Thanks to Social Networking websites we have no face to face interaction.


Interaction is a part of our daily life, either face to face or by some networking websites. Facebook, orkut, Myspace are some of the names in social networking area that needs no introduction. Most of these sites are attractive in design, easy to use, and are aimed at connecting people around the globe grabbing more and more users like us. Their huge success speaks for their addiction as more and more people are joining everyday. Even it surprised google also as Facebook is the most visited site over the internet. These sites have become addiction due to some of their features like chat, games etc. which demands more and more time of the user and hence user becomes an introvert though he may seem to be an extrovert with 100’s of friends in the list including those with whom he never had any face to face interaction.

These networking websites have some benefits and some losses too. Benefits for those who are in a long distance relationship, for those who serve their community people instead of meeting personally.  And losses like the person on the other side can easily fabricate the information he/she is supplying, so we can never judge the person is pretending to be real or fake. Though these network giants help people to get instant access to friends and relatives and make their web presence but it is also deteriorating their social life.

As popular quote says “Excess of everything is bad”. Yes social networking websites are a boon to the society if they are used within limits else they may make a person socially insocial.

Nokia N8 Review



A nice big phone with good specifications. Few things which i like about this phone is its camera, 12 megapixel (no need co carry a digicam) although it cant provide quality like that but is still good but on top of 12 MP you have Carl Zeiss optic’s on the Nokia N8.
Great apps, infact large no of apps.
Nokia N8 review
First phone to offer HDMI port, so you can show off your friends your videos,pictures etc. The screen on the N8 is a massive 3.5 inches with a 16:9 resolution (640 x 360) or more commonly known as HD. 16.7 million colours are used along with the ambient light detector / proximity sensor to ensure you screen always looks at is best and saves power where possible.
Videos can be shot in HD (720p res) at 25 frames per second. There are settings to configure the scene, video light, colour tone and white balance. There is a photo editor as standard on the N8 and you can make use of the in-built GPS receiver by using geo-tagging, very useful if your lucky enough to be on a road trip.
I have to say initially the Nokia N8 looks very impressive. The spec list is truly massive and for me the big plus points have to be the 12 MP camera (xenon flash and Carl Zeiss optic’s), free sat nav and HDMI support. However the touch screen, navigation of the phone has to be up with and as responsive as HTC else it will fall flat on its face.
