Trend of using gadgets in Pakistan

I remember the time when newspaper, an old radio, a landline telephone set, and a gigantic TV set which were just able to broadcast national television programs, were the only tools of entertainment available in every household of Pakistan. People use to watch national channels for every purpose like news, entertainment etc. The only channels of communication were landline telephones and post. Radio was the only thing which can play music. And we all were quite happy back then too. But as we all know that time never remain the same. It keeps on changing. But if we talk particularly about gadgets, then time has changed in Pakistan in quite a revolutionary way. Almost every latest gadget and technology is now available in Pakistan. In this article I will talk about the changing trends of using technology in Pakistan and most particularly I will talk about gadgets.

The father of all gadgets

Let’s start with the first gadget, which I would say has proved to be a father of all gadgets. It is none other than Mobile phone. After the technology boom in Pakistan, this gadget has gained the immense popularity. Almost 80% people living in Pakistan’s urban cities are using a mobile phone. Mobile phone has been dedicated as a technology of the decade internationally, and it should be in Pakistan as well. Today, it is the toughest job to identify a single adult or even a teen ager who does not possess a mobile phone. The great contributors in Pakistan’s great mobile revolution are Nokia Mobile, Samsung Mobiles, Sony Ericson, and other companies. The latest mobile phone technology is Smartphone technology. And Pakistan is the most potent market when it comes to smart phones. And this can be witnessed by looking the number of unofficial iphone Smartphone sales all around the Pakistan. It is one of the best selling phones in the history of Pakistan.

Television the most commonly used gadget

Then comes the turn of another famous gadget in Pakistan. Television, which once used to be a big sized machine. But it is now in the smartest shape ever. Statistics tells that more than 70% household in Pakistan are having a television set at their household. This gadget has faced so many revolutions, from simple TV to Plasma, from plasma to LCD, and now from LCD to LED. It is getting slimmer with every passing day. People in Pakistan who do not afford a new LCD and TV buy used LCD or a Used TV, but they do have this technology no matter what and how. Another worth mentioning thing here is that trend in changing technology of a television is also increasing quite rapidly. People who once used to have a television are now having a LCD of minimum a plasma TV.

The others

Then comes other gadgets like gaming devices, Cameras and music players. After the launch of gaming device from big players like Sony and Microsoft the trend of buying gaming device has clearly gone up. Youngsters are buying both portable devices along with classic devices. Music players are another best selling gadget in Pakistan. So many companies like Audionic came into the small, and big sized music players industry, but they haven’t got the desired success because of the officially launched IPOD in Pakistan. Another most widely spread trend is of cameras. After the official launch of Sony, Nikon and canon in Pakistan, this trend seems to be increasing day by day because almost everyone nowadays posses a handheld camera.

Do you enjoy watching Television shows?

Since the advent of Television, people have found a new past-time. Gone are the days when they used to sit idle with bored faces, thinking what to do. There are different types of programs being shown on TV, ranging from children programs, news, discussions, dramas, movies and religious programs. Every day we come to know about a new channel, there is so much that a TV bring to our home that there is no point of getting bored anymore!

TV is a mean of entertainment

After doing all her daily household chores, a housewife enjoys watching showbiz news, fashion shows and soaps on her TV. Children can kill their boredom, especially during long summer vacations, by watching their favourite cartoons and other programs like Art Attack, MAD, and FAQ etc. It is not easy for parents to take their children to parks and play lands everyday as they are busy. The law and order situation in the country also discourages many families from letting their children go to parks and play with their neighbours’ children in the street.

TV is a safe mode of recreation for these children, who are tired of doing their homework and learning their lessons. Some of the TV programs are informative; they teach children many things including those that they usually find boring when they read about them in their books. They learn making different crafts and new techniques of art with paper.
Do you have a patient in your house? If yes, than why not bring some comedy movies or tune in to a humorous program so that they can feel better. A patient confined on bed rest often think negative thoughts and feels depressed as they cannot do anything, while being on bed. Watching comedy and humorous programs on relives stress and depression.

People prefer Watching TV than reading a newspaper or magazine

Some conservative people do not like to have TV at their house they prefer to read books, newspapers and magazines, instead of watching TV. I wonder why these people like to read a paper that tells us what happened a day before. TV news are up to date, we get to know about the latest happening on the same day they occur. Is not it nice to watch a live Cricket match or listen to your favourite political leader addressing the public instead of reading briefly about them on newspapers the next day.
This is the reason why the people of the modern era prefer watching TV rather than holding large newspapers in their hands, finding any news that interests them.

How does LCD TV differ from LED TV and Plasma?

Gone are the days when we only hear ‘Television’ or ‘TV’, now there are words like LCD TV, LED TV and also Plasma TV. It is really confusing for many of us. Do you know the difference among these technologies? Let’s us explain all those who often get confused when they go to the market for purchasing Used and New LCD TV Flat Screen for Sell in Pakistan.

A ttraditional used LCD TV sets use compact florescent lamp (CFL) back-lighting while LED TV come with Light Emitting Diode bulbs. LED is thinner, lighter and uses less electricity, whereas, used LCD TV’s fluorescent lamp uses more electricity.

Which TV set is better, LCD or LED?

Do you still have that bulky CRT TV set at your home? If yes, then it is about time that you replace it with LED TV, LED TV, Plasma TV or the latest 3D TV, depending on your affordability. CRT TV are now relics of past as they come with old tech displays and are more harmful to eyes and general health as compared to the high-end technologies of the present age.
LED TV is considered better than the LCD TV sets due to sharper contrasts. The electricity is getting expensive and you cannot power LCD TV with UPS, during the ongoing power outages. Now you must be thinking that LED TV is expensive. Yes, you are right, but you can reduce your expenses by buying a Used TV. LCD TV does not last as longer than an LED TV, so if you want to buy a TV set which will function more than four or three years than go for a LED TV or Plasma TV.
