Well during pandemic time we had seen many ups and downs but , now, as we are safe. Really! Even if the situation has a major comeback in some places and shut down has been called again. Let's concentrate to the time when there was total lockdown and everyone was having two things in common, home and family but there's a missing one-- technology without which it was nearly impossible to survive and if you don't agree you will definitely agree after watching this let's talk about it :-
1 . Online banking service paytm, paypal,Google pay and several others . Do you remember while scanning the qr for paying something be it your electricity bills through phone or your mobile bills all that was possible because of online banking.And the impact was so huge that now 68 percent of Indian consumer are using online banking service and total wallet transaction rose to 250 crores in may which was almost double than the amount in Feb.And it was the Chinese company Paytm which ruled the list with a total amount of 1500 crore transaction in just 4 months.
2. Does anyone here know how does corona look like or where corona is ? Yes of course there's a technology that can take u near to that question , yes you are right it's the tracing technology and the app is our very own arogya setu . There were a lumpsum 36 crore users whoo downloaded the app during lockdown.It can tell you where a covid positive patient is there from you indirectly where corona is. Oh man!! address of corona it must be charging a lot of money for that . No it's possible with just your wifi and Bluetooth. It tells you how much far a corona patient is from you be 500 meter or 1 kilometres or 5 or 10. And if you come in contact with such a person it will show you a red note - indicating you are not safe and a green note to luckily announce- you are safe . Right now while talking to you as the vaccines have been released and the vaccination process is taking a lead to save our people -One can easily book appointment for the process through this app.
3. E - learning is a very sensitive topic to my heart and also secret to my good marks . Byjus, un- academy, toppr were providing good knowledge but the sad part is they were not free.These were optional ones but the most challenging part was to bring all the standard normal schools , colleges to the online platform and no wonder india aced it well. But some who did not have access to it ,were left out. but it is always good to something rather than nothing and this technology helped majority of Indian students study online. But the main achievement was conducting the final year xams . Just think if it had not been possible they would have ended losing a year of their career.But due to this technology xams could be conducted properly and those students are now pursuing higher education. But who ruled the e-learning during corona?! It's byjus a 2011 based indian company which is now the biggest edutech Company and saw a rise of about 200 percent new students.
4.Video calling technology - instagram and whattsapp video calls were quite helpful. Why video call is important? Well some were lucky who managed to reach out their loved ones but many were away from their loved ones and got stuck at some place and if you don't know how it feels of not being able to see your beloved for a really long time you must watch bigg boss.If You are missing your near n dear ones you can just use this technology and see them face to face . The most important thing in human life is birth and death . U never know what's ahead of u in near future. this technology helped bridging this distance. not only that, conference meetings were also conducted and both academic and extracurricular competitions could be organised in the teaching apps . The best example to this feature is what we are doing here right now. BUT WHo ruled this technology it was zoom video call with 100 people at a single meet many colleges , institutions , companies used zoom and made it the most popular video app during pandemic.
5 . Social networking - Lockdown could had been worst if social networking sites did not exist . Mood off or boredom go to fb or whattsapp or watch a video on YouTube or a movie on Netflix or scrolling feed on insta or videos on tiktok though it doesn't exist now. this was all made for entertainment purpose ,many used this platform wisely for learning craft, cooking making new things . Discussion of the studies happened in online lecture more precisely about how the teacher was? How did she teach - all such stuffs happens here. There has been a growth of 7 percent of new users in social media during pandemic. But again who ruled in pandemic it is none other than YouTube according to a survey ,YouTube with 98 percent was the most prefered choice this pandemic.
I would continue the causes if there is a good response. Stay safe , Stay healthy.
Thank you.
