Where is Technology heading ?

Maryleborne Campus, University of Westminster

I have finished my final year project and gearing up for my final exams in May. In total, I have to appear for 5 exams to graduate this year. Although I am quite confident to graduate this year, I have to work hard to achieve a first class for my degree.
Life is evolving and so is people. There is an air of uncertainty all around me as I am about to graduate, however what is certain so far is that I am departing for Mumbai on the 16th of June and spending the entire month of July in Dubai with parents. My friends too are either looking for work or continuing with further studies.
Although I am not a technology geek like my little brother Manish, I do keep up to date with the technology around me. Recently Apple Inc. released its first version of the tablet PC known as the iPad. Although a fancy piece of technology, its ability to transform computing is widely criticised by many industry analyst and me. Irrespective of all the talking, the company is falling to meet the demand of the public and has already sold 500,000 units. Also Yesterday, Apple Inc. took another big step to challenge the monopoly of Microsoft and Google by introducing its own ad platform known as the iAd. I personally believe this healthy competition between these three technology giants is great advantage to the public who is witnessing technology being transformed like never before.
The entire nation's attention is diverted to politics with the general elections being held on the May the 6. If the labour party fails to continue its dominance in British politics, it will be a big blow to the the International Community living in the United Kingdom. The current prime minister, Gordon Brown's policies has been bringing foreign talent to this country, however all this is set to change if the conservative party headed by David Cameron comes into power this summer. At the end of the day whowever pledges to become the prime minister, he will find it very hard to firstly bring the country out of recession and maintain the current state of economy which has been thrown into pieces by reckless city bankers and hedge fund managers. I used to think I am least interested in politics, however living here and the British media has generated my interest in government policies and how to affect the common man like me.
The sun us back into my life and I believe it is going to get beautiful as the summer approaches.

People : DON'T JUST SURVIVE
