Rise of the Old

Rise Of the Old

Lately, i've been trying to understand whats up with this world. Everything which happens to be said so called 'New' or 'Latest' seems to be something i've known of for sometime. And its not just about one thng, its with most of the things.

In the 1990's, there used to be ths trend of reading book( mean, its always been there, but it was quite a rage back then). But later, since early year 2000, things changed. People become more of a visual being rather than a textual one. Enjoyment and refreshment meant more of partying in clubs and going out for movies rather than have a small get-together's and lazying out on weekends with a pipe and a book. Those days went by.
But since last year, changes started to pop up agan. The Kindle made it 'trendy' to read books again, which meant more book sales. But whats new wth E-books, the've been here for quite sometime,but why this sudden rise. The answer is - the physical touch. Fnally man has something to touch in a book. The Kindle's design makes it more like reading a physical book, and thats what appeals the human.

Now people used those early analog equipments to monitor electrical systems, but ever since they encountered digital, they switched to the latter. But in the recent times, companies have been also constructing the old analog equipments for the sake of 'backup'. Maybe even they know that no matter how smart 'artificial intelligence ' is, its still no match with 'nature's intelligence'.

There used to be a generation when people used typewriters for writing out anything lengthy. QWERTY was made just to reduce efficiency of the human hand,so that the typewriter would have enough time to rebound. But look at this age. Instead of the old numeric keypad, even the cheapest phone coming nowadays has a full QWERTY keypad, when the only thing they're doing is typing text messages of maximum 1000 words, and that too including spaces and special characters.

At the end of the day, we can easily see that human being is just the way it used to be, its just that forms change, the basic tendency doesn't. Man changes according to needs, but this doesn't apply to his nature.

Whay do you have to say on this? Do you agree or think differently? Feel free to pour in
