Innovation to communication

Hi guys.. Its long time I have written a such a big post, but today I could do 2 posts one in this and another in my technical blog.. so here it is for today.. .

Sometimes I used to imagine how things going to be in the future. As I spent almost half a decade in communication industry, here is what I could imagine of the communication industry future.

Every evaluation comes to solve a constraints in the lives of this universe, nature takes even millions of years to grand a new feature to the living creature, which you can understand when you see discovery channel's "Journy of life".

"If you take away our need for clothing and ability to speak, our animal roots become clear. An alien biologist wouldn't hesitate to label humans as a third class of chimpanzees. Yet, in so many aspects of our lives, we are very different from other creatures. So how has the human race been forged by evolution – just like all the other animals – and yet managed to break free from its constraints? "

So, the world is to evolve to solve the constrains every time a life had. If you think in the same lines, we observe that the human is the most advanced form of life, whos given a creative mind to resolve any constrain he has to have. Having cars to move fast, plane to fly and so on as this list never ends.. as we reached even out of our planet.

Having understood this lets come to communication industry, this industry started with the constrain, when human was not able to communicate with the others when he travelled far from home. To close this constrain, we have invented letters, phone, mobiles. Now this ended it is in the form of mobile, which can be used to not only talk but also see and do more tasks.

Now if you see the constraint in having mobile is, you need to carry them always, its hard to keep that always near to ears. You can see peopele rome with big earpiese in their ears all the time. Another one is watching tv/movie/other side person is not easy with the small display thats provided with the mobile phones. So lets imagine what would be comming to overcome this

"A less than one inch chip attached to the human body, which uses human body energy"

"It can communicate with the human senses by bypassing sensing organs like eyes, nose, ears and may be skin."

"It can communicate with the other human being who can be anywhere in this universe, still the communication with them is with all the senses, but via radio frequency/any other simple transmission mechanism."


Oops.. its like "The Matrix", and am not "The one" :)

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

So again, it was from my reading, I was going through the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey It was having wonderful insight into personal improvements. Here are the habits discussed in that book

Habit 1: Be Proactive

Change starts from within, and highly effective people make the decision to improve their lives through the things that they can influence rather than by simply reacting to external forces.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

Develop a principle-centered personal mission statement. Extend the mission statement into long-term goals based on personal principles.



Habit 3: Put First Things First

Spend time doing what fits into your personal mission, observing the proper balance between production and building production capacity. Identify the key roles that you take on in life, and make time for each of them.

Habit 4: Think Win/Win

Seek agreements and relationships that are mutually beneficial. In cases where a "win/win" deal cannot be achieved, accept the fact that agreeing to make "no deal" may be the best alternative. In developing an organizational culture, be sure to reward win/win behavior among employees and avoid inadvertantly rewarding win/lose behavior.



Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood

First seek to understand the other person, and only then try to be understood. Stephen Covey presents this habit as the most important principle of interpersonal relations. Effective listening is not simply echoing what the other person has said through the lens of one's own experience. Rather, it is putting oneself in the perspective of the other person, listening empathically for both feeling and meaning.



Habit 6: Synergize

Through trustful communication, find ways to leverage individual differences to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Through mutual trust and understanding, one often can solve conflicts and find a better solution than would have been obtained through either person's own solution.



Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Take time out from production to build production capacity through personal renewal of the physical, mental, social/emotional, and spiritual dimensions. Maintain a balance among these dimensions.
