What if each and everyone in India today becomes tech savvy?



I am a wild dreamer, and today while I am enjoying my lunch, I get this thought.

This sounds funny but this has been true before with mobile phones. Some years before mobile phones in India were same as a ornament and social status symbol gadget rather than a daily use gadget. It was then recognized by everyone and there were then different uses of mobile phones and so called "Missed call" concept emerged. (Though the market is so big there, some companies like Apple feared to launch products in India because, the purchasing power of big middle class is too much and within few days product becomes available everywhere and finally looses its market or go to competitior)

But What if all the software services or products start being used by all the 1.2 billion people. I see twitter being used the most.

Daily Uses:

Parents will set google calendar alerts to wake up their kids.
from:       Tue, August 17, 7am  To: Tue, August 17, 8am
Subject:     "@Chotu: get up chotuuuu, I said get upp"
Reminder:   "every 2 mins"
Snooze:     Off

Teachers would tweet kids reminder to do their homework.
"@class5B: A reminder for all kids of 5B to complete there maths home work or else be ready for some nuckle sandwitch"

Dudhwala bhaiyaa and busses will use google lattitude and Maps to let people know where there are. Dudhwalas tweet "@everyone: 80 prathishat dudh hai 20 pratishaat pani, dus minat mein aa rahat hai hum, khatam hamari kahaani"

Door to door sales guyz will be on door at your quick service just by reading your tweet "I need to buy a cheap bla bla bla, planning to go after office, anyone out there to accompany?"

Husbands will be tracked on google lattitude. Wrong turn and Iphone4's skype video conference with wife will be inevitable.

Kaamwali will let all her clients know that she would not be in for her job today "@everyone: Main aaj kaam ko nahi ane wali, fokat mein kal ke liye, aaj ke bartan mat rakhna".

Facebook weather update application will provide farmers with weather update and let them know what Agriculture Minister has been doing by just following him - All farmers will dislike dislike dislike and comment "Minister sahab murdabad".

Marriages will be based totally on previous wall posts and status update reports on facebooks. Panditji will tell "Ladki aur Ladke ke 36 friends milte hai, lekin facebook abhi privacy updated mein hone ke karan vivah ke liye ye uchit samay nahi hai"

You will be following all the bhajiwalas, read everyones rates for the day and go to them.
"@krishnasabji: Allu-Rs 5/k, Baingan-Rs 3/K, Muli-Rs 2/piece"


I dont see these things too far from reality.....I could only think of these but I know everyone reading this post will definitely come up with new and creative things. Dont forget to post those as comments.
