In old times, the basic needs of a person were food, clothing and shelter. However, in today’s era, the basic needs are food, clothing, shelter
and, additionally, electronic gadgets. Electronic gadgets include smart TVs, mobiles, laptops, iPads, etc. Electronic devices have become an integral part of our life, and we cannot imagine our life without these electronic devices. Technology has advanced with years, and it has changed the way we live. Various changes have been brought about by these continuous technological advancements. Almost everything we use has been innovated to better standards. Fig. 1 represents how technology has changed over time. From desktop to laptop, antenna TV to smart TV and landline phones to smart mobiles are the perfect examples of technological developments.
