Some futuristic predictions 30 years ago claimed that 21 century would be the era of technology and gadgets. So in everyday use robots , people would commute using propelled space-suits and talk to each other using special walkie - talkie , like mobiles nowadays . Of course that was only forecast how future would be look like. In reallity not so much has changed , but defenitely one thing occured true ; 21 century is the era of gadgets .
For more and more people gadgets are the measure of high technological advance . Interesting artical has been published in " The Times " about an impact of modernisation on rural society in India . 54% of population in rural areas use mobile phones , comparing to 4% ten years ago. But access to sanitary amenities has increased in the same population during last decade by only 10% . In fact , it's easier to deliver a mobile phone than to build a proper sanitary network , like sewage system and running water.
Possibly the same situation is in many places on the glob. So far , for the couple of last centuries , the improvement in the sanitary system enabled us to develope higher level , better living .
Now there is another priority ; to have all these electronic gadgets which makes life easier and more important than having loo .
