CHUCKLE THINKING

    thoughts Deadly March of Cinema and TV is pushing our youth to the brink of disaster I wish to take all of you back to the time of World War 2. The Allied Forces gave great importance to intensive technology in order to defeat the Nazis. A lot of money was spent on innovating telecommunications networks. This led to the invention of computers in the late 1950s. Slowly, computer machines were being used in information technology, which brought the world together into one unit, especially after the invention of Television in the 1920s (not 1970s). There was a revolution in telecommunication technology during the 1980s, and Indian engineers in America played a key role.

After some years due to innovation, new products will come into ...
