We live in an age of technology. We cannot imagine a day or two without access to internet. In every walk of life, technology has become indispensable. Right from paying electricity bills to checking the status of our bank accounts, we are dependent on technology. Manifestly, the advancements in technology have rendered the world digital. Our Prime Minister launched ‘Digital India’ campaign in several states. As a consequence, students are doing away with their books and only a few are learning a lot from the websites. Scientists are working in the right direction to make ‘Internet of Things’ a virtual reality. In addition, to all intents and purposes, 5G shall replace the present day 4G.

The year 2015 is considered to the hallmark year for trends in mobile technology too. The gadgets and widgets have become all the more popular. On an average, every student is believed to own a gadget. In light of such circumstances, students are not judiciously utilizing their time. More often than not, you see them on social networking sites such as Facebook, twitter and Instagram. They ‘like’ and ‘comment’ on the pictures and topics of their interests. The smart phones have not enhanced the level of smartness in students. If time and technology were to be judiciously employed and attention to various activities not allowed to spill over, there would be a greater measure of competence and consequent prosperity as a whole, as also a happier and healthier population.

Here is a list of 10 helpful websites for college students:

  • Quora: Quora signifies “Question or Answer.” It is the embodiment of Henry David Thoreau’s famous saying, “A man is wise with the wisdom of his time only and ignorant with its ignorance.” To do away with the concept of ‘ignorance’ and add a dash of ignorance, active users post questions. Other smart people answer the questions based on their past experiences and expertise. A user may follow other users and view the questions and answers posted by those users. In addition, the user can ‘upvote’ his favorite answer that struck a chord with his/her perspective. A user may follow several topics such as the trends in mobile industry, cricket, economics, investment banking, hobbies, sports etc. What all Quora demands from user is a genuine profile. So, here is a piece of advice to all the students out there- create a profile and start exploring the website. Make the most of this website.

  • TED-Ed: This is a novel initiative of “Lessons worth sharing” is the motto of this initiative. My favorite show is the one that portrayed the life of Helen Keller.

There is little purpose in treating friends to tales of our former glory, howsoever true.
