TechTalks: 2 organizations which will improve the changed world

Our world has experienced major changes, which made our life better but... not perfect. 'Nothing can be perfect, you gotta keep improving', I agree with this, but I think we will soon achieve “perfectness”.
In 1962, Arkansas,U.S.A. Wal-Mart was launched.
And 13 years later in 1975 Microsoft was launched. Both of these organizations have changed our world, both in different fields, one in retail, while one is in technology. But, what happens if you try to use both of these? You form E-retail and the first thing that comes in your mind when you think of E-retail is  

Founded by Jeff Bezos in Seattle , 1994 this organization has experienced major ups and downs. Many  e-commerce firms were shut down due to the unstable environment of the dotcom (.com) between 1996-1998 but, Amazon survived and 20 years later, it is one of the most successful online retailers or let's say e-tailers. The are high on development and innovation and  the results are right in front of your eyes - fire phone, fire TV, fire hdx, kindle ereaders and what not. They also have amazing services like Amazon Prime, Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Fresh, Amazon Student, Amazon Mom, Amazon Instant Video, Amazon Web Services, Amazon Appstore and Amazon Global. 6 out of 10 adults who use internet in the U.S are Amazon customers. And Amazon have recently announced that they are investing $2 billion on their Indian Business, so we can expect them to bloom in India.

The simplest question for all Internet users to answer is -

Which website is the most important to you?

And I think most of you will agree. Google is an essential part of our lives. The multinational corporation was founded in September 4, 1998, Menlo Park, California, United States by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. All of us are familiar with the Google search  and that’s why there are over 3 billion searches daily.Then, there’s Gmail & Hangouts for communication. Google Drive for the office & Newsstand for the daily headlines. Google also have the most famous mobile OS that is Android. They have developed The  Chrome OS  and Nexus Devices. They recently acquired DeepMind, the artificial intelligence company from UK.

TechTalks: Kindle For all Generations





I just bought the Kindle Paperwhite 3G 2nd generation and the results with it have been very impressive. With a stunning 6” display and an adjustable backlight to suit your reading style, it is the best reading experience you will ever get. The 3G network connects directly with Amazon Whispernet and its partners, enabling you to have a 24X7 access to the Amazon store. High speed internet is free with the 3G model of the Paperwhite; it allows you to download All Amazon content from the web browser. I am an extensive reader and almost all the books which I read are available for a lower price in the Amazon eBook store. Most Classics are free on Kindle and English teachers will find this a breakthrough device to read and teach.

It is a one-time investment of $189 and you will have enough books to read for a lifetime because the Kindle allows you to store more than a1000 books on your device and unlimited storage on the Cloud. It is a boon for all voracious readers! One more amazing thing about this extraordinary device is that it is meant for everyone My grandma loves reading books by Munshi Premchand ( an Indian Author) on it! The kindle e-readers are for all generations ;

My family was not very keen on the idea of buying a Kindle, and my sister never stopped complaining about how there will be no opportunities to ‘smell the pages’ and hear the sound of paper as each one turns, and how the Kindle will ruin the reading experience. My mother only talked about the harmful radiation from electronic devices. But my father came to my rescue and said the Kindle device will help you read more and better, and it indeed has. When I used to read hardcopy book, I did not understand the meaning of difficult words and instead of checking their meanings in the dictionary, I just ignored them like most lazy children. But, now all it requires to check a meaning or to look for Wikipedia information about a word instantly is just a simple touch! My experience with the content has also been amazing, all books are available at a much lower price and you can also subscribe to free newspapers and magazines from www.webtoread.com. While reading a book you can easily highlight or add notes and you can adjust the light you need depending on the situation. You can read in the bright sunlight or in a dark room with no lights on. Most parents’ concern maybe that it will harm the eyes, but Amazon (and me too!) assure you that it does not. It is a scientifically proven fact! You can indulge into your book and read from dawn to dusk sipping hot coffee and relaxing.

The Kindle is simple to use but it is a very powerful device. The world runs on technology and we must progress as well! Update to the Kindle and find a new world of awesomeness awaiting you..!
