I always thought that the technology growth or any inventions are helping all humans or at least one group of humans.
I was playing with my 3 year old daughter. As every one know kids at this age ask most of the intelligent questions. She casually asked a question to me
Daddy, am I active like mom or you? (Of course she asked this question in her mother tongue).
I answered her you are active like your mom.
Then she asked, when she was at my age does mom used the laptop mouse on her left hand or right hand? (We were asking our daughter to use mouse with her right hand)
I was starring at my wife searching for answer ……..
Then I started to give a long answer.My daughter just starred at me for some time and went back to her laptop.
I started to just re access the conversation we had.
Since parents are the first teachers and kids always want to know how they are performing compared to parents.
She just wanted to know, does she is growing like her mom or dad?
Her laptop usage is as whom? Which seems to be a valid question?
Professionally I design data warehouse, provide business Intelligence solutions to answer these questions for various businesses. But I could not answer the same question to my daughter in a proper way.
Though we never had nor even heard of computer at our early ages, I could not answer do we had used right hand or left hand for our activities during drawing , writing etc.. in our early ages
No data points to substantiate. If we are lucky our parents or grand parents may remember.
I asked myself “why don’t I have something to analyze my own life?”
Deep thinking on this topic made me to realise that, we as technocrats build lot of intelligent tools to make correct decision for business and to correct if there was any red flags in the business process etc…
But, had we built some thing to do the same for our personal life?
I see a list less benefit for man kind by having such a system
- Our kids can compare their habits with parent’s habits
- Parents can see any psychological changes at an early stage, which will help kids to correct easily
- Young adults can see how he is performing with parents or even comparing with grandparents or even with a person who is performing well in their area of interest
- Etc…
Always we have other side for any such new technology or road blocks in implementing this technology
Your feedbacks are very valuable for this new technology to evolve….
All comments are welcome.
