Hi Friends,

We are in the era of Artificial Intelligence taking over the manual work and also easing the amount of efforts required. The boon of technology is always there for the betterment of life whether it is in medical field or militaries or even in normal day to day things we use as automobiles.
Technology is everything and we can't even imagine life without all those smart gadgets we use daily and can't live without those even for an hour, such is the life we are going thru and such is the extent we are relying on technology.
The role of technology increases even more during crisis/pandemics and I am gonna share some information about my experience of technology usage during Covid Pandemic which haunted the World almost for 3 years.
It was war like situation during Covid as we all can re-collect and people were dying like they are being attacked in a war and it was unimaginable to think of Covid that we went thru all the horrible situation and we should be thankful to god technologies which were of great help in mitigating the pandemic and advancements in medical field with regards to technology usage are advancing beyond imagination.

I would like to mention here an example of use of technology during Covid in the southern state of Kerala in India.
The extent of Covid in the early days of it in 202 was such that, Kerala reported as many as half million Covid cases by November 2020 which constituted 6% of total cases reported by whole of India. But, the rate of deaths due to Covid was way less in Kerala with about 0.4% while India had about 1.5% with other countries like China having 5.2% and US with 2.4%.
How was that possible?
That was possible because, the Kerala state had multisectoral response to the pandemic with widespread testing labs, quarantine centers and distribution of food and essential supplies made Kerala handle the situation in an efficient way and contain the spread of virus.
That was not all, Kerala had the per million test rate as high as as 145151 tests per million population which was way higher than India's test rate of 88311 and as soon as First case was reported in Kerala, the state declared a health emergency and took control of the situation while others were still trying to find on what and how to tackle the situation which made Kerala to siege the situation before other states.
While this was all lead to containing the cases in 2020, Kerala experienced even more worse situation during later days, but the experience of the situation handling in November 2020 helped the Kerala state tackle the situation more efficiently.

Continuing on Kerala's success in tackling the Pandemic, I would like to share few more details.
Kerala is the First Indian state with 100% literacy rate and Kerala is known as God's own country because of the beautiful nature it has and Kerala is also known for it's people's presence in Middle East countries with a proverb that you will find atleast One Kerala person from each house in some middle east country.
Keralites are one of the soft spoken, but hardworking guys and adjust to the situations fast. Kerala jewelers are the most across India and the Kerala ladies are known for wearing more ornaments during marriage and all among all the people, so, obviously the state is rich and digitally advanced to handle all the situations.
With all these digitalization and technical superiority, Kerala has always been a role model to other states and will always face such situations with confidence and people will also come up and joins the efforts of their Government and that is why, the major National parties in India haven't been able to penetrate in the Godly state of Kerala and National parties are still like minority parties in Kerala.
I would like to end telling that, the advancements in technologies will always aid in the betterment of society and mankind and when we are almost ready to travel without a driver in unmanned cars, we will definitely see even more developments and have a better life in the coming days and our kids will have even more better life.
