Technology has grown so much in today's time, or you can say it has become so ingrained in us that without technology, it would be very difficult for us to live and live in today's time. A man can live without light for a day. Can live without TV. We can live without food but cannot live without a phone in today's time, and technology has really brought a lot of changes in our lives and many innovations with the help of which today we can sit anywhere and send anything to anyone or talk to them. All this has been possible only because of technology.
The biggest change that has happened in our lives is that it has made our lives so much easier. Earlier we had to go from one city to another just to talk to a person. Because there was no means of communication, there was no landline, but that used to be in someone's house, but today we can pick up a phone and call anyone. We can make video calls. We can chat in real time and do anything; all this has happened because of technology, and this is happening because of innovation, due to which today we can talk to anyone sitting anywhere. We can send anything to anyone. If we want to send a gift to someone, we can order it online and send it, so today we don't even have to go anywhere, and all the work can be done sitting at home.
This is the most important thing, which plays the most important role in our life, and technology has made it very easy. That is money transfer. In earlier times, if you needed money, you had to take a loan from someone, or if you asked someone, it would take three to four days for it to reach you. But if you ask someone for money, he will send the money through UPI or net banking within 1 to 2 minutes, and this is a very easy way, and we do not have to charge you anything for this, and you do not have to go anywhere, and it is done instantly. Due to which, if you have an emergency, you can easily transfer it, or you can do it by calling the bank.
The major transportation that has happened is education, or I used to study in school or college in the earlier times. Education was available, or we could study from books only, but today there are many colleges or schools on YouTube that provide their education online, due to which we can study sitting anywhere. Today every student can join their classes sitting anywhere. We can attend classes sitting anywhere. It has become very convenient because during the exam time we did not get important notes or the help that we needed, but online we can sit and read anything on YouTube anytime, and it is very easy and simple. The teachers there are really good, and it was very good, and in today's time the digital notes are very helpful. We can take them out and read them anytime, and they do not take up much space in our system.
In earlier times, people used to go 100 km away and search for work and work in the city, and it was a very difficult thing because those people either had a job or did not have one, and they had to leave their family to do the job. But today, because of online services, you can do your work sitting anywhere because those people only care about getting the work done, and this online service is also so good that you can work in Google Box Office from anywhere. You can do this work by joining Meet. You can work online sitting anywhere. All you need is a good and stable internet connection, and you can work from home sitting anywhere, and this has been very convenient. Even in Covid-19, we have seen how well we were able to work in the convenience, and we used to work sitting online.
In earlier times, there used to be only one or two TVs in the entire village, due to which the TV we wanted to watch was very limited, or we never got to watch it, and if we ever got to watch it, it would get disconnected, but in today's time, watching entertainment or having internet has become very easy because so much has come. Laptops, iPads, phones, and tablets—so much is available that we can download and watch any movie today. There are so many options on YouTube as well. Facebook, Instagram, following, and so many other places—technology has really made our life very easy, and due to all these innovations, our life has become very settled and much better.
Technology has improved many other things and made it very easy. For example, earlier, if we had to book a train ticket or a flight ticket, we had to stand in a very long queue, or we were not able to get tickets for a long time, and we had to stand in a queue for Tatkal later. But today there are so many online apps where you can book a train ticket or any other ticket online in a second, and that too very easily. There is no hassle and no hidden charge. You will have to pay only as much as you want. There is just some additional platform fee, but other than that nothing else is charged, and it has become very convenient.
