Today my daughter brought back from school a wonderful piece of art work, a bird made out of paper dish. It appeared a simple bird to my thirty plus mind, but no, it was no ordinary bird.
“It is Angry Bird” pointed out my four and half year old giving me a pitiful glance, how sad her mother couldn’t differentiate between an Angry Bird and a Normal one. To those of you who don’t know what an Angry bird is, It is a very famous online game.
I kept wondering, even after she left me alone and went to play with her friends, as to how I was when I was of her age, (I guess we all start doing this when our kids leave us dumbfounded!!!). Now, coming back to Angry birds, when we were growing up we only knew ‘Angry Mom’!! Forget about Birds, Angry Mom was more prevalent in every household than the birds and you got hit (spanked) unlike the birds which are a big Hit now!!.
Coming to talk about it, as I eyed things around my house I noticed that not many things were ‘i’ ed then. The telephone was a normal one not iphone, my writing pad was a plain one made with wood which could be banged to create some noise not the ipad. We were asked to maintain an eye to eye contact while talking not eye to iphone!!!
I guess our generation was one of the luckiest to have witnessed the technology change so dynamically ,We were so thrilled to get the first desktop , now we would be ‘outdated’ if we didn’t have Wii. It’s not only the ‘i” has changed but also ‘We’!! isn’t it?
