Orkut, facebook, hi 5, mobile phones...there is no doubt in it that we are getting hi fi day by day by way of technology, but the big question is the aticate or manners in use of these things.

Now evey Tom, Dick and Harry has mobile phones because they have become so cheap. (Ofcourse, I am talking from price point of view!) But where is the true way of using it? The Bhartiya caller will ask first (in Gujarat, I have marked this thing particularly), ‘Who are you?’ Man, you have called. You should first tell your identity. Ok. Many a times, it happens that after asking ‘who are you?’ he will ask you to give phone some body else. (He will order it, not request). If you want some another person, why did you ask for my identity? Some people will ask after calling, ‘Where are you?’. Buddy, after getting call, I am not in heaven that is for sure. There may be no connection between the intention of calling and the location of receiving person. And many callers also do not bother whether the receiver is realy have time to talk.
Another interesting thing happens is that you have gone personally to meet some Mr. Joy. Now Mr. Joy gets a call on his mobile. Now you become less important for Mr. Joy, but the person who is calling from distance gets importance. What a tregedy! And it is not sure that the conversation will take short time.
Now take sms services. In language of Himesh Reshamiya, fabulous, mind blowing, fantastic that is what we can say about sms service. So fast, so quick, so speedy! But many sms writers forgets or do not bother to write his or her name at and of sms. They take it for granted. Ofcourse, it may happen that sms senders number is saved or even not saved.But even if it is saved, many a times name is not shown in sms or call. Lets assume that sms sender writes his name only. Will it be suffice? No. there can be many person having similar names. He or she should write his or her full name with some fact revealing identity. e.g. Vijay Malhotra, de. manager, SBI.
Now come to email. Many persons just forward emails without deleting the previous persons’ email address and other details. It can be some time dangerous or even some time mischief can be happen as receiver can get email ids of so many people in one mail and you can not say with full confidence that receiver is 100% good person.
In social networking sites like orkut, facebook and hi5, every Tom want to be friend of Dick. Just click on button- add friend and request is reached. Mahesh becomes friend of Ramesh and sees that Nilesh is friend of Ramesh, sends friendship request to Nilesh. Now not necessarily Nilesh is knowing Mahesh. Whenever I get this type of friendship request in orkut or facebook, I send message, ‘Do we know each other? Yes, then how?’ If the requesting person gives appropriate answer than and only I approves him or her. But one case happened with me gets me laughing and same time annoying also.
One person requested me to become friend. I asked same question written above. It replied back with asking me who I am! I told it that I was journalist. Without telling about itself It replied me, ‘Welcome!’
