Bits of the Smart in your Phone

Image
Read somewhere, ''Women are crazy, Men are stupid.''  Now that the phones are smart, we can be more stupid, crazy and fun with the smartphones. Today’s smartphones are literally magical machines. They can work as gaming consoles, business tools, and musical instruments; all at the same time. Doesn’t that little thing feel great in hand! Do you know your smartphone as well as you think you do? Let’s take the smart ride and know some bits of technology just like #Technocrats. ANDROID We all have heard of it. It’s the most popular smartphone operating system. It has been developed by Google.

Many of us are good at something or the other. Some of us are better than many of us. But Only some are truly made of great. This post is a tribute to those great inspirational individuals. I also encountered a few people who have truly been great and inspirational. These are the ones...
