Today's Digital Revolution


In today’s digital age, mastering technology, especially digital banking, is essential for seamless daily living. However, despite my sincere efforts, my wife finds it challenging to learn and use digital banking tools such as ATM withdrawals, generating account statements, and fund transfers. This reluctance not only concerns me but also highlights a broader issue of technological adaptability and its impact on survival in a rapidly evolving world.

Digital banking offers numerous conveniences, from easy access to account information to the ability to perform transactions from the comfort of home. These tools save time and provide security and transparency in managing finances. Nevertheless, for individuals like my wife, who struggle with these technologies, the advantages become sources of frustration and anxiety. Despite her attempts, the complexity of digital interfaces and the fear of making errors deter her from gaining confidence in these skills.

I have made numerous attempts to guide her through these processes, providing step-by-step instructions and reassurances. Yet, her persistent difficulties suggest that a different approach may be necessary. Perhaps structured training programs designed for beginners, with more intuitive interfaces and personalized support, could bridge this gap. Financial institutions could play a pivotal role by offering workshops or user-friendly tutorials that cater specifically to individuals who are less tech-savvy.

This challenge is not unique to my wife. Many members of our community frequently visit our home seeking help with digital tasks. Whether it’s navigating online banking, setting up digital payments, or troubleshooting technical issues, the need for assistance is apparent. This collective struggle highlights the widespread discomfort and difficulty many face with digital technology.

The reluctance or inability to adapt to digital banking technologies can pose significant challenges in today’s world, where such skills are increasingly indispensable. In emergencies, for instance, the ability to quickly transfer funds or access account details online becomes crucial. Moreover, as financial institutions continue to digitalize their services, those who lag behind may face difficulties in managing their finances effectively and securely.

In conclusion, while my wife’s struggle with digital banking is a personal concern, it also underscores a broader societal need to make technology more accessible and less intimidating. By fostering a supportive learning environment and simplifying digital tools, we can ensure that everyone, regardless of their initial proficiency, can thrive in this digital era. Financial institutions and community initiatives must collaborate to create inclusive solutions, ensuring no one is left behind in this digital transformation.

M T Vasudevan Nair

My entry into the world of Malayalam literature was through the masterful writings of M. T. Vasudevan Nair, whose passing today feels like a deeply personal loss. It was his novel Manju (Mist) that first drew me into this literary universe. The story, much like its title, was enveloped in an atmosphere of melancholy and mystery. It unraveled slowly, like mist clearing in the morning light, revealing truths that were profound yet heartbreakingly simple. The characters, their struggles, and their silences lingered in my mind long after I turned the last page. It was not just a novel; it was an experience. I returned to it over and over, each time discovering something new, as though the book was speaking directly to the depths of my soul. To this day, I cannot count how many times I have read Manju—it became, and remains, a companion to my thoughts. After Manju opened the door, M. T.’s other works beckoned me forward. I was soon engrossed in Nalukettu, a story that painted a vivid portra...

Elephant Migration

** The Escalating Conflict Between Humans and Elephants: An Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change** The increasing incidences of elephants encroaching into human settlements in search of water and food present a vivid manifestation of the broader environmental crisis fuelled by climate change. This essay explores the complexities of this escalating conflict, which not only threatens the survival of the majestic Asian and African elephant species but also poses significant risks to human communities. The fundamental issue at the heart of this conflict is habitat loss, driven largely by climatic fluctuations and exacerbated by human activities such as deforestation and the expansion of agricultural and urban areas. As natural forests dwindle and water sources dry up, elephants, which are known for their large home ranges and dependency on vast quantities of water, are forced to venture into human-dominated areas. This migration is driven by a desperate search for the necessities of su...
