The population of India is around 1.35
billion. And managing everything manually is a serious problem. And managing
things digitally is only possible through the internet. But the real question
is how to be connected with the internet always! And the simple answer is through
public
Wi-Fi.
It has become virtually impossible to imagine
our personal and working lives without the internet these days. People now
connected 24X7. Getting information is now a few clicks away.
Wi-Fi in Restaurants or in Hotels already starting to change our lifestyle.
Bettering the service sectors (e.g. food ordering, hotel booking, movie ticket
booking, cab service, bill payment, banking-avoiding lengthy queues in the
local branches, buying products), providing a paperless quicker society.
Literature would be taken out of the library. Education is now everyone reach, it helps students in studies. Navigation apps
help us to find the place and track our route. Help us to find nearby places.
It helps us auto-correct our grammar and spelling.
Party invites went out by paper, word of mouth
or a phone call. Literally, we can now save everything, we are not out of space
anymore, Television channels are streaming online, and we don’t need to be at
home to enjoy our favorite match. Sending documents to a Printer from any
computer or smartphone can be done through this. Control security cameras from
anywhere in this world. Controlling Air Conditioner from anywhere is now
possible because of this. In sort, people across the globe are able to perform their tasks remotely. Shopping from
any shop from anywhere is now possible.
It has
also dramatically changed the way in which people communicate with each other,
now communication is easier and cheaper. It forces us to invent new innovative
ideas. It is now in the health care sector too. Many doctors in modern hospitals
and clinics now carry personal digital assistant devices that enable them to
check patient records and make notes. Police can now instantly track criminal.
People now thinking about smart homes, smart
cities because of the power of connectivity. Think of a smart city model, where
the whole city is connected with each other. Where Wi-Fi and information
network linked to sensors to provide smart water technology, automated street
lighting, remote-controlled irrigation for parks and fountains, “on-demand”
waste pickups, digital bus routes and smart parking system, controlling the
traffic in streets and reduce traffic jams. Track the air quality, climate of
the city and send alerts to its citizens.
If a
sensor can closely monitor temperature changes and humidity levels and plant
health and send it to a database for analysis then we can improve our agriculture too. If we
can track heart rate, pulse, or even blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation,
respiration rate and temperature of every individual of a city then at the time
of any emergency an automated alert send to the nearest hospital so that we can
save lives. Send reminders to patients if patients forget to take their
medicine.
The economy of the country is now relying on
it.
It’s sometimes harder to think about what we
can’t do, rather than what we can.
