Whatever happens, technology can never replace human touch, voice and emotion.
I'm not against it (how else could I write this blog and reach out to so many people without spending a rupee ;-) ), but here's what happened. Was chatting with a friend online and both of us used a lot of those smileys (J) and every time I felt, how different it would be to talk to him over the phone, hearing his voice, his laughter, anger, every emotion so vivid, so clear.
Technology really falls short here.
And then ofcourse, nothing beats the pleasure of sitting with your friends, over a hot cup of chaay or coffee, swearing at each other, joking, pulling each other’s leg and giving high fives!!
Lets not forget “the human touch”…
Well, one thing that we can ensure to maintain the integrity of those smileys is actually do it while you type a smiley - smile on :), wink on ;) and really laugh your ass our when u send LMAO...

Comletely agree with Hemya....and this human touch remind me of an incident in MBA class combined session of A & B batch... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis realization of inadequacy of technology that you deduced is surely a result of chatting with one particular friend!
