#Slaves of the social media# TECHNOLOGY GLITCHES & TENSE MOMENTS BY Vasan. Suri

4th October, 9.20pm the whatsapp is not working. Am trying to send a message and it is not going. Wondering.

Switching off and restarting my iphone. No result. Trying my Android mobile. Not working.

Facebook not working. Instagram not working. Now, I am worried. Calling my close friends. They confirm that it is all not working.

Is this any National Emergency situation? Any International problem? My thought process takes its wings and goes crazy.

10.10pm a message comes in that, there was a DNS Server failure and this happened earlier also.

Just imagine how have we become slaves of these internet and social media and all our contacts and data are all connected here. What if it goes off, for one full day. Unimaginable.

We have started spending on an average 3-4 hours on Internet in a day and any failure, can make us mad.

Strange situation. Thank God! Linkedin is a separate Group and not owned by Whatsapp/FB/Instagram.

10.40pm still not working. How to communicate? We all have forgotten our SMS. Whatsapp was so user friendly. From Good Morning to every aspect of life gets shared.

Likes, dislikes, comments, , 80 minutes hard to pass.

Oh! Technical God. Be kind to us. Solve the server problem.
