What are the effects of changes of 'telecom Revolation' on the human lifestyles

Everyone was totally focused on the taleteller with opened eyes,
ears and sometimes mouths. Nowadays this would be a bit different (if not impossible):
having the family members time by time running out to answer calls, and the sound of
the cricket being replaced by the sound of the mobile buttons while writing SMS. No
more smoldering fire in the background, maximum the humming of the air condition
would give some similar feeling.Throughout history there have been lots of inventions which had deep impact on our
life. In the field of communication these are the appearance of alphabet, the postal
service, homing pigeons, newspaper, printing press, typewriter, photo, telegraph, fax
machine, telephone, radio, television, etc. But none of these made such a big change
in such a short time like the appearance of cell phones and internet. The mobiles –
as we many times refer to them – made us truly mobile. Wherever we go we can be
reachable and as it is often advertised “never lose anymore a …”, and the sentence can
continue with different words, like: call, message, meeting, etc.
Daily life
Many of our fathers started the day with the reading of newspapers – some of them
then used it also for an alternative purpose –, then they left to work. Nowadays the
routine begins with checking emails and newsfeeds. The obsolete method is using
a computer for this purpose; the truly modern people do it on their Smartphone or
Pocket PC, while being on the way.
This revolution of communication actually brought the “Kingdom of Heaven” for the
couch potatoes. There is no more need to get up for almost anything. We can order
food, clothes, accessories, devices and even cleaning service through internet. Since
wireless services are available, we don’t need to worry about cables. Having a wireless
enabled mobile device (phone, iPOD, iPAD, Sony PSP, etc.) can be enough to surf on
the web, read news, communicate with others, work6
and play without even getting
up from the sofa.
Work
I still remember when my mom was waiting at home for the phone call after the job
Conclusion
So many changes came about in such a short time that we couldn’t even really
understand what happened to us. From one side our life became truly much more
comfortable than ever before. We receive information (news, family photos, films,
felicitation, etc.) faster and easier than ever before. We can shop online from the other
side of the world and the product comes at our door.
Those who were far before came closer to each other (“We are living now in a global
village”), we can reach anyone anywhere in an instant. But at the same time those
who were near got further from each other, spouses spend more time on phone or on
internet and less time together.
As in many cases, also here the coin has two sides. In our digital world today nearly
all our data is stored on computers, and this way it is easy to access it in incredible
speed; whether it is just a birth date, an address, a book, some multimedia content or
bank account details. But this way it became somehow easier also for the bad guys to
get them and at the same they can remain unrevealed, thanks to the characteristics
of the internet. Information can be so valuable that it is “worthy” to steal it. So many
inventions were made for this purpose and also many others to protect them. So it is
a little bit like the fight between good and evil, and we just hope that the good side.
