Emoji…Happyji

Hi folks, good to connect with you again. After the smartphone revolution, there is a lot of evolution in our communication process, definitely there is a change the way we connect with community. Completely a new transition for sure. There were days where we used to say “can you SMS me your…”, now please “waatsap me your….”

In fact, mobile has taken over our mobility and made us as “Inability” infants. Because of our Inability to meet our friends, Inability to meet our relatives, to connect with the banks, to connect street groceries, to say hello to neighbors, to say hello grandpas, grandmas; surprisingly we also started offering Aarti, lighting of lamps and candle lighting to our Gods and goddesses through mobile.

Now, thanks to WhatsApp (other message platforms) which is connecting the world through WiFi (2, 3,4Gs) and now slowly it is making an attempt to replace the Wifeee’;) WhatsApp is also helping in reducing the bandwidth of Husbands too. The speed of connecting and disconnecting boyfriend-girlfriend relations are too scary ;). I remember my mother asking repeatedly whether I am hungry or not looking at my face, but today most of mothers has to see their children facebook's wall posts about their children's appetite   

     

When I started using these apps like you (not you), like any other person ;), I have realized the reason behind this constant use of apps has new set-up (culture) called Waatsup instead of Catchup :)  with smiles, Namaskaars, winks, blushing, confused, surprised, claps, love and broken heart, punch etc are something which constantly pressing in our minds & hands. We use these emoticons so much on day-to-day, when we see same person suddenly, our actual emotions are underplaying due to these emotions. In other words, the receiver perceives us as personality of less emotions or no emotions; which is again a disastrous conclusions. For human being to survive and sustain, these emotions play a very major role not just from the professional perspectives but also mostly into their personal spaces. Of course, I might scoreless in this argument but definitely has a possibility of hindrances at later point of time.

       

I think there is a need to develop new ways and technologies that increase actual human contact and physical communication? Few days back I was in a function and saw 50 faces buried into small glowing screens instead of talking, smiling and interconnecting. Thanks to smartphone apps, how we communicate and express emotion might be faster and to a wider audience today, but it's also simultaneously disconnecting us just as fast with our fellow humans. 

No longer are we catching up for coffee and laughs, caroms for tea-break etc. WhatsApps, FBs, Twitters are bringing us closer but as humans, we are running far from the personal touch with bunch of people in this small world called you and me 

I am sure, time will have an answer to it…at the moment enjoy with Emoji and be happy ji. Do write your emos while having MoMos….Happy Times ahead :)
