10. xG.

Telecommunications have evolved over generations and every major revolution gets labeled as a new (or next) generation. Today, the world talks about 3G and 4G (where G stands for Generation). What happens with the ex-generations and the related features? Are they simply dumped or fairly used?

Post-independence (1947), this is 3rd human generation (3G) and 4G is in the making; considering 40s as 1G, 60s as 2G, 80s as 3G and the millennium ones as 4G. I see an immense generation gap between me (3G) and 4G; although the 4G has not yet completely developed.

As a so-called matured 3G piece, I feel I am pretty much ahead of the 2G features in all aspects; brains, emotions (rather emotion-control), attitude, approach, etc. I call these as multimedia applications. This makes me feel away from the basic features which are common over all the generations; I mean the basic voice and text features as in face2face conversations and writing letters for expressing the feelings.

With a heavy concentration on multimedia applications; I have nearly forgotten the basic application which any human is meant for. Although I witness the gap between 2G and 3G, I somehow intend to overlook it by taking things for granted.

What is the consequence? Do I care? When is the right time to realize? What if I realize when the time has already passed? Am I ready to bridge the gap or am I happy with the invisible but evident wall?

I believe, bridging the gap will result in maximum utilization of all the generations and it will also make me ready to accept the 4G with respect to technology and features. The best communication device on this planet shouldn’t go under-utilized, right?

Your attempt to bridge the gap between the two G's is truly commendable. The example used is one which anyone can relate to. No matter how many generations come and go we are direly in need of revolutionary thinkers in every generation.
