Are You Taking Part In The Smart Home Revolution?

Improvement is the constant endeavour humanity has been undertaking for eternity. The basic virtue of humans is to improve their well-being with the help of technology; from developing simple tools for hunting and gathering to directing Google Assistant or Siri order nice and warm food from our favourite restaurant, we’re on a relentless quest for easing out our life. That's why we are witnessing an undergoing transition from conventional technology into smart technology.

What Is Smart?

The popular definition of ‘smart’ is anything that is able to connect to other devices, or to the internet, and can be controlled remotely. But, with the latest technology coming every day, this definition might become obsolete sooner or later, what is going to be consistent is the reason why smart devices are being invented. And why you should be using it. A smart device, according to me, can be defined as something that saves your time for more productive or “humanly” activities.

A machine is supposed to ease up the manual load and lightens the overall workload, whether it is installed in a factory or in your home. We have a long list of devices, with their wide applications, that we call “Smart” — smartwatch, smart camera, smart light, smart speaker, etc. (the list is only going to increase). But wait, how can we forget the device that itself is a revolution? The smartphone. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to declare smartphone as the father of all other smart devices.

Smart Home Assistant

Assistants such as Google Home is a blessing. Besides functioning as a voice-controlled WiFi speaker, it also aids in the automation of lights and other home entertainment requirements. What gives this edge over other home assistants is the power of inbuilt Google search. You can ask questions about the weather, book flights, hotels, or movie tickets, or get news updates. Ok, Google, tell us the next revolutionary item needed for creating a smart home!

Smart Lights

The simple act of switching lights on and off can be annoying if you have to do it in the middle of doing something important. With smart lights, it can be scheduled or programmed with the sun. It can save energy that otherwise is wasted due to our negligence. These lights also come with colour changing feature which produces a stunning studio look to an erstwhile boring interior.

Smart Security

There is a various range of smart security devices up in the market such as smart locker, smart camera, smart doorbell, etc. which can aid you to achieve a sound sleep by giving you a worry-free life. These devices together make smart security promising to intimidate the intruders and protect your loved ones. Plus with so many smart devices at your place, you will need to have their smart security, don't you?

The Need For Smart Devices

Smart devices are not an absolute necessity like oxygen or water. But to enhance the way you live and to live a less worried life, a smart device becomes an essential addition in your home interior or exterior, for that matter. Had there be no urge to improvisation, also known as modernisation, we would've still have been living in the jungle, following the rule of the wild. Humanity reached here because of our relentless desire for improvisation and innovation. It is technology has made us truly superior.

Why Smart Market Is So Promising

Companies with a useful and productive product or simply innovation-oriented companies have a greater tendency to outperform their hitherto traditional counterpart. It is the key to the longevity of a brand which magnifies its value. If your product is useful and marketable, and if people really like it, you naturally have a monopoly in the market. Apple became highly popular because of Steve Job’s vision for smart technology with consistent innovations. Others followed the visionary. It is a famous quote of him: “innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”

You might have observed some unnecessary features too under the garb of “smart” like WiFi kettle. It is because this segment is booming with innovators and consumers both loving it. People might not really need to boil water through a mobile device, do they? Anyway, innovation is all about showcasing inner madness. Like an art. Let us just see to what extent this “art” can mesmerize us making our lives easy.

But, technology howsoever may become smart, its owner will always be smarter. Just like people working under a topnotch businessman or a CEO are smart, but the credit always goes to the businessman or the chief, naturally making him smarter. It can also be said that he is “smarter” because he hired those smart people.

In the end, I would just like to state that smart products, with a formidable market, has undoubtedly changed the way people live by automation of routine, easily forgettable and annoying tasks with a simple click. It is a promising revolution aimed towards the timeless concern of humanity ― of improvisation and moving forward.

Pakistani Cricketers Anguish Over Kashmir, Or Their Inability To Play In IPL?

From the colonial times, cricket and politics remained an inseparable thing in the Indian subcontinent. Ashutosh Gowariker’s "Lagaan" gives a hint of when did they began mixing together. But the whole episode of Bhuvan ’s struggle of not paying the lagaan (taxes) to the British government —at times of monsoon crisis ( ghanan ghanan )— becomes small and insignificant, if politics over cricket between India and Pakistan is taken into account in the past few years. Just a few days before the commencement of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018, Pakistani cricketers began to shower their ‘alleged’ love and sympathy for Kashmir, now when they know couldn't take part in IPL, they are showcasing their outrage on Twitter —not against IPL— but against Indian army and India as a state. After the 2008 Mumbai attacks, perpetrated by Pakistan based terror organization ' Lashkar-e-Taiba' , the Indian government has put a ban on Pakistani players from participating in I...

Modigate And The Modi Brand — How One Affects The Other

With few Modis coming out as corrupt doesn't imply that all people with Modi surname are corrupt. But, it certainly hurt the humble chaiwala PM MODI brand image in public. PM MODI DURING HIS 2014 ELECTION CAMPAIGN, in a public rally, asserted that he will serve as a chowkidar (watchman) of India and will stop the ongoing loot. The rhetoric was so powerful that even corruption crusaders like Anna Hazare fall for it and almost came out openly in support of BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. But, he appears to have failed in his role as a chowkidar . With the fall of Nirav Modi brand after Modigate, the question is, is it going to affect the political ‘Modi’ brand? If yes, how? Nirav Modi’s association with PM Modi is not very clear. But the owner of Gitanjali gems and Nirav Modi's maternal uncle, Mehul Chinubhai Choksi has also been named in the PNB fraud . In a public speech, the way PM Narendra Modi mentioned his name indicates how well he know...

Netanyahu Invites, Khans Declines - The Bollywood Hypocrisy

THE PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL, Benjamin Netanyahu invited the entire Hindi film fraternity for an event called “Shalom Bollywood” . Some attended while a few didn’t. But, if you think it's as simple as that, like "it should be up to the priority of the invitee and those having a busy schedule may skip the event", you might be wrong. Politics is the case: #Bollywood , we love your films. They are hugely popular in Palestine. Please don’t allow Israel to use them to undermine our struggle for freedom, justice and equality. "There are two ways of living, either go along with what's happening, or take responsibility for changing it." pic.twitter.com/Jl46D7OxDf — PACBI (@PACBI) January 18, 2018 The interesting part is that the people who didn't show up in the event are the same ones who were keen for lifting the ban on Pakistani artists who were banned to work in India on the wake of fidayeen attack on Indian army in Uri, carried out by the guerril...

Bhabhiji Ghar Par, Jijaji Chhat Par— A Review Of India's Comedy Serials

Indian television has been doing great with serials like Bhabhiji ghar par hai (Sister-In-Law Is At Home), May I come in Madam, and the latest in the fray, Jijaji chhat par hai (Brother-In-Law Is At The Terrace). However gross these may sound, but it seems to be the reality of Indian television.  But, why are such indecent and depraved shows on the rise? Is it really the people interested? There must be a significant number of people watching such shows to make it viable  as it is not easy to sustain a failed show , especially on TV, where. I won't comment whether these kinds of serials should air on TV or not. It’d be intruding to an artist's freedom of expression, his right to express an idea, be it in form of non-fiction speech, or with some fictional characters telling a story. These shows are just harmless entertainment meant for making you laugh, right? However, if you ask me, my opinion would be that, in the name of comedy, the makers of such sitcoms are either fo...

The Story Behind WhatsApp Stirring Campaign To Stop Fake News And Rumours In India

After the government's timely reprimand to the ridiculously popular messaging app famous for reducing the barrier of distance between people, making business communication and note sharing easier — all with high privacy; and equally infamous for propagating provocative messages, fake news and rumours which, on several occasions, have resulted in the creation of a violent and murderous mob even costing lives of many, and then showing middle finger to the law enforcement bodies along with the judiciary, the app now appears to be taking things a little more seriously. The government, on last year, had slapped the Facebook-owned WhatsApp with legal notices with a clear warning that it would consider the messaging platform as an abettor in the spread of toxic rumours resulting in disharmony among citizens with law and order problems for the state, and will have to face the legal consequences in failing to put adequate checks for the same. As the world's largest democracy w...

The Great Indian Bank Fraud - A Look Into PNB SCAM

India’s second largest bank, PNB, has been duped with a massive amount of 11400 cr by a billionaire jewellery designer Nirav Modi, now a fugitive. Before being named and investigated in the mega- bank-fraud, the celebrity designer has been featured in Forbes India's Richest People List 2016. Not to mention, Mr Modi has been seen in the World Economic Forum summit at Davos with PM Modi himself. It explains his network. There must be multiple levels of corruption involved in Nirav Modi scam — from the highest management in the bank to bureaucracy, all must have colluded together to make this scam come true. Netas, too, are part of big businessman-banker nexus as they are the ones who fund the election campaign secretly. To reiterate, political parties fundings still do not come under the scanner of RTI. Indian Banking Exposed PNB, in a statement, said that fraudulent transactions took place in one of its branches in Mumbai with their apparent connivance. A single br...

Indian Rupee Demonetisation: Why It Cannot End Corruption Or Even Black Money

It was November 8, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a dramatic announcement, decided to scrap or demonetise two high-value Indian currency of the denomination of ₹500 and ₹1000. It means 85% of currency in circulation will no longer be a legal tender. All that precious notes have been converted into wastepaper overnight. It became the biggest talking point in every Indian household  —  from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Kutch to Arunachal Pradesh. After all, in a country where 98% of all transactions are conducted in cash, it was a big jolt. Demonetisation is usually associated with degrading economies and hyperinflation and often done by military dictatorships. It was surprising that a popular and democratically elected prime minister of a booming economy has resorted to demonetisation. Black money is the money held by people that have evaded taxation. It is illegal hoarding of unaccounted money which tends to exacerbate inequality because the biggest evas...
