India has more smartphones then toothbrush
Developmental research aims to understand how children and adolescents live in a complex virtual universe, even as they carry on their lives in the physical world. In emphasising the potential benefits of the affordances of cyberspace, it is important to recognise the potential dangers of technological determinism. Just because Internet-based technologies can lead to improvements in learning does not mean that simply providing access to these technologies will confer educational benefits.
The number of smartphone users worldwide is to exceed 2.3 billion users. 650 million people have mobile phone in India and over 300 million of them have smartphone according to go technology consultancy counterpoint research. Out of 6 billion people only 4.8 billion have smartphones whereas 4.2 billion own a toothbrush.
Most young and tech savvy Indian travellers now consider smartphones to be their most Indispensable item while they plan to travel ahead of toothbrush, deodorants and driving license.
Travellers use mobile phones at every stage from researching , to booking trips and to sharing travel experience. Just because a traveller can use their device to read work email and stay connected to the office, they also believe it improves the quality of their vacation. Digital technologies change how we connect and create value with our customers. With social media, mobile devices, and sensors on every object in a company’s supply chain, every business now has access to a river of unstructured data that is generated without planning and that can increasingly be utilised with new analytical tools. There exists a wide variety of types of cyber behaviour, such as e-learning, e-voting, e-shopping, e-pornography, and e-therapy. many researchers would agree that cyber behaviour is a new and unique human phenomenon that is ubiquitous, complex, dynamic, and important. With the still rapid development of Internet technologies and the even much wider use of the Internet in society, many new types of cyber behaviour will emerge in the decades to come. Education – a basic right according to Article 22 of the 1951 U.N. Refugee Convention – is a process of developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and of general intellectual and emotional preparation for the future. Even for well-educated adults, extensive migration that lasts many months can be a bewildering experience that’s difficult to make sense of. For young people, this process can be even more challenging.

Government expenditure on Statue of unity: justified or wasteful?
182 metre tall Statue of Unity in Gujarat has been added to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s list in8 wonders of the SCO. It’s a monumental tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was India’s first home minister as well as deputy prime minister.
Statue of uni ty can bring economy to Indian nation. The tourists that come visit statue of unity will bring great revenue to India.
Whole Dubai has statues and excellent infrastructure. It attracts more tourists and boosts the economy of the nation. But once it was an arid land. It was assumed that Dubai which was rich in oil supply would exhaust its reservoir one day. Shiek Maktoum Bin Butti established the city formally belonging to Abu Dhabi. He introduced tax exemption for foreign traders which made Dubai interesting for most of the traders all over the world especially Persia and India. 1/3rd doesn’t have access to drinking water. The government took 1.76 lakh crore from RBI last year and few days back Modiji demanded 45000 crore from the RBI. The statue costed 3000 crore. The government is not about to pay off states’ share of IGST per month. Last year it earned a revenue of 80 crore and its annual maintenance cost is 40 crore. This way it will take 75 years for the government to justify the cost. If the same amount was kept in bank at an interest of 6-7% it would have earned a profit of 200 crore, nearly triple of what it earns now.
