Airport Internet Tips

0

The use of laptops, tablets, smart phones and other electronic gadgets has risen and the airport authorities are wooing tech-savvy travellers by offering Wi-Fi access throughout their terminals. Of course not all airport internet options are same throughout the world. Sometimes you need to come prepared to the terminal. Does you airport charge for wireless internet or will it let you connect for free? Some travellers might just get in to the airport lounge room for internet access while for some others in-air connection will do the trick.

  1. Free Wi-Fi.Airport Internet Tips

While most airports in the world charge for providing internet services to passengers but there are also a number of airports that offer internet service as courtesy. Las Vegas the largest operating US airport provides free Wi-Fi services along with other US airports including Seattle, Boston, Charlotte, Denver etc. The airports of cities like Hong Kong, Vancouver, Toronto, Vienna, Oslo and Osaka also provide free internet services. Free of charge doesn’t necessarily mean free and easy. Some airports like the one in Amsterdam allow the passengers to use internet for free for a certain of time and then they start charging.

  1. Pay-Per-Use WI-FI.Airport Internet Tips

Most of the airports offer this facility except a few which provide free internet services. In the airports where you must pay, you will often find number of service providers. Most of the services cost between $8 to $10 per day. So it is essential to choose a perfect data plan which will suit your requirements. The people who travel regularly can definitely activate monthly plans in their smart phones for accessing internet in airports all over the world.

  1. Keeping your Devices ChargedAirport Internet Tips

Battery life of electronic devices is a frequent concern for the travellers in the airport. Many airports of the world especially those where many businessmen travel frequently have charging stations where you can restore battery life in your cell phones, laptops and other gadgets. Some airports provide traditional charging stations where there is basically a huge rush. One thing one might do is to carry power banks while travelling. These are of great use and help in restoring back the charge of your devices.

  1. The Airline Club or Lounge.Airport Internet Tips

Complimentary drinks, snacks, comfortable seating, a clean bathroom and internet access. These are the basic things provided by an airport lounge. Elite business travellers and a few everyday travellers pay for the entry to the lounge. Most of the airline lounges provide complimentary Wi-Fi these days. They charge something around $50 per day or around $300 per year. According to me it is really worth to pay for an airline lounge before a long flight journey.

  1. Wi-Fi in the Air.Airport Internet Tips

Several carriers now provide in-flight Wi-Fi just to satisfy the need to stay connected seamlessly from earth to air. Several carriers now provide in-flight Wi-Fi. The most common in-flight service provider is a company called “GoGo” which charges $5 for continuous use of internet for one hour or $16 for continuous use of internet for 24 hours on the same flight. You cannot expect flawless internet connectivity above 30000 feet over the ground surface. Reviews have been good till now but a lot of work must be done in this area to provide nonstop internet services to the passengers.

DIGITAL DICTATORSHIP

0

As the traditional monarchies declined, Dictatorship emerged during 19th and 20th century as one of the world’s major forms of government. In dictatorship, government regulates almost every aspect of public and private behavior of the citizens as well as the use of technologies and may use powers against reactionary forces. “People’s Democratic Dictatorship” is a popular phrase in China which is incorporated in their constitution by the Communist Party of China.

DIGITAL DICTATORSHIP

The Chinese Communist Party was heading irreversibly downwards when the political system in USSR collapsed 25 years ago. In 1998 President Bill Clinton said that he foresaw an inevitable democratic trajectory. He also suggested that China was “on the wrong side of history”. However, the leaders of China believe that they will not have to follow the path of democratic conversion like most of the countries and some officials believe that the only way to do so is Digital Dictatorship. Under leader Xi Jinping, a generation ago, Chinese citizens enjoy unbelievable freedom in all aspects of life including business, trade, travelling etc.

DIGITAL DICTATORSHIP

After few years due to rapid economic growth, a new middle class emerged who desperately wanted to climb the ladder of social class and become wealthy. But they were also suspicious over the corruption of health care system, property rights, educational system etc. As a result government launches a system of social rating to cure people of these suspicions and make a stable society. Through this system the government wants to control every individual’s behavior using digitally stored information. For example crossing the road in the wrong place or exceeding the limit on the number of children in the family, how often people visit their parents etc and bad credits may result in denied bank loans and permission of buying railway tickets. Since then, in 1979, the policy of “one family — one child” was declared. In this situation, most families wanted sons; women often have an abortion after learning that they had expected a girl. In 2000, 100 girls were born in the country 1,169 boys: in the end, China’s biggest demographic problem — a shortage of women. “Short term pain for long term gain” has become the slogan for the dictated transition to a digital economy.

DIGITAL DICTATORSHIP

As this system has resulted in digital dystopia, the officials thought of creating a system by 2020 that will “allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step” but the government was not sure of how far to take it.  It is just as likely that the experiments mark the beginning of something which will be a bigger threat. Since China has deep rooted tradition of coercion and paternalism, so the government feels that it has right to invade people’s lives. Public resentment and protest against the government lead to a decision that the state must control or abandon the available digital tools. Even in the west, Google and Facebook vacuums up the data left behind by the people who could be easily traced using them, but they have stable rules to protect their citizens.

Therefore, to maintain a stable society the focus should be shifted from rulers to those who are being ruled. Citizens should be given more freedom and privacy and vast digital system are not required to rule them. But the Chinese government shows no interest at all in all these experiments, instead they keep on developing digital tools and systems to control the citizens. If this continues any further then it will lead to something more bigly and sinister.

Movie Riview of Machine!

0

What would you expect from a movie which shows a nun wearing lipstick and a college girl entering a scene like she has just come from a fashion shoot? Well, that is the opening of the movie ‘Machine’ and I sensed that this flick is in great trouble. The protagonist Mustafa tried very hard but his acting skills are so limited that all his efforts went in vain. It is hard to imagine now that once upon a time ‘Abbas-Mustan’ were a Bollywood genre. Their stories were cheezy thriller but were serve best by them for the Indian pallette.

Kiara Advani in the movie Machine

This is not just a bad film, it is incoherent, illogical, baseless and flat out nutty. Nothing in the flick makes any sense. The dialogues like “Mai break par pao nahi rakhta kyunki mujhe maut se dar nahi lagta‘ does not work now. The protagonist plays rich race-car driver who tries hard but the non-sensible narrative of the film prevents him from making any positive impact.

Kiara plays a girl for whom all men are vying for. She was noticeable in M.S. Dhoni the untold story but here it seems like she is competing with everyone to win award for bad acting. There is one hammy scene where the Romeo and Juliet play of Shakespeare is involved which adds to the awfullness of the movie. The film ends with a quote of Swami Vivdkanand, Mahatma Gandhi and Steve Jobs worsening it’s ending too. Movies like this are colossal waste of money!
