Computers for All!

It’s nice to know that our government is interested in making India a real knowledge based society. The efforts made by them are worth appreciating, as they are conforming that the so-called “Gen X” is computer savvy. Today’s kids are the leaders of tomorrow and they definitely take India into a new world.

Now, here comes the big “BUT”. But! What about the present? The world is changing and changing real fast. Our leaders are not still computer savvy as their counter-parts in other nations. Can we afford this? We really need to digitize our selves. Today or tomorrow we will have to emerge as a paperless government. So why not today? The fact is: we are one of the fastest growing economies in the world. And we have fully stepped on the gas. Now, in order to really boost up we need the booster rockets and that are available in the form of digital world. The smooth information flow is the key in making ourselves as voraciously growing economies.

Of course, we will have a new technology and definitely it is going to come with its own well-defined set of difficulties, ambiguities and problem. But, we just don’t stop using a motorcycle because it has more complicated problem as compared to bi-cycle. The world of paper, which is based on the logic that the answer to clutter is more clutter, needs to be shunned and the e-world where the answer to clutter is a single mouse click, need to be adopted.

In simple terms we need a paperless government, that to “RIGHT NOW”!
