Independence. It isn’t just one kind of freedom struggle we’re talking about.Â
We’re talking about the freedom of expression, not just freedom from oppression. And in the 21st century, our freedom is our right to express our opinions, our right to information and our right to spread awareness. And all of that has increased 10 fold with the entry of smartphones. With the penetration of smartphones, we’ve gotten a platform to express ourselves by always staying connected!
Whether it’s Sushma Swaraj replying to tweets of citizens in distress or starting women empowerment campaigns with a simple #hashtag, it can all be done with a simple tap on your phone. And who better than Moto, who has been a pioneer in mobile technology, to talk about the same in this ubercool video.
The awesome video gives us a peek into the day-to-day life of a 21st century Indian youngster. The way she uses her smartphone to express herself is shown beautifully through a series of events, right from waking up to selfies to getting instant news updates, from navigating home in bad weather to tweeting about social campaigns, from reviewing a restaurant to helping a stray dog find a new home, she’s the epitome of what India is right now: free. It shows just how much the smartphone has contributed to our freedom and slowly it’s becoming our voice.
Here’s to our young country, getting younger by the day.
But it is the freedom to express that is the real reason for celebration today.
