- Do you have any hobbies/interests? What are they?
Yes, I like reading books and playing online games at times in my leisure time.
I usually visit my friends or just stay at home and do some light reading and complete my pending chores.
I think it is purely because they like their own company and don’t need to have people around them to have a good time.
Yes, I like strolling in parks quite often.
I like that parks cater to almost every demographic. Children can enjoy the swing sets, adults can walk around or jog or sit in the sun with their friends and talk.
Oh absolutely. Delhi has many parks, and many famous ones too. Especially Deer Park and even Sunder Nursery which is also treated like a park in all honesty.
Parks are quite essential for most individuals, especially the older population because their morning or midday routines involve sitting leisurely in parks.
Yes, I like walking to most places whenever I can.
I prefer walking alone since company usually interferes with my walking pace.
I don’t get time to go on walks as often as I’d like but probably twice a week.
Yes, I love technology. I think it makes life efficient and I get to do more things than I would have been able to without it.
I have the most obvious response to this, my smartphone. It is like an extension of my body because I need it for basic chores to even complex tasks related to my work, and it is important for my regular communication with the world as well.
I’d like to buy the Meta glasses that are available in the market these days. It is quite a luxury since it is pretty costly but it is also one of those exorbitant purchases that I’d like to make since it will make life simpler in many ways.
I use my phone for browsing since I always have it handy and it’s convenient to use a phone over a laptop or computer.
I like old buildings since I have a keen interest in architecture and history.
In my hometown religious buildings like mosques and temples are the most common. You’d find one at every corner of the district.
The intricate designs that go into the architecture make buildings fascinating to me. I am not fond of the modern glass buildings even though the finesse in them is quite intriguing too.
Old buildings definitely do have a personality because of the cultural and historical significance they hold and the wear and tear on their surface also adds to that personality.
Extremely. I think the reason for the decline of cultural knowledge today is the reduced exposure to libraries and museums of children and young adults. These places make cultural comprehension easier than doing it by reading texts.
Describe a piece of software or application that you often use.
Modal Answer
You Should Say:
What software or application it is
What you use it for
For how long you have been using it
And explain why it is important to you.
The application that I use most often is definitely Instagram. I use it majorly to stay in touch with my friends and to scroll through content.
I think I had joined the app back in 2013 and it was purely because back then social networking sites were not as varied as they are now.
Facebook was the major player in the market at that time. With Instagram, posting pictures and becoming a trendsetter became a new and exciting aim at that time. Now it has transcended those goals and become something else. I tend to spend many hours a day on the app.
It has become a crucial part of my life now because I communicate with my social circle through the app, mostly by sharing relatable content with them.
This helps me stay in touch with them without relying on mundane happenings to discuss with them. Plus, it also has a plethora of content on many topics which helps me evolve my opinions and also stay entertained. It does impact my attention span and I am trying to reduce my usage of the app but it will take a long time for me to reach there because it is definitely an essential app for my daily life right now.
Technology undoubtedly makes life easier. It provides convenience in many daily tasks and makes routines more efficient as well.
Technology has made it easier for certain types of people to communicate with each other. For instance, introverts or anti-social people. Through technology, such people can manage to form bonds with people without feeling burdened by the stress of being presentable or responding instantly. Apart from that, technology has also made communication faster and easier with urgent matters getting easily communicated through calls or texts.
Undeniably. As I mentioned, the convenience that technology provides makes life quite efficient. This makes most people shut their mind off and not think of how to manage things by themselves. Instead they let their tech decide what’s best and follow that. It saves time but also impacts cognitive development.
Some of them do. Though I have seen many elderly people use even the latest technology without any issues. They are slow to it and have a longer learning process but I don’t think it’s a major issue anymore.
Social media applications are the most commonly accessed apps these days because socializing is majorly virtual in today’s world. So, Instagram, Facebook, or even WhatsApp in countries like India are the most commonly and frequently used apps today.
Some people start regulating their reliance on technology because it tends to depreciate cognitive ability. Once people start realizing that their minds are not working independently or that they have physically become lazier, they start shifting to manual efforts.
