Poor Listeners

We call ourselves to live in the age of information and rightly so since information is the power today. SMS through mobile phones, MMS etc, Breaking news on TV, Live cricket update, Election prediction, coffee table gossips at work, all are source of information to us. But why such crazy urge for this information. Is that all information that we receive are useful, worthy of time and effort we spend acquiring it ? Think about it. We are all constantly looking into the information that will bring glory and attention to us. Unfortunately, most of the news that we receive travel through several mouth pieces turns the information into distorted one. If we are such listeners, then we are the poor listeners.

Ticket Vending Machines

Ticket Vending Machines have been installed at various railway stations so that passengers will be spared to wait in the long queue outside ticket counters. A passenger can procure ticket from this Vending Machine by placing the smart card on the slot provided in the machine and filling the required details on the touch screen. Thus this new system will save each and every passenger 10 to 15 minutes every day of their busy schedule. This is more useful for those who travel at late hours. These late night commuters, after a tire some day would be frustrating them to wait in the long queue for their turn. Vending Machines are thus becoming popular for the GenNext who virtually depend on anything on their plastic cards. Of course, old generation yet to catch up with this new machine operation.
