Internet is fun

Things have changed a lot within the last 6-7 years. Initially the mobile phone replaced the regular landline giving people ease to talk to their loved ones whenever and wherever they want. First the mobile was costly and now you can hardly see anyone without it. Then came the mobile camera and after that the much awaited internet.

Now internet is something without which you cant spend a day. Be it your facebook addiction or be it your official purpose or just your daily habit - we are all hooked to the internet. And since the desktop or laptop cant be everywhere the mobile internet has come to its rescue.

I remember few days back I was discussing about a suitable picnic spot with my colleagues. And  no matter whether we know the place or not we searched it in the Google map. Songs,news,facebook they are the all time day to day addiction. You do not have to switch in to the news site somebody must have given any important update on facebook. Wherever they are ,whenever they can people go on using the internet via mobile. The popularity of it is so much that every company, be it product based IT firm or banks etc are now launching mobile applications.

You will receive an alert on your mobile the moment you do any bank transaction. You will be able to check your account status via the mobile banking.

As far as the fun is concerned we have weekly video conferences to which expect the manager the team members are least interested.It goes on on it own and people remain busy tweeting,downloading songs etc by hiding the mobile under the table.During the day when we need some refreshment we switch to you tube and enjoy watching some cool videos. Most of the organisations have restricted internet access but  it doesnt bother us even. As the new generation loves speed the mobile companies are bringing 3G,4G etc. But I guess since the tariff is also high 2G is still in demand. Even though its slow but serves the purpose. And not to forget the android market via which some cool apps like Talking Tom can be downloaded. It is really fun for not only children but also for the grown ups to see the cat talking or doing some fun activities.

Nevertheless mobile internet has become a necessity. Without it the phone feels useless. It came up in the news that 3G tariffs are being cut down by 70%. I was happy to see this.With less tariffs at least many people can afford the 3G or 4G services just like 2G. Mobile internet has proved itself to be a necessity.
