Life before google

Reading a piece of paper, waiting for someone to explain the route or give away the directions. Remembering all the landline no’s. by heart … [unforgettable] maintaining a diary by penning down all the contact information, addresses and the visiting cards too. 

From no mobile phones to search engine on tips. Makes me wonder..how we gained every knowledge, we were not even from google era.

An hour of offline makes you blank… with no knowledge… everything asked is tied with the click of phone.

Little angel has her hands more moved in search of hunt, now she teaches her grandparents how to learn or update anything with the help of voice searching.

Remembering my trip with dad…

After too long visited Delhi, Father was prepping me and driver by the set of instructions… don’t take a speed turn or move faster. A speed turn can make you go round in a circle. At every turn, he used to get down and ask someone for the directions.

Phone in the hand …people with their head down are banging into each other, but are not ready to help. Some senior citizens gave the directions.

Dad with a smile, returning back… 

Curiously , ‘Dad ! the directions you are directing, seems wrong… ‘. Dad doesn’t want to listen..was so confident with the directions given by the old citizen and Confidently ,’This is part of travelling, your phone cannot guide us.’ After half an hour , we reached the wrong place.

Then requested him to follow the map directions. But, dad was still not convinced and was getting off the car to reconfirm the address. After another half an hour, we finally reached our destination.

With sigh of relief ,’So finally! we reached.. this technology of yours is good and curiously, how does it work… where all it can take you… and was amazed to hear All around the world.’

Next morning, with a smile ,’ Ask your friend google to guide us to our next destination.’

Glaring at my phone.. 

In today’s world , it’s very easy to search for anything around you. Even little angel doesn’t need a helping hand of her mother and wants to do everything on her own. I am little surprised by her and end up thinking she’s from google era and can never think of experiencing the world without it.
