Yes, you read it absolutely right, “Nothing
like Anything” is the punchline of Micromax brand who have come up with so many
variants of Android Smartphones with Octacore and 4G and that too at a
reasonable cost. I chose this punchline as part of the title because that is
how my mumma sums up her latest smartphone experience.
I remember those days, when a letter sent to
someone abroad used to reach that person in 15-20 days, and response to that
used to take another 15-20 days. So, effectively my letter used to get its
response in a month’s time. With great technocrat's visions, a time came, when
we started having desktops and internet connections in our houses, which
revolutionized the communication. Then the changes happened further, and now
the whole internet has caved into our smart phones. Technology has made the
communication so rapid, prompt, instant. The technology has definitely brought
people closer.
I started using a smartphone 2 years back. And
when I used to share with Mumma regarding how I started using smartphones to
connect with people through various social media networks viz. facebook, g+,
linkedin, twitter etc. She was also amazed at the power of social media. The
instant connectivity through hangout, whats app, skype etc. using smart phones
made the concept of Global Village evolve into Global Home. I could see a
child-like curiosity in mumma’s eyes to understand these in detail and that is
when I decided to gift her with an Android Smart phone on her birthday in the
month of October, 2015. This was her first touch phone as well.
Mumma was extremely delighted as well as
nervous on how to use her latest prized possession. I got her sim upgraded to
4G. Downloaded the applications viz. Whats app, Google Hangout and Facebook
(created a new facebook account for her). With every new additions, I was able
to experience her joy in learning new things and using the same. The very first
whats app message she sent to me was: “Hello, my beautiful daughter”. I was
amidst some work commitments, when her message popped up in my mobile, which
left me with a smile on my face.
Along with the regular features, I also explained
to her certain interesting features which she could use. She also enjoys using
youtube, google now, reading news. One interesting incident which happened was
that she wanted to use GPS in her mobile, so, she just fed a destination place 2
kms away from our home, and she chose to walk her very much familiar path with
GPS ‘on’. She enjoyed the ‘left’, ‘right’ of the GPS.
Just to educate her, I also explained to her in
regard to the her smartphone and its technology. I added the following
information as well:
Android: An open-source operating system used for smartphones
and tablets.
4G:
A mobile communications standard allowing
wireless internet access at a great speed
Octa
core: It denotes the
number of processor cores in a CPU, in octa core,the number is eight.
My mumma is indeed getting comfortable with the
usage of her Android smartphone. Recently I asked her to sum up her experience,
and that is when she saw the advertisement of Micromax and got struck with its
punchline and she says: “Nothing like Anything”.
