Cyber World - Part I

When I was a kid, we had a dedicated device for everything. For music, there was a walkman. For games, there were video games. For movies, there was a VCR. For TV serials, there was an antenna/dish TV. For the internet, there was broadband with a computer. In the last two decades, all those devices has found one soul, i.e. smartphone. 

I'm able to leverage the technologies to its maximum because I've experienced the evolution of the technologies. At that time, there was game like Super Mario and Contra to play on TV with a video game attached to it. While for computer games, there was games like Road Rash and Project IGI. In these games, there was multiple levels and you can complete these games with given limited number of life. The games Counter Strike and Need for Speed Most Wanted was first multiplayer games we played during school on desktop computer but it wasn't like current multiplayer games like PUBG. All these games can be played with other players only when they are connected with same network. Today's gaming company's are able to make big money just because they're multiplayer games. And multiplayer online games become popular only after smartphone and 3G/4G in India.

In 2007, I first time connected internet with my computer using Nokia phone with data cable otherwise there were used to be cyber cafe where we had to pay hourly to surf internet. At that time, I was there wasn't 3G/4G but EDGE(Enhanced Data GSM Environment) network and the downloading speed was maximum 50kbps with expensive recharges other 8-10 kbps. You would only be able down documents and mp3 songs. But also, there was pocket MP3 and MP4 player what Apple called its device iPod. At that time, we were used to have 128MB, 256MB and 512MB memory cards which were used to be big in size. 

When I had internet, I started exploring and learning science because I always had curiosity to know how things works. I started finding answers to the question what normally we don't get. Because internet was slow and we had limited access to the internet, I started downloading different books and magazines related to science. And eventually found a book of programming one day and I wasn't able to understand that book for several months but that book changed my life.
