Let’s find the “A” that changed our lives
Joke of the day-
I asked my wife for a newspaper immediately as I needed it for something. She said not to be daft and to borrow her iPad. Well, that spider didn't know what hit it...

Jokes apart
With the technological change which we accepted we didn’t realize the life which we started living.
We are so much used to with these words and gadgets and applications that they are now part of us.

A for AI:
Artificial intelligence needs no introduction. It has changed our thought process our living ways completely.
Every brand doled out AI-related tech like Santa Claus gives you candies on Christmas. Be it Xiaomi, Honor, Asus, Vivo – everyone talked about how AI or artificial intelligence now makes the phones smarter and especially their cameras better.
Augmented Reality
I’m sure the latest in town trend is already making rounds on your mobiles. During lockdown days it’s so trending to keep kids busy.
I was really awestruck when the first time I opened it and curiosity had no limits.
Amazon Echo
Another A that changed this decade was – Amazon Echo
Apple AirPods
Yet another “A” that bought a digital change in our lives is Airpods
Apple AirPods, launched in 2016, changes the way people listen to music. The gadget has captured the imagination of millions and has acquired a cult status.
So this decade saw many revolutionizing “A’s”. Amazon Echo, Alexa all have changed the way we live & think. Still, we need to see pros and cons both of any gadget that comes to our hands. We need to be careful about how our youth and kids are utilizing it. Change is coming and inevitable, what matters is how positively and properly we use and accept it.
Anchor FM – Radio by the people
– a free app for Android and iPhone which allows you to broadcast live clips to a global audience. Anchor FM enables mini-broadcasting and the creation of an audio conversation that can be likened to an audio version of Twitter.
That’s all for today

Wanna peep into my A post for tiffin treats…
Wow such an informative post..and for a person like me it is something a great learning. I am sure with this series, I would be able to learn more about the gadgets and technology.
Hey, surbhi thanks for finding it informative.
Yes, the decade brought a big change with these gadgets and trying my best to peep into there existence.
Hahah, yes spiders need digital hits too 😀

Oh yes! Artificial Intelligence, Apple and Amazon certainly changed my life!
Yes, they just became part of our life without we noticing.
How amazing Pragun! So many information in a single post. Lovely, loved them all. Will be back again here.

Interesting to see Asana on the list, Pragun. It has changed my life for sure. I will be following this series for sure.
Thank you ritu for stopping by and loving it.
Yes, Yoga and asana entered my life too in the last decade and it certainly changed the way I look at life.
Yes, it is indeed true that within a couple of decaades technology has introduced us to things we could not even imagine earlier.
Yes, and we have flown in this technological change and now can’t think without them.
I am happy that we didn’t have Alexa while growing up. It taught us to have a meaningful conversation. Today, according to kids, Alexa has all the answers. I guess the best part is she never gets bored.:)
So true, and our kids are now amused how we survived without Alexa or amazon. But seriously those were the simple soulful days.
HaHa, that’s a nice one, but what if she gets bored someday?
Very nice post !!! AI and AR are world changing concepts…hope they are used for good!!!
