The Rise of Machines - Crazy Mission - 2200 :)

Its been a year since I posted something in my blog...I'm Back ;)

Things were going fine as usual. Getting up late from bed, rushing up to get ready, stuck in traffic, working all day in front the computer, getting back home again in the heavy traffic, playing with my kid, going to sleep late...

Sometime back, I saw a television Ad. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08TRyjiB6f0) Nice Thoughts...Young people as decision makers, bill passed within few seconds & Shared in networking site, 2000+ Likes...One thing that we should think, is it about Technology, networking, Connectivty...Whatever you call it as...end of the day it's all about Evolution. A decade back, If someone wanted to express his/ her thoughts, only thing which was available was the Print Media esp. News Papers. The person had to send his writings to the Editors & they will review that & only if the material is worth (in their point of view) he will publish it in his newspaper, that too after a week or so. But now, we have blogspot, facebook, Wordpress, name anything on the internet :) Do u call that as evolution???

Do you remember the Tring Tring black telephones & the Trunk Calls that we use to make to talk to a distant relative??? Do u remember the Telegram which we send & receive??? When was the last time you visited the post office & bought an Inland letter & a 5 Rs Stamp??? When did u last switch off your Time Piece Alarm in the morning??? Do u call these as evolution???

Also so many hot & happening gadgets of the years are no more. Very Best examples: Kodak Film rolls, Floppy disks, VCR, VCD, Walkman, CDMan etc...Evolution & adaptability to change is indispensable in this world...Do u agree???

Lets see some interesting things about Eastman Kodak company which filed bankruptcy two months back which were not able to withstand the tremendous competition in the digital camera industry. Ironically, they were the pioneers in designing the digital cameras under the name "Apple QuickTake" which was launched in 1994 by Apple Computers. But the management thought they were into films industry which had very less competition those days & continued to enjoy the larger pie of the market share. If you see deep into it, they were in neither films industry nor digital camera industry, they were in the memories industry. People take photos in order to remember the occasions, so it could be in paper print, digital, anywhere. They again invested loads of money in research & developed new Digital cameras & rolled out model after model offering consumers top quality cameras at reasonable price that made it easy to share photos with friends & family members thro' their PCs

By 2005, thy became the number 1 in US in digital camera sales. One of their best products in digital cameras was the Printer dock, which Ghajini Surya/ Amir Khan used, where you get the photo printed as soon as you click the shutter. With more companies entering the market, by 2007 thy slipped to 4th place in the US sales & subsequently 7th place in 2010 behind Canon, Nikon, Sony etc. Cameras in cellphones, smart phones, tablets too became competitors for them & they filed bankruptcy on 19th Jan 2012. Finally they obtained $950 Million, 18 month credit Facility from Citigroup to continue its operations. So It's all about Evolution & forward thinking to grow an organization & taking it to the next level.

I think I ve gone deep into the digital camera industry & the decline to the Kodak company right?? Let's get out of that & let me explain what I exactly wanted to convey :) Again coming to the Networking, Connectivity etc...Everything is possible only when there is a Jinx word called - "The INTERNET" exists. Because last week at office, there was no internet connection & we didn't know what to do. Not able to browse google, facebook, no likes, no comments, no outlook...OOhh My God it was like Hell !!!

Felt like laughing!!! So many crazy thoughts were running in my mind about "Internet & It's Craziness".

Now on, it will be absolutely crazy, out of the world, but you never know this might happen in near future...That's why I have given the caption: Crazzy Mission 2200 :)

Here We gooo!!!!

INTERNET is gonna to be the next IN THING in the world where people gets connected with everyone be it government, colleagues, friends, family, restaurants, maids, mechanics, carpenters, anyone you name it, they will be connected "ONLY THROUGH ONLINE".

Currently, like all European countries have Euro...The whole world will have a single currency called - Woreo ;)) (Wah! What an idea sir jii)

Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, SAP Labs & other biggies will be declared as countries...& Actual countries like India, United States, Dubai, Japan etc will still remain as countries but can be acquired/ conquered by these declared countries based on the revenue, GDP, Inflation etc.

By 2200, IBM would have completed 300+ Years & become the worlds largest country & wouldhave acquired three-fourth of the Asian Countries, including India & China. Oracle would have acquired most of the middle east countries to become the richest country in the world. Microsoft will still pitch in to acquire Yahoo which would again be turned down for the 48th time. Facebook & Google would fight for patent issues over US & UK acquisitions respectively.

No more outlets for any Retail & CPG/ FMCG, Durables, - Food, Apparel, footwear, Beverages, etc Even Medicine. So no more shopping, no more window shopping, no shopping complex, no commercial malls, etc... Similarly no more Dine in restaurants with multi-cuisine foods. Everything will be listed in the Woreo Website :) All your Orders will be delivered like Pizza within 20 minutes :)

All your Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, in-laws & other relatives will become friends or friends of friends...There will be only three kinds of relatonships, viz., First degree, second degree & third Degree :) Even phone calls will be done Online :) What Else is left???

In this scenario Interestingly, If someone is convicted in the court for rape or murder, the person will be denied "Internet access" for 10 Years :) So that he will not have any connectivity with anyone in the world. No food, no friends, no job, no entertainment. Ideally, no life...

For minor cases, your laptop/ home computers will be seized for a week or month...

For Drink & drive/ rash driving, your Facebook/ twitter account will be blocked for a month...

Crazy Right??? You never know this might happen in future...Whatever I hope I made you smile!!! Am I right??? But I enjoyed a lot writing this :) Sorry Typing this!!! Cheers!!!
