Frequently Asked Question
Human being always desires to live unbound. But our reality is totally different as we are living in a small developing country with ever growing population and amidst huge resource limitation. Our country - our "Real world" is increasingly running out of space, scope of making required infrastructures, being choked up with crowd and traffic. We are getting localized simply because of congestion in everywhere resulting in shorter effective life. Most of our fertile time of our only life is being wasted either in the long tailback of vehicles or being queued up or in some unproductive ways. In this way everybody is deprived of enjoying or utilizing his life on his own. If we were able to expand our real world we could have contained all the limitations substantially. But we are undone! Consequently our country is losing its huge potentiality and incurring environmental disaster everyday. Against the backdrop we can create a "Virtual world" that will exist hand in hand with the "Real world". We can continue virtual working ,wherever or whenever we require, with a smart device connected to 3G networks either in stationary or on the go environment. We can meet up some of our requirements by accomplishing official or professional works and get enough recreations in the process thanks to 3G. In this way we can make our life easier to some extent and have a manageable life. Apart from that an opportunity would be crafted to cash in hitherto untapped global IT market which will help us keep pace with the ever changing world. 2. What is 3G ?
