Hello my fellow Bloggers and Readers, This is Ayushi
Mishra pursuing B.TECH 2nd
- year (Computer Science Engineering) in
Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurgaon.
Hello my fellow Bloggers and Readers, This is Ayushi
Mishra pursuing B.TECH 2nd
Well, finally I am posting my first Blog, My First
Step towards being a part of Microsoft Student Associates.
As this blog is all about my views, opinions and
heartfelt, I would wish to keep the language a bit more informal. Speaking
formal and expressing my views will surely disconnect me from everybody who is
reading this and also my text will look like mere tiny alphabets written in "ARIAL BLACK".
Did I simply say "ARIAL BLACK"!? And your mind pictured a Menu bar with pull
down menu which says "fonts". Oh, so your mind is talking
about WORD PROCESSOR on which you work almost daily? "Am I right?
I can feel whosoever will read this line will again say, "WORD PROCESSOR" really?! "Noah!!! That's MS-WORD!"
I can feel whosoever will read this line will again say, "WORD PROCESSOR" really?! "Noah!!! That's MS-WORD!"
So we can now
relate, "How Much Microsoft has impacted our lives".
Before I write about the Impact let me first write
something about what Microsoft really is.
Microsoft
Corporation is an
American multinational corporation headquartered in Redmond, Washington,
that develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer
software, consumer electronics and personal computers and
services. Its best known software products are the Microsoft Windows line
of operating systems, Microsoft Office - Office suite, and Internet
Explorer web browser. Its flagship hardware products are Xbox game
console and the Microsoft Surface series of tablets. It is the world's
largest software maker measured by revenues. It is also one of
the world's most valuable companies. -"Credits - Wikipedia"
We never thought of defining the
"Microsoft". Did we? Ever!?. Well, the answer is surely
"No". We All are happy with the fact that it is company founded by
Bill Gates, who is a millionaire and we use its product.
Isn't this trust an Impact in itself?

huh!?? |
Microsoft clearly had a bigger impact on the world than any
other software or computer company. The company that actually made the world
realize the magic of software, and made computing accessible to almost everyone
on the planet, is Microsoft. Microsoft, being a
software company, built an operating system platform that let thousands of others innovate which made PCs
cheaper and more valuable every year which meant more and more people could get
access to them, in a vicious circle.
In my
everyday life, I’ve clearly experienced the huge impact of Microsoft. It has
really changed the way we work. Here's a trick
question: who has produced the most books in the past 30 years? - A guy called
Charles Simonyi. Really? Well, Mr Simonyi is the genius who created Microsoft Word, which is the word-processing program used by
perhaps 95% of all writers currently extant, and although Simonyi didn't
actually write any books himself, the tool he made has definitely affected the
ways texts are created. Even I have to write many research papers or articles
for my college journal. But I can’t just imagine myself writing my works on a
piece of paper, had Microsoft Word not been there. According to me, this vast
use of such easily accessible and fast softwares built by Microsoft has reduced
the usage of time of their users, leading them to concentrate more time over
their society’s development.
Microsoft’s reverence over the world is for two
most important things:
· ►Microsoft was the first
real software company.
· ►Microsoft did put a PC on
every desk and in every home.
By shifting the value in
computing to software, Microsoft commoditized computing hardware and made
computing accessible to the masses. If this isn't one
of the most significant events in history, nothing is.
Today most people are busy interacting
with the touch screen of an ATM, using the GPS in their car or watching content
from a connected TV. But all thanks to Microsoft, that all these
“easily-available” facilities are available to us.
"Yeah! This type of Reaction is again an
"IMPACT". :-P and is expected cause its Microsoft.
My Role as Microsoft Student Associate…..
o
If only someone can keep holy book of
India, i.e. Bhagvad Gita in front of me,
I could swear on it to say why I actually want to be the Microsoft Student
Associates.
Being a Microsoft Student Associate means a lot to me,
because it’s the company for which I really am grateful to be part of. It’d be
my dream come true. For a technical student who is always excited about gadgets
and their specifications, operating system and who is always surrounded by
ideas of computer innovation. Living in the fast competitive world, I love to
find a shortcut to time-consuming tasks and in this motive of my life;
Microsoft has always come to my rescue.
1) Microsoft stands as the
“One Man Army” with all its weapons enough to rule the people. After becoming
an MSA, I would like to be a part of the team and promote the impact of
Microsoft and its products by organizing events: cultural, technical,
workshops, conference, seminars, presentations, boot camps, etc.
2) My good contact my
fellow friends, classmates, faculty members, and other college staff and also
my way of making people understand with the help of expressive use of language
will help me communicate with all of them and make them aware about all the
latest and innovative technologies developed by Microsoft and their initiative
to build a strong and better social media for the betterment of the society we
live in, be it online or offline.
3) Increasing technologies,
though easily operative, can sometimes also consume people’s time thinking
about their operations and functions. To this, I will serve them by helping in
issues which they are unaware about and making them realize the
easy operation of Microsoft technologies or gadgets and their benefits.
4) Social networking sites
have emerged as a platform to share everything and anything. Microsoft, as I
said before, needs no advertisement kind of thing but I’ll love to fuel the
popularity of Microsoft by sharing on my posts the initiatives, the projects
and the goals of Microsoft. In this way, making people know about all the
various even the minute things about Microsoft. For this, one really needs to
be a Social Media Enthusiast.
5) Education and
learning and the way it is carried out also define one of the characteristics
of the organisation. I’d love to reframe the part of it with the help of
Microsoft.
6) My college provides
scholar students with Aakash tablets (holding it itself instilled me the sense
of proud and honour cause it takes all your hard work, being a
scholar). If I could manage, I would suggest providing Nokia Lumia Phones
provided with Windows platform, as a token of honour to all the deserving
students of my institute.
Now a small confession, all the contents you see on this blog were first
drafted, formatted and spell checked on Microsoft Word. Thus, we can now see the use of Microsoft in our day to day life.
What would the people online from the desktop would do without the Windows which is again a Microsoft product.
Please friends, support me by hitting like, share and commenting your views on this blog and share it if you loved it.
Thanks and Regards,
