POST EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY- TEXT MESSAGE

Technology has become an integral part of our life. We have all kinds of gadgets surrounding us everywhere, be it our workplace or our home. But the main question that arises in my mind is that weather the technology is shifting our societal norms! We are so much dependent on technology that we don’t know exactly how to function in a world void of it. Here are 5 simple text messages used by women who surely affect the other person favorably, or unfavorably:-

1) Texting in between a conversation
Women are mostly quite particular that they don’t miss even a single call, text or an email. That may be in between of cooking, taking bath, sleeping or even at the time of quarrel with her boyfriend. They just want to make sure that they are available on their phone 24x7. Nothing is more annoying than not having the attention of the person you are with. It surely hampers your relation adversely.

2) On phone while driving
Women are most likely found busy on their cell phones, when they are driving. They find the driving time most appropriate to carry out their long gossips and bitching sessions. This is the most distracting activity carried out while driving. As a result it’s a known fact, that if your eyes are not on the road then you are a reckless driver. Therefore, women are tagged as “bad drivers”.

3) Updating on FB and Twitter
Facebook and Twitter have expanded their definition in our lives with respect to time and importance .Over-sharing is the most common activity on Facebook, especially by women. It can not only affect your daily routine but also can hamper your availability to your closed ones.

4) Making unnecessary short forms
Nowadays, it seems like our general language is being converted into phonetic spellings and language of quick communicators. It really makes the decoding part for the other person a bit difficult. Texting your regular friends would surely understand your random acronyms, but your family, co-workers or heaven forbid, your boss receives your text in such language, it may surely cause a problem.

5) Using Text message as a savior
You always tend to get late for a meeting with any person. It may be useful for you to make the excuse of delivering a message about being late, but surely it won’t help in case of your boss. So be sure that you take care of the excuses, where you are using them.

INTERNET: NEXT LEVEL OF BATTLE OF SEXES

It’s a known fact that there is a vast difference between both the sexes in various aspects. For centuries, the difference between both the sexes are socially defined and distorted through a lens of sexism. In earlier days, men assumed superiority over women, which they maintained through their dominating measures. As of now, the goal of equality between both the sexes have grown closer and somewhere down the line, the vision of equality between men and women has narrowed the possibilities of women who are proving to be more superior in many aspects.

On the basis of usage of internet, the ratio of usage as well as their purpose is of totally different natures. The major element which lies common among the interests of both the sexes includes MUSIC and SOFTWARE or APPLICATION. Women visit social networking sites majorly as compared to the men. The women act as the mainstream digitally, than their male counterparts and are the main primary drivers of online and group buying.

The women take up around half of the global population, and their behaviors vary drastically which further distinguishes them from men (online users). Entertainment downloading and video viewing seems to be the most favorite activities of women, whereas male counterparts mainly emphasize on technical gadgets, retail sites, sensex, headlines and many other valuable stuff.

On average women spend more time online comparatively. But when the social web is in concern, the rift enlarges even more. Women mostly treat web as mode to stay in touch with people (SOCIALISING) whereas men has much higher activity levels in social categories respectively. Thereafter, men mostly indulge in web related activities whereas women are taking it further, including the parameters which even men don’t get involved in. And that is when a woman seeks to understand the masculine interests of men, and further appreciate and understand more about their own masculinity.
