Digital divide between generations - Does it exist?

Administration Shrugs, But Evidence Says "Yes"

The term 'digital divide' describes the fact that the world can be divided into people who do and people who don't have access to - and the capability to use - modern information technology, such as the telephone, television, or the Internet. It includes the imbalance both in physical access to technology and the resources and skills needed to effectively participate as a digital citizen. Knowledge divide reflects the access of various social groupings to information and knowledge, typically gender, income, race, and by location.

The digital divide exists between those in cities and those in rural areas. For example, a 1999 study showed that 86% of Internet delivery was to the 20 largest cities. The digital divide also exists between the educated and the uneducated, between economic classes, and, globally, between the more and less industrially developed nations.

The second level digital divide, also referred to as the production gap, describes the gap that separates the consumers of content on the internet from the producers of content. As the technological digital divide is decreasing between those with access to the internet and those without, the meaning of the term digital divide is evolving. Previously, digital divide research has focused on accessibility to the internet and internet consumption. However, with more and more of the population with access to the internet, researchers are examining how people use the internet to create content and what impact socioeconomics are having on user behavior.

The global digital divide describes the Infotech disparities between different regions of the world in relation to generalised rates of social and technological development. One school of thought holds that, as the internet becomes progressively more sophisticated, the digital divide is growing, that those to whom it is least available are being left behind.

Hence concluding we can say that, Nobody believes that technology will be a quick-fix solution to poverty, but ensuring that underserved individuals and communities can access education and tools to improve the quality of their lives certainly appears to be a critical piece of the answer.

In my view, the fact that we have reached the halfway point in the diffusion of Internet access at home reinforces the need to seek policies to get the job done as quickly as possible. Rather than declaring victory and cutting back on efforts we should be refocusing efforts toward the acquisition of technologies at home. In fact, passing the halfway point marks a milestone in the public policy status of Internet access. It is beginning to look like a service that merits the status of worthy of universal service support.

10 Ultimate girlfriend mysteries solved !!

Awesome  Article from TOI.

In this day and age, mankind has figured out how to engineer a nanoparticle to walk the dog, post a letter and empty the crumbs from the kitchen toaster.

And yet, your lady (or the lady you want) can still confound you with wants and needs you just don't understand.

Is there some way to hack into this FOS (Female Operating System)? Maybe an online translator that can interpret the language of the modern girlfriend?

Well, we can't explain every inexplicable thing she does. But we can highlight the most familiar (no doubt) scenarios and give you a cross-sectioned, 3-D snapshot of her brain at that moment along with a little bonus perspective.

Here, the top 10 confounding girlfriend mysteries, defounded:

Mystery No. 1: She wears killer shoes .
She insists on wearing shoes that have no resemblance to the human foot, then complains that her feet are killing her.

Mystery No. 2: She's fickle with frenemies.
She can go from best friend to mortal enemy with someone within 48 hours (and revert back in 72).

Mystery No. 3: Her self-esteem is a fashion victim.
An article of clothing can make her feel thin or fat.

Mystery No. 4: She gets flash hunger attacks.
When she gets hungry, she has to eat "right now" or she'll faint. (Didn't she see it coming?)

Mystery No. 5: She clones her clothes.
She buys multiple items of clothing that look exactly the same.

Mystery No. 6: She bans many foods.
One food can become vilified virtually overnight. (Salad dressing has to be on the side etc.)

Mystery No. 7: She's best friends with celebs.
She feels perfectly entitled to talk about an actress/singer/socialite and that celebrity's outfits/boyfriend/makeup in detail, though she's never actually met her (and probably never will).

Mystery No. 8: She preps forever.
"Throwing on some jeans" takes at least half an hour.

Mystery No. 9: She hairballs the pipes.
Much like steel wool, small dense nests of her long hair clog the sink and shower drains constantly.

Mystery No. 10: She's 360-degree self-obsessed.
She's as obsessed about looking as good from the back and sides as from the front (hence the yoga-inspired contortions in front of the mirror to inspect herself from all angles).

Girlfriend Management : The latest branch of management

 A goal or objective is a desired result a person  envisions, plans and commits to achieve a personal desired end-point in some sort of assumed development. Many people endeavor to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines.

Talking with respect to the girlfriends, there may be personal goal set for high total number of girl friends in a human life. Ex: Manish kumar

OR  personal goal set for zero  girl friends in a human life.  Ex : Uncountable.

Achieving this complex goal

 Achieving complex and difficult goals of increasing the count for number of girlfriends requires focus, long-term diligence and effort. Success in this field  requires forgoing excuses and justifications for poor performance or lack of adequate planning; in short, success in this field  requires emotional maturity.

The measure of belief that people have in their ability to achieve a personal goal also affects that achievement. Best example : Manish Kumar.

 Long term achievements rely on short-term achievements. Emotional control over the small moments of the single day rejection  makes a big difference in the long term. But it is better to have only short term achievement. Life time girlfriend should be your parents choice only.

Advantages of this type of management

1.Time management : You  learn to manage time ,if u have many girlfriends at the same time. Timings of your incoming miss call and outgoing phone calls ,so that  to avoid one of the GF land to a situation of call waiting is very injurious to health and your love career. So men at the best learn to utilize the available resources and time to the best to avoid the clash.

2.Frequent reconsideration (consistency checks) – One small fight lead to reconsideration and it increases your mobility, which is the most demanding feature by any MNC company. Hence increases your chance to get a good job.

3.Stress management : If you are able to handle 2-3 GF at the same time then you are never gonna  have more stress than this in your life. Hence u learn to handle stress.

4.Feasibility : The feasibility of love always sustain.

5. Leadership : Once u enter into this field you become  leader  who knows to lead the girls..ha ha ha.

THANKS ILP

Ah..!!! 
At last  got the time to post after such a long time...no no I wasn't busy with TCS but I didn't got the time due to completion of other stuffs (yaaro there was many other works like enjoying weekends , covering places not yet visited in trivandrumetc etc etc).

So now after completing my TCS ILP training @Trivandrum without working for even a single extra hour, that’s really a record. I am now at my base branch Kochi. I must really say it was excellent training time at Trivandrum. I enjoyed a lot in both CILP (common ILP) and stream training both. I got many new friends and specially kannada friends  ,I am never going to forget.

I did my stream training in mainframe stream but in kochi searching for mainframe project yet. Getting offer for other technology other than mainframe. I don’t understand then what for they trained me in a special technology. This is simply wastage of time and money in training us.

I must say never take tension after coming to TCS..just enjoy and every thing will go right.
T-86 never going to forget u all. Kahin bhi jao yaaro but be in contact always. Always enjoy  Mainframers and Amrithan’s. Thanks to all my TCS friends for making my ILP training wonderful !!!
