One funny/ nostalgic anecdote relating to tech (or the lack of it)
Once at the Hong Kong Airport, I saw a bunch of people with guns in their hands, aimed at random people. The overall scenario had me scared until I realized that it was a gun for testing the fever from a 2 meter distance. I found this really amusing and just felt like saying “What a use of technology!”
What’s the biggest tech disaster according to you?
The biggest tech disaster according to me is the 9/11 incident that took place in World Trade Center, New York which caused massive destruction and many lives were lost.
One instance where technology solved your problem -
Use of Wi-Fi-pocket routers help me to solve my technology issues, allowing me to connect to my laptops, smartphones and tablets on the go whenever and wherever I travel. Also using Power Banks for charging electronic devices while travelling help solve a lot of problems.
