Views on The Future of Printed Materials

The fate of printed newspapers and books have gone off the shelf as the cheap and easy online access is on the rise as it is just away on a click of a button. On this fact, I agree with the notion that cutting-edge technology and the ever expanding internet access is only set to mark a different footprint in the near future as we are grappling and heading into uncertain times.

One of the reasons of fading the charm of reading the printed copy of materials such as –newspapers, books and journals; is that paper-based materials are considered to be handy, expensive and difficult to manage in this time and age, when the same copy is easily available on a press of button in the powerful device called mobile phones and other electronic gadgets which is shaping the world in a different manner. This is due to the turn-over of a new cutting-edge technology and this is only set to get better and better. For instance, if I would like to read a book, or any other reading piece, which is not available nearby, I can just take a phone, click the source and instantly I get to read with the press of a button which is far cheaper and easy to manage. Furthermore, all news channels and Ebooks have their own version of online and offline apps, which is affordable that feeds every bit of information and gives updates on any new books available for reading. 

 

The other reason is that the speed of the Internet is getting better, faster and more reliable as it is also important driving force why most people opt to read online these days making a easy choice of paperless reading of any length of pages as it takes milli-second to download and open which is the ultimate desire of anyone. Nevertheless, with Internet broadband getting sharper and faster, sharing of any kind of documents with people of any choice is possible which is why most of the people glue themselves with online and offline reading choices. For example, a friend of mine is so addicted to online reading such as updating news, books, journals and research papers, which is a clear indication of fast, and reliable net connection making life easy for everyone by cutting the cost of buying printed materials. 

 

In conclusion, reading hard copy is a choice made by only a small section of old and illiterate people and it's only set to get low over the years in the face of a superior technological world backed by fast and reliable net connection regardless of backgrounds and regions one occupies.

Iron Lady of India dies at 68.

It was neither a good news to millions of Tamilian nor to the parliament house. But, she will continue to remain one of the most influential person in politics and in the film industries. Perhaps, she became more than the goddess of Tamil Nadu politics. She has been a greatest asset to her country in her best pursuit. The women who has ruled India more like 'Gandhian Philosophy.'   Jayalalithaa jee She has done every preeminent possible ways to bring massive changes in the life of millions of people and uplifted the Indian society than any other women. She had worked so hard, she had risk every bits of her life just for the benefit of all the Indians because of which she had gained a huge popularity amongst the other leaders. She was popularly known as an ‘ Iron Lady ’ for being tough and firm in her action and ‘ Amma ’ for acting more than a mother for millions of homeless and to the needy ones.’   The best part I have seen throughout her political regime and fil

Golden Words Of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

King Jigme Singye Wangchuck "...in particular, speaking for myself; my sorrow in having lost my own father is indeed very great. What is more the country has lost a king whose kind has till now never been known..."                                                                ( Royal proclamation to the people of Bhutan, July 26, 1972)                                      "...as far as you, my people, are concerned, you should not adopt the attitude that whatever is required to be done for your welfare will be done entirely by the government. On the contrary, a little effort on your part will be much more effective than a great deal of effort on the part of the government..."                                     ( Address to the people of the Bhutan on the coronation day .

Goodbye Beloved Teachers

When life has thousands reasons to walk and live, I've thousands different ways to spend my coming holidays. So, does you all my ‘teacher-colleagues’ I've been working so hard for nearly, 280 days round the clock in, educating different lives with different wants, likes and ages. Honestly, I've been so busy and fully occupied for countless hours of teachings, correcting exam papers, assessing note books etc… – and that is called the life of a ‘every tangible teachers’. As a teacher/educator, almost every time - life goes beyond teaching and correcting exam papers. As, we need to engage our students into various fields of learning – going for extra classes, attending club activities, prayers, co-curricular activities, literary activities, cultural programs and so on…and this is the life of each teacher behind the screen. Yet, we get lots of blame starting from the people of highest rank to the lowest. In Bhutan, now a day in the name of suicide case, educa
