Back in the day in 80s, when I was studying for my first ever attempt at writing Board examinations, the concept of tuition classes was all the rage amongst my batch mates. The idea of getting out of home, spending more time with our friends in the guise of studying was exciting to say the least. I particularly remember our Maths tutor, who although was extremely polite to us, but would never leave a chance to reprimand us when we did not finish our homework.

Just a few days ago in a conversation with one of my colleagues, I got to know that his daughter is so fond of using the academic-learning applications on her smartphone that she does not feel the need to attend tuition classes anymore. The moment lent me amusement.

I did not ponder over the increasing usage of smartphones by children; it’s commonplace to come across the fact. What amused me more was the amount of knowledge about technology our children possess which makes them highly competent in today’s world.

Millennials and the children of today grew up with the rise of the internet, the birth of instant communication, and transitioned from Television to majorly consuming content on the Internet. With the technological environment having surpassed its nascent stage, children of today have dived head on into a world that makes them smarter, more competitive than their elders.

Some of them prefer audio books or kindles to the hard bound or paperback editions; most of them consult knowledge-sharing apps on smartphones instead of tuition teachers, and gather the curriculum knowledge via projector screens in the classroom.

They don’t have to wait in anticipation, wondering if the letter they were writing to their best friend or grandma would reach them on time or not. A simple instant message does the job today. From coding apps to developing them and creating a kids-friendly social platform (Play Against Cancer, iRead Monthly, Grom Social among others), the knowledge-gatherers of today are turning the world upside down with their technological innovations.

Though without a doubt it is the responsibility of parents to keep a check on how their children make use of the technological resources, it would be safe to say that technology has groomed the way children view the world. It allows them to experiment, innovate and do so much more than we could have imaged. Perhaps, smart would be an understatement. What do you think?

There is nothing more disappointing than seeing your phone’s battery percentage drop below 20 per cent. And doesn’t that happen all the time? More than anything else, we are constantly seeking ‘charge’ these days.

We are coming up with gadgets that use the latest charging technologies and help you power up your devices quickly and ensure they last for longer durations. Here is a quick rundown of some basic facts that might interest you.

What is PD charging?

Power Delivery charging or USB Power Delivery is a charging technology. It uses USB-C cables and connectors that deliver higher levels of power to our devices.

What are the benefits I am getting?

Faster charging of your electronic essentials and more power for bigger devices.

What do you mean by C Type charging?

USB-C is the emerging standard for charging and transferring data. Currently, it has been adopted in devices like the latest laptops, phones, and tablets but with time, it will become a more common technology.

When was the USB Type C charging technology developed?

The USB Type-C Specification 1.0 was published by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) and was finalised in August 2014. With time, it has been accepted as a replacement for not only the older USB standards, but also other standards like Thunderbolt and DisplayPort.

How is it helping me?

It involves an advanced technology, which gives an improved performance. It is easier to use as both sides of the connector fit in to the port. It is universal – most tech companies are adopting this technology and since it comprises of a smaller connector, it can possibly make laptops and tabs thinner.

What is the future of charging?

The need and urgency to charge our phones will only increase with time. Smartphones are getting smarter with every upgrade, but they will always need the power to keep functioning.

Many of you must have heard about wireless charging or even plant chargers that harness the power from the process of photosynthesis in order to transfer power to your gadgets. The near future may also see electric charge derived from the human skin.

Technology is only going to improve with time and get more exciting. Keep an eye on our website https://honeywellconnection.com/ for the launch of some of our most innovative products. They will not only give you a better experience but also help you keep connected wherever you are.

As he clung on to the car, he suddenly asked, “Didi, iss ka colour kya hai?”

“Yeh green colour ki hai, Dheeraj. Aapko pata hai, aapke T-shirt ke colour ke saath match kar raha hai!”

“Achha jee?” he said as his face gleamed with joy.

This was a Diwali that was brighter than the fairy lights adorning the walls, heartier than Dadaji’s laughter and sweeter than the motichoor laddoos enjoyed by the family.

We believe in the true power of connection and we realised there are many working individuals who are forced to spend some of the most special occasions alone. They move out for education or work and are not always able to go back home to spend time with their loved ones during the most important festivals. They end up missing all the fun, laughter and warmth of their family, friends and relatives.

On the other side, there are those who cannot enjoy the beauty and grandeur of a festival like this. They are unable to soak in the colours of the decorations, read the greetings or be a part of all the festivity.

This Diwali, by deciding to do something beyond the usual, we not only lit up lights, we also lit up some faces with wide smiles. We brought the two sets of people together over music, food, fun and laughter.

We took a few of our friends to the Institution for the Blind (Andh Vidalaya) in Amar Colony, Delhi which is a home for 150-200 kids right from 6 years to 16 year olds. Along with regular classes, the kids are a part of a range of activities conducted in the school.

Here’s the video that will give you a glimpse of our #SapnoKiDiwali. We hope you make this Diwali special by lighting up a face with a smile.

Wishing each one of you a very happy, bright and safe Diwali!

Can you imagine 24 hours without your smart gadget? Yes, without your phone for an entire day. Sounds ridiculous before even trying right?

So what would it really be like without that smart device of yours?

1. You would always have to roll down your windows and shout at a random pedestrian asking him the way, only to receive the most puzzled look ever
2. Every time you wanted to click a picture, you would have had to carry your digital camera
3. Your boss would not be able to tell you “Just text it to me! I will have a look at it as I sit in the cab.” E-Mail is all you have!
4. Remember the big, heavy torch? You’d have to switch that on every time you needed the ‘flashlight’!
5. No, you wouldn’t have Google Maps to tell you, “You’re on the fastest route, despite usual traffic’!
6. You like a picture on the internet and you want to share it, but no whatsapp web on the tab? Use the mail or the chat messenger.
7. Too used to WhatsApp video calls and FaceTime sessions on the phone? Well, your laptop is the only saving grace!
8. Want to play games while you are on the go? But all you’ve got is a book or a magazine.
9. Too used to Uber and Ola? Have we forgotten what it was like to haggle with auto drivers and book cabs through the Taxi service?
10. You’d be heading to the good old PCO behind your lane! Why, because your landlines aren’t working!
