Recommended: Technology and its impact on daily life

So what is it like to lead a life in the 21st century??!! I may say, hectic schedules, jam packed traffic, pressure cooker lifestyle, diluted dreams, great aspirations, less to little comfort, ranting neighbors and an upside down world. The list is practically endless and we can discuss until the cows come home. But amidst these, lie the opportunities to have a welcoming but secured home, comforting atmosphere, relieving lifestyle, peace of mind and a greater chance at enhancing the quality of our lives; all at the cost of not sacrificing our day to day activities. Sounds interestingly convincing??!!
Of all the factors that may irritate a person, one would surely like to keep peace at home, peace in the world. How would it be like to have the door of your home open automatically at your arrival from work, the night lamps automatically shutting down once you sleep, the AC mellowed down once you cling on to your blanket deep in slumber, the HD TV turned off by itself once you have your favorite moments celebrated after Federer triumphing over Nadal or Manchester United returning triumphant??!!! How about the motherly love that you were craving for??!!
“A fantasy coming reality!!!” is what you may have thought…
Well, Science has got all the answers ready and that even so idiot a television set, looks very handsomely intelligent these days. Thanks to HOME AUTOMATION that we are living to witness and have one of the most comfortable and intelligent days in the history of the mankind.
So, what exactly is HOME AUTOMATION??!!
This is what the Wikipedia has to define, “Home Automation is the residential extension of building automation. It is automation of the home, housework or household activity. Home automation may include centralized...

...ng decisions. Not that these are available to the elite and the selected few, but the production and its associated costs also play an important factor towards its exclusivity.
To round it off, we can say ‘so much, so little’, that the world has really become a smarter place to live in. There was a time when Home Automation techniques were a stuff of Star Wars and one could just dream of it. Fast forward the time machine by some decades and enter into this modern era of DLNA and Living Tomorrow, wherein even your car as sophisticated as an Audi is connected with your Siri and that everything moves on its own. There is a day not far away that we could see ourselves heading to some Skynet sort of happenings or an Avatar may be...
Now the question is, is there a Terminator waiting for some John Connors amongst us??!!
Are you John Connors?!!
Think again…. **chuckles**

  • This American Life Analysis

    When I first started playing the episode, Ira Glass, host and producer of This American Life, immediately grabbed my attention with the line, “Sometimes things are not what they seem. Big news, I know. Here’s an interesting example of it.” Ira, with a voice clear and engaging, went on to describe the account of Damien Cave, a reporter for The New York Times, on an airplane. Damien was looking through an in-flight magazine that was using ads for tourists to attract people to various lands that were centers of drug and gang-related violence. The prologue had started with an interview with Damien and captured vivid descriptions of his analysis of how ads are tools of those in power to coerce people into thinking and consuming. “Propaganda is

  • Wellbeing Essay

    Adoration of God; solidarity with a definitive; turning into one with the universe; concordance of body, psyche, soul, and nature; these expressions point to the key objectives of the significant religious customs. The objectives mentioned speak to wellbeing in the most important sense (Meier, O 'Connor & VanKatwyk, 2005). They can be accomplished through a relationship between the broad sense of being of the individual and the group. Religious groups perceive human enduring, disorder, and social unfairness as issues identified with human detachment from an extreme reality and disharmony in the middle of self and world. Cures may include religiously based treatment practices, reflection, a request to God, physical controls like hatha yoga,

  • Late Adulthood Essay

    706 Words  | 2 Pages

    When elderly people move into the last of life’s eight stages of psychosocial development, they enter the ego-integrity-versus-despair stage. This process is defined by looking back over someone’s life, evaluating it, then accepting it. People who become successful in this stage feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Erikson refers to this acceptance as integrity. This differs from generativity because one is accepting the end of their life, instead of accepting where their life will start in a sense of career and self. However, if one is to look back on their life with dissatisfaction, they may feel they have been cheated or missed opportunities. Such individuals will mostly be depressed or angry about the way life turned out and

  • Value of Life Essay

    909 Words  | 2 Pages

    Human life is full of meaning. As humans, we assign value to many things. However, what happens when we assign a specific value to a human life? This is the issue being presented in the article, “What is a Life Worth,” by Amanda Ripley. The government is determining a monetary value to a human life, and it does not appeal to the masses. There are many problems with the cold calculation, and most people cannot see the other side of the numbers. The economic value of a human life is calculated based on the income the person was receiving, but when the check is given to a loved one of a small amount, the compensation is misinterpreted as an overall value of the human life. The true value of a human life should not be combined with the monetary value that is determined by the government, or the value of life would be worth very little.

  • Argumentative Essay On The Millennials

    We blame the millennials for their behavior and their different characteristics compared to previous generations; however, what if we stop looking at the millennials and start looking at the reasons that they behave sensitively? Each generation contains their differences, including the way they educate the next generation. We continuously judge the millennials behavior, but we rarely judge the people who influenced this behavior. Education has changed throughout the ages, not to mention the parenting skills that vary from generation to generation, which has affected the millennials way of interacting in the world. Millennials grow up believing that they are imperative, that they are secure, that the world will conform to their generation, and that the world is a “nice” place. This teaching, causes millennials to be sensitive babies early on in life. True, millennials have the freedom to act the way they want; nevertheless, like other generations, millennials will act the way that parents and other influences taught them to behave.

When we get labeled all together that is also what may drive some to try to stand out from the
