defeating me hheheheh.

Then came the commodore 64 and other absolute brute. There I learnt how to type pages after pages on the computer and then finally press enter to start again. It was awesome thats when I saw the floppy disk. As years went by and I mean many years. When I was in school  we started learning computers and it was like dBase, fox pro oh my if you see today, it's nowhere. And when I reached  college it was windows 95 it's was great ๐Ÿ‘.  Me and my friends just run down to the computer lab and play solitaire. Minesweeper. Everything was old school. It was a fascinating time and then after college we had to get a job. Hey wait a minute my dad as promised gave me my first bike only after my graduation. But not now kids go to college with cars. OMG!!! HOW LUCKY!

I got my first phone after getting my first job in 2002 then it was in 2007 after my worst life threatening accident. I got my first laptop. 

If I recollect correctly everything was simple. Just go to school with the notebooks study and come home. Now it's sometimes go to school  without notebooks study and come home sit with the closest gadget and have fun.

That time In the 80's everything was simple not much technology. But now it's a necessity. It's a addiction. There are pros and cons. But it's a must if you wanna go with the flow and keep yourself up do date it's better. Keep on learning. 

Now with technology far advanced. Things have changed. Kids are learning things at a rapid fast rate. How the latest phones are and how they look. Laptops become ultralight compared to what I used to use. Things have just changed.everything is easy to learn. Earlier we would ask our parents, as they were there but now it's ask google or ask alexa. Hehehe
I'm not saying it's bad thing it's good but we live in a new world we can't live without technology and I mean the latest technology.

Now learning or updating ๐Ÿค”oneself ain't a crime. It's a good thing. We have to keep on learning. I tell my son to keep on learning. Don't ever stop. Now that's for my son. I too haven't given up on learning I have kept onlearning and never gonna stop till I die. Because learning is a privilege, it will serve us today, it will serve us tommorow,  well it will help us in the future. For our own good. 

So always be hungry for Technology.
Takecare and stay safe.

  2. Well written! If you don't catch up with technology, you are in for trouble. Keeping in mind to balance learning technology, one has to keep in touch with humanity. Nevertheless, there are no excuses for not upgrading in learning and living life - the techie way!
