Vehicles

"Oh .....you are going that way? Let me drop you. I just got my new car." "I am in a hurry.........i need to DRIVE fast now." These are the most common lines one would ever speak if they had a vehicle. Most of the people in the world own a vehicle.........however small it may be.
Transportation is related to time now. The faster you travel....the more it is beneficial. What if a genie came on earth.......decided never to introduce us to such transporting devices.......and the whole world would have to walk?
That would be beneficial as most of busy men and women could exercise without wasting any of their precious time. But........are all of our legs suited to do so much of walking? In the earlier times, for every 95 people walking on the road, there was 1 car (true fact). Now, for every 1 person walking on the road, there are about 20 vehicles!
Mention should also be made of the fact that after the mid 80s, even the number of aeroplanes, trains, cars increased drastically. Walking for even short distances became an unpopular practise amongst the ones who could afford vehicles.
Then came the revolutionary 90s. Nobody was willing to walk even for short distances. Using vehicles was important, is important and will remain important.
None of us can avoid it. We cannot just live without vehicles. Transportation across the city, or state, or the country has become easier after the invention of vehicles. We think vehicles should be given more praise than what they actually deserve. That is the human mindest, forgetting something extremely important once they have struck something else. This is what we want to highlight.
Think about it. Considering cycles as vehicles as well...........think about how a compartment on wheels with a mechanism for movement has changed our lives. After all...........we are dependent on them.
However, we would like to take due notice of the fact that we must use vehicles judiciously, in order to face the environmental crisis that is looming ahead.....

Friction

This one is an absolute gem... Just try to imagine to this..... Amazing, isn't it? For all those who don't know what friction is, it is the force which stops moving objects when they rub against another object. This friction is pivotal in stopping vehicles. If not for it, all objects would be perpetual motion.
Just taking one step would mean that one would never be able to stop....!! Some people have said that machines will be come very efficient with no wastage of energy, but friction is the force that is so important that we would not have been able to progress a little bit without it......
The amazing part is that one will need rocket packs to stop moving, that too, in the opposite direction in which one is moving.... Usually, in our world, we need rocket packs to go quick, isn't it? Well, just one jump would take you to outer space!!! It would be one small step from you, but a giant leap as well!
Leaving the jokes aside, I would seriously like to ask you if you confidently think that you can live a usual life without friction? Yeah, I do hope that this post evoked some thoughts in you. Watch this space for more.....

Mobile Phones

Most of our lives revolve around gadgets. Be it i-pods, playstations,etc. (we are technically challenged, so please excuse us for not mentioning more gadgets!!!). This brings us to our topic, mobile phones. First, life might come to a standstill. About 70% of the world use mobiles for a minimum of 3 hours. It can be teenagers, using it for messaging(like we do it), or corporates who have inbuilt internet in it, living online,24X7. Whether it is for chatting unnecessarily, or long-distance calls between army menand their families, mobile phones have become an integral part of our lives.

Speaking in terms of its absence, everybody would have to had to travel long distances to meet each other. Yeah, one can chat or IM either....... Even VoIP can be used.......

Plus, there wouldn't have been teens boasting off their different models of phones!!
Corporates would always turn on their laptops for small issues, which could have been solved. Some mobiles are a combination of two or more gadgets. They have an inbuilt camera, music player and others(technically challenged). That is what is worth boasting off for teens in terms of number of features. Even your taxi driver would be having a mobile phone.


The good thing is that all researchers would be happy as they wouldn't have had to re-search on one other topic. Another thing is that terrorists woldn't have had access to mobile phones.....which means no communication between them!

Jokes aside, mobile phones are quintessential in one's technical life. If there are none...............ICE AGE is back. Watch this space for more evocative thoughts.....
