Poor Voice , Rich Text



To everyone writing text is not new ,  we are doing it since our age of 4/5 & few intelligent mind started at age of 3 .
Our ancestors were doing it on walls , rocks , leaf & watever comes their way . We started writing on slates , notepad with pencil , notepad with variety of pen ( ball , gel , small tip , solid tip & etc)  and then came Era of Technology where we all started using notepad with Stylus , keyboard/keypad of lappy/PC , Keypad of Mobile. We continously evolved  bed of text , so we can comfortably laid it (RIP).
Diff phase of life & context keep on changing , like in School life text is more about  homework , tution work , improve handwriting , exams >  College life its about lecture notes , chit chat notes , love letter , political slogans , exams ( Again ;-) )   > Office life its about office project plans , excel sheets , power point presentation , e-mails & GOAL Reviews (exam again) .whatever time left after office life then its about personal notes , e-mail, chat with friends , sms ,facebook ,google, cheques to sign , try to be author of untitled book/script which is Releasing Soon for like entire our life .
I realise that most of us are more comfortable with writing text to ppl in our day to day life comunication more than voice . Smartphones are hardly used for Voice Calls . Recent Survery done by mobile network O2  results are backing up my realisation of Text Power !
 On the other hand Voice just defeated by text like Euro Cup finals ( Italy vs Spain ) . We all knw history was written by Spain 4-0 Win . Is text defeating Voice ?  For me Voice is not just defeated by Text , Voice dissolving into text. Everytime we prefer to write something  rather than using voice , at that moment we are dissolving voice into text . Text is becoming a solvent , capable of dissolving another substance  (Voice ) .


What makes voice to dissolve into text & Text to be powerful over Voice ???
Ans .  
1) Voice restrict you to communicate with hearing challenged ppl .
2) Text is like limitless ,  blind ppl can sense text & write it too ! 
3) Travel expenses of Voice are far higher than Text in real world as well as on Internet . still Pratibha Patil is winner .
4) Less resources are consumed compare to voice like : (Some Technical Shit , dont give a dammn if you dont get into Ans 4 . ) 
     -->  When Analog voice signal converts into Digital signal ,Bandwidth required is 64kbps.
     -->  Text of  Ans.4 requires only 51bytes , convert from hardcopy to softcopy .
     -->  Voice need ideal surroundings , but Text  just need  combo of  -pen&paper or mobile / lappy!
5) Text can be read again & again , untill meaning is clear .Spoken words are more prune to voice accent barrier & more repetitous than text .
6) Manmohan Singh voice is completely dissolved , you can only get text from him ;-). 
7) Few ppl exist in my office .They are inspired by our PM & motivated by Power of Text , thus they are not using Voice , only Text ! 


 This blog (Solventtext.blogspot.com) is entirely dedicated to my voice which is dissolving into powerful text . Poor Voice :-(    Rich powerful Text :-)  


PS: If someone wiling to start NGO for Poor Voice  . Let me knw , i can donate some words to Voice ;-)
