Gadget Addiction
‘Oh! There is I pad in the market’, ‘I am tired of using this old set, Please! I want I phone now!’, ‘Dad! I have been using Pulsar for last two years, now I want Fazer!’
Are not these sings of gadget addiction? We want all the updated stocks of the market. Basically, the youths get to enjoy lot with the gadget. Youths are the one who quickly get updated about the latest product in the market. They are all aware regarding the launching date of Apple’s I pad in the market. They know all the features, price of it. Youth are curious about it and get well informed about the product before hand.
‘Mom All my friends come to college in scooty, I am only the one to wait for micro, Please request dad!’. What can parents do in such situation? How can a parent tolerate that their child is going through a problem of humiliation? For the teen sensation, especially of big towns it has been a kind of fashion to get updated with the gadgets. What can an individual do when it is a kind of trend? It is awkward obviously to carry Nokia 1600 at go to college when all the friends are there with fancy latest sets. Or the youth cannot get mixed with the group who all have bike with them. Honestly, we can see the groups separation in any college as per the interest. Bikers have separate friend circle, similarly cell phone group are different. For medium class group, who hardly manage for the education fees are separate, smokers are different and studious student are different. No matter what, any teen would definitely get attracted towards the latest gadget.
Letting the child updated with the latest gadget is not big issue for bigshots. But this can really be a troubling issue for those medium grades who hardly manage to afford for the education. But what can parents do when it is a trend in the college itself? So there remains no option besides adding the burden through loans, credits etc. With the advancement in technology youth are simply addicted towards the gadgets and the manufacturers are focusing youth to suck money through the addictive adds like “pleases you, pleases money and your girlfriend’, or let that be through pictorial signboards on the middle of the road.
There is profit to media as they get to advertise, manufacturers will be in profit for sure, and same with the Government as they get to inject tax thereby. So it is for sure that there will not be anyone to guide us regarding this. So the main initiatitive must be taken by the colleges, institutes themselves. They strictly impose the rule about the uniform. Uniform are meant to bring uniformity which will certainly reduce the gap between a millionre and a normal citizen. But what remains the value of uniform when the discrimination has been there through gadgets? Parents need to analyze the needs with the time and purchase the gadgets. They also need to figure out if those gadgets are acting has the hindrances for their future or not. However youths they need to understand the situation and learn to avoid it. They first need to think if they will be able to buy those goods to their child in the future or not. I have my friend who spend around twenty thousand per month and when I asked him if he can earn the amount himself in future he was in total confusion.
Yes! It is necessary to get informed about the latest advancements in the market. But we should not cry like child for it. Economic condition of the family, its use need to be analyzed. It’s not a good idea to demand for I pad when your cell phone has all the features in it.

First Benchers
First Benchers
When you are in your class, where will be your seat? Well, the answer may
vary. Some one may pop out 'First bench' while the other may say 'last' or
even 'some where in the middle'. When I was in my school, my teachers used
to say 'Who seats in the first bench will be doctors and engineers'. I along
with my group, we used to ignore and give damn and prefer second last bench.
We used to believe that if we seat there teacher would not get that negative
impression, as his primary focus will be at the last bench. It was fun
sitting somewhere round teh back, talking and gossiping and who cares? Even
if we sleep. Playing scrabbles, making noise are all the good and memorable
parts of backbenches. When I came down to my +2, considering yourself good
students with the view of SLC marks we decided to sit somewhere in the
middle. We had to stay alert as well as got ample of opportunities to make a
good time pass with the crosswords. Today I am at Bachelor level, and I sit
in the first bench. "Oh! What a terrific place" used to be my thought in
early days. But after getting adopted, I really don't want to go back and
sit there. When I see backbenchers, I remember of my school days which
brings smile in my face.
There obviously are just few first benchers among any group. Some don't get
chance to sit in the first bench while many dont prefers sitting there in
the first bench. One needs to dare to sit in the first bench of his or her
class. There are many benefits that you can get when you sit in the first
bench. Sharing from my personal experience, first good part is that first
benchers get required attention of the teachers and can get enough time from
the teachers. Positive impression sticks within the mind of teachers.
Self-confidence takes birth when one is in the first bench. First benchers
are always ready and mentally prepared for any situation that can occur in
the class. Even if I don't know the answer, I turn the pages as soon as
teacher asks any question. Obviously first benchers cannot have the freedom
of playing scrabbles and will have to give a look before moaning, they will
have to stay alert in the class obviously.
It's me young dude writing the view, I don't know where my seat maybe
tomorrow. When one lives his life, live it to it's fullest. Experience every
moments of your life. Go ahead! Kick your first benchers back and take his
seat at least for a week. Trust me you will definitely develop a new sense
of feeling. Experiencing the life of first, middle and backbenchers, all I
have to say is, you get memories for your future when you sit in the last,
and you will be near to good future when you sit in the first!
It's not that you need to seat in the first to be first, you can come first
sitting in last but you willl definitely gain something positive when you
sit in the first. If you don't believe, try it once!
