Thanks #HindWhale community for organizing this beautiful contest which is very much needed for the youngsters. I share it with my views.

Flashback of high speed Internet in India

Once upon a time (😂 just before 2016) in India there were only 2G internet available and that too costly. I can remember that we used 200mb data for a month. But now 200mb can be used within a minute. Even 2gb per day is not enough for our Smartphone use and going for high speed fiber broadband connection. That’s how the speed of Internet and Consumption of Data increased in India after the 4G revolution from JIO.

History of Reels and Short video

The pioneer of Reels and Shorts format video is from Tiktok (previously known as musically). The growth of short format video is tremendous on Tiktok from 2017. Many people get addicted to watching tiktok videos on their Smartphone. The algorithm in the app suggests vides which the user likes more. The app paves the way for many social media celebrities. Also the app creates more controversy and steals the valuable hours of youngsters and make them in wrong way. So the Government of India banned tiktok for security and privacy reason. After the ban we may forgot about Tiktok but the world is consuming Tiktok. It is the most downloaded apps in play store last year. Check the details from my post.

Watching Reels good or bad

Watching reels or shorts video is purely for entertainment. 99.99% we didn’t learn anything from that. Watching reels or short format video consumes our precious time without known by us. Just we scroll one by one but we didn’t see the time it consumes lot of our precious time. We didn’t notice the time because the entire app having advanced AI algorithm which pushes the most liked content on the top based on our search. Because of this we didn’t notice the time. We only notice when our phone battery down or our data over😅.

Watching reels for entertainment or relaxation is ok. But being an addictive person to the reels only consumes our valuable time and nothing learned or earned from reels. Just set an time for our relaxation and watch it. Use your time for learning and increase your productivity.

Conclusion

We cannot say don’t watch reels or short video. Watch it for your relaxation and use your remaining time usefully. This generation is Short video generation where we can see thousands of short format video apps which are the most downloaded apps on play store and appstore. So we cannot go without seeing them. Keep everything under your control and don’t be in their (AI) control.

I would like to invite @saravanann, @anithamoorthy and @a-h-p to participate in the contest and share their views.

Thank you
