A beautiful sunrise and a scary thought...

Greetings to you this Monday Morning!!
This is my first visit to the eastern coast of India and I think this is a good opportunity to transmit to you all, a live "coverage" of what I am seeing right now. The time right now is about 6:20 am and I am at the Marina beach. As I type this on my COMPAQ, ahead of me I can see the endless expanse of the Bay of Bengal. The sun is just beginning to peep over the horizon casting a lovely pink shade in the sky and the water below is doing its bit to make this a lovely canvas………and I am capturing this moment to share with you all… Here is what I am actually doing – I have a SONY Cybershot (Courtesy, Swati’s recent US visit) which is freezing this moment in time. The cybershot is plugged into my COMPAQ notebook and another port of the notebook is plugged into a LG / RELIANCE CDMA mobile phone…… Now….I will use all this gadgetry and of course the world wide web to try and virtually bring you a shot of this rising sun… Isn’t technology amazing? And the way it is touching our daily lives is all the more astounding.
Now here is the scary thought….What is alarming is that till about 6 months back I was traveling with a much bulkier OLYMPUS camera, a much heavier and slower COMPAQ and a much older GSM NOKIA 3310. I was very happy of all that gadgetry too, but in 6 months I now think that my new gadgets are much better machines…the earlier ones are all OBSOLETE.
This thought takes me to a question which our CEO, recently posed at a company meeting – He asked "What is it, that a 40 year old person can do, which a 30 year old cannot?"… And the real answer to that is "Nothing". So in other words the 40 year old is moving toward becoming obsolete. And that is probably where we all are headed unless we quickly do something about it. Learning-Unlearning and relearning is the new mantra in a rapidly changing world….and unless we are at it, we will soon become the past like my OLYMPUS and NOKIA 3310…
Think about this, but while you think please still take a moment to enjoy what I just captured on my cybershot…the Sunrise at Marina…..
Have a great week!!
