Sharing information in today's world



Sharing Information

When was the last time we did something great and not shared that information on social networking sites? Be it a photo or video of your kids, a picture of yourself, dogs, nature or link from a website, or videos from YouTube or Vimeo and not shared that information on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Renren, Kaixin01 or 51.com?
OK. I will take that question a little further.

When was the last time you thought about sharing the picture/video/link even before you took that action? How many of you thought about checking Facebook or other social site to see if someone has “like” your picture or your post and if yes, how many of them commented it?

I think we know the answer. I am thinking of posting this article on my blog and also thinking about putting it on Twitter and Google+ and making sure it’s public.

I understand that human beings are a social in nature and we have been sharing information from our inception. I also understand that by sharing, one really opens up about themselves to a whole new world of information. 
It still amazes me how fast we have come to the concept of sharing the most intimate details about one’s life without any inhibitions.  Your “Thoughts” .  Be it a song, a picture or the fact that we are sharing minute details of our life, which few years back were considered TMI are now a part of sharing and no one seems to object it. Every new feature rolled in by Facebook as default or any other social network sites, pushes that boundary an inch further.  There are certain things which we think today cannot be shared on these social networking sites. For e.g. my salary, my 401(K) investments and so on; but seriously, how close we are to that fact that we are living in a naked community where sharing comes first, and then the after thoughts of sharing?

To Clean Energy or not?

India is a nation of almost 1.2 billion people. There is an immense need for resources and infrastructure to sustain the growing population and the booming Indian economy to keep the nation moving forward. India also lacks the basic infrastructure at rural areas to provide the basic necessity like power, roads and water supply. It's common in B-town city to have a structured way of "power-cuts" ranging anywhere from 2 hrs. - 8 hrs. a day in summer! For the longest period of time, India has been dependent on Coal, and its power is more or less generated by Coal energy or fossil fuels. Coal as everyone knows is one of the "old" energy technology responsible for carbon emission and India has always walked a tight line, when it comes to Kyoto Protocol aimed at fighting global warming. India is at a threshold to usher in Nuclear energy with a new proposed nuclear power plant in Jaitapur, Maharashtra. The proposed nuclear power plant is no ordinary plant -- The 5 b

Interesting Articles - May 2nd 2017

1. All eyes on iPhone Sales - iPhone 8 (4 mins) I love reading Bob Lefetz newsletter. He has his own unique way of saying the things that he wants to say where a layman can understand it. " Tech is all about utility, not fashion. And there’s no breakthrough coming, other than a curved screen. You needed a new phone when they went from 3G to LTE. You needed a new phone when they increased the screen size. You no longer need a new phone, especially since the carriers have stopped subsidizing the purchase, now that the true cost is evident. People drive their cars ever-longer, but analysts believe consumers are all gonna fork over a thousand bucks for a fashion statement? Not gonna happen. Otherwise, 3-D TV would have been a juggernaut and you’d be throwing away your present flat screen for one with 4k." http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/2017/05/01/iphone-8/ Bonus article  - Bob had an amazing post last week just before Twitter's quarterly results

Is it the rebirth of Nokia?

Is it the rebirth of Nokia?  The two products that were announced, definitely stands out from the hardware point of view, but is the normal die-hard audience ready for a non-symbian/Meego OS from Espoo? Is Windows 7 that compelling, that consumers will forgo an iOS device with equally great ecosystem or for that matter the amazing choices of hardware that one gets from different manufacturer on Android? I was  disappointed with the device on two fronts. No front facing camera and  absolutely no guidance on US release. I was hoping that from the time Nokia made the decision to move from Symbian to Windows Phone 7 in February, they couldn't leverage the partnership to bake Skype to provide an awesome alternative to cell plans..at least in Europe.  Front facing video calls with Skype and Windows Phone 7 OS could have had a good selling point. Also w ith the direction of XBOX integration in windows phone 7, 512 MB just doesn't cut it anymore. I understand, iPhone 4S has the
