Wireless flow of blood
By Ahmad Farshid Ghyasi
Imagine taking away somebody’s computer or mobile phone? Living would be difficult without them. Technology has changed the way people live in most of the developed and developing countries. In technologically advanced countries like Japan, research shows that any typical person with a mobile phone is physically reachable to his or her mobile phone 95% of the time during a day. This means that these devices are becoming part of us. In addition, a student waking up in the morning does not go straight to brush his teeth, but looks at his laptop screen to check and read the new mails, news or friends online on instant messenger to greet them.
The interaction between technology and human being is getting more and more. Internet connected devices are becoming necessary part of human lives. Instant information retrieval from the web, be it the latest news, a message from a friend, latest music titles are becoming daily habits. Use of internet and mobile phone is being listed in the category of addictive items such as cigarette, alcohol etc. The flow of information is becoming as necessary to us as the flow of blood in our body. The network infrastructure plays as important role as the blood veins play in our body, by pumping up information to us all the time.
The wireless and mobile technologies make this information delivery quicker, faster and keep us more connected than ever. Technologies such as WiFi, WiMAX, Bluetooth, wireless internet on mobile phones and SMS are technologies and tools that enable this connectivity and make us more addicted to them. In future, these technologies will become more integrated with human lives. Better hardware devices will be available in the market which will adapt themselves to our nature. Devices will be more intelligent by giving us information we need on the right time and right spot. We will become more dependant on these technologies. How these technologies will change the our behavior and to what extent and direction is still a question?
