Change is the key for betterment of life

Just imagine what would have happened to this world had there been no change in our lives.
The world would have remained in the past; there would have been no development or progress.
Then:
I remember those days when we used to go to school.
There was no means of communication if anything happens in the Maximum City of Mumbai. If there was heavy rains or if there was a problem with the Trains, the housewife was kept guessing about the whereabouts of their husbands or children.
There was no means to communicate; as one did not have a telephone at home, as having a telephone at home was a luxury in those days.
Getting a telephone connection was to wait for 7 long years and only then we could get the line connected after we cajole the linesman once we get the work order from Bombay Telephones.
People did survive those days. Anxiety was a part of our lives as one could do nothing but pray that the near and dear ones do reach home safe.
Now:
Everybody has a mobile telephone, getting a landline is so easy that by the time you blink your eye the service provider would have arrived at your doorstep to provide you the connection.
Connectivity has become so easy that you can call up your home, friends and keep them posted about the happenings and the reason for the delay in reaching home or for an appointment.
What happens now is there are frequent calls made to near and dear ones about your well being that not getting a call has become a problem.
Then:
Take the case of Banks, they used to function in selected times and on Saturday & Sundays there was no means of getting cash for emergency needs.
We had to borrow money from neighbours to cater to emergencies and no doubt the help was given but there was always a sour taste to it.
Now:
Today is the age of ATM, no need to go to a bank; in fact banks do not even know their customers as they seldom visit banks. With Internet facility and ATM’s cash withdrawal has become so easy and convenient, that you need not worry about cash anymore.
The ATM’s are conveniently located so that one need not travel far.
RBI has come out with a new plan whereby Grocery shops would now give money against a credit card with a small charge attached to it, you do not need to buy anything.
Now losing your ATM card is a big problem, as somebody else would take your money.
Then:
Booking of Railway tickets were a nightmare, one had to go and wait in the Queue the previous night and hope that we get our rail tickets.
Now:
The Railways have introduced internet facility to book tickets and one can sit at home and buy tickets on the net and get the tickets delivered at home for a small fee or buy e ticket.
Isn’t life changed a lot?
It is only change, which brings benefits to us. Thanks to innovations brought about by Great engineers, scientists who have devised new methods and the community have accepted.
Galileo had to try hard to convince the world that Earth is rotating around the sun for which he was penalized by the church.
Change is possible only if the community accepts and is ready to adopt such change in their lives.
But why would not the community accept anything, which helps them, as anything, which is helpful to them, would only make their lives easy and good.
Change is a continuous process, what is good now may not be good in future.
New things would come in our lives by change and would obliterate old things, which are not efficient or convenient to us.
