Surely we have come a long way since the face of Thomas Alva Edison glowed with the incandescence of the world’s first light bulb. Today, electronic gadgets make the world go round. Whether it is education or entertainment, healthcare or industrial process, the role of electronics is as inevitable as it is indispensable. It forms the backbone of life in the modern world, making it easy for us to achieve goals and meet challenges.

New technologies, research and development have not only changed the shape of things, but have even shaped our way of thinking and our lifestyle. All research and development in electronics is based on need and even if you feel the need for a particular feature in a device, it has evolved and has already started circulating in the market.

The range of gadgets is mind-boggling and there seems to be a device for every need. There are sophisticated instruments that measure blood sugar levels, while another stylish toy helps you keep track of the chant you say, saving you the hassle of moving rosary beads. Another alarm will remind you that it’s time to change the baby’s diapers.

From alarm clocks to wake you up to coffee pots that give you trouble settling down, the life of a human today is yesterday’s science fiction come true. There is a paradigm shift in the way of life and the growing dependence on electronics, on the other hand, has also raised our levels of production and efficiency. A tool for every endeavor gives us more space, quality time to spend on other activities, and room to fit more into our workday than our ancestors did.

The world of electronics is no longer ‘virtual’. It is the real world turning so many things that only lived in our imagination until now into something real and inspiring us to continue dreaming. Electronics have spared us the canvas, as the slogan on an electronics manufacturer’s ad puts it, to “make things better and better.”
