“Microsoft” – Attention please…

Since the world has become globalized, almost all professionals use Microsoft outlook for their internal email communications. Microsoft outlook is one of the greatest inventory in the kitty of software giant Microsoft. But Outlook has a great flaw in it . And the sad thing is its not debugged and I doubt if the MS people know realize this blunder??? Ok let me first tell you what’s the bug is and try this in your MS outlook.

1. When you get a new mail in your inbox. Open the mail.
2. Edit some phrase and add your own text there.
3. Save the mail now somewhere in your machine.
4. Open the mail again and see the message. You can see the edited one instead of the original message.

This leads to the chances of misusing the mails and anybody can easily change your words. And they can prove the fake one as an original message either until or unless you have not deleted your sent items. Think how critical a issue this is. Have not the Microsoft people noticed this yet or they don’t have any solution? They have not answered yet. Rather than waiting for them to do some thing about this, Its high time that we do something to be on the safer side.

Pals, please save your important sent items personally to save your dignity and avoid those kind of situations.

Need a Change

Is our education system really imparting values in our people? This still remains an unanswered question for quite a long time now and remains unanswered. We spend almost 20% of our lifetime in studies and some who aspire more may spend even more than that. Our schools mainly focus on rankings and coach students to secure high marks but they care very little about the pupils’ conceptual understanding. Do you really think whether our conventional system provides enough practical education? If there happens a survey on this, a majority will vote in the negative. Sadly, our prime concern is securing marks of 80% and above but we ignore the knowledge part enmasse. And this negligence backfires when our mentally starving youth step out of college in search of a job. A recent survey sheds light at this plight, While the IT industry is in dire need of Professionals, the number of job worthy candidates are too less. And moreover the schools and colleges largely encourage people to become employees and fail to motivate them to aspire to become entrepreneurs. That is why our entrepreneurs quotient are comparatively less and employees quotient is really high a large number of whom does not meet the expectations. So where are we lagging in our education systems? My suggestion to our powerful leaders(!!!) are to bring in a paradigm shift and change the school education practically, based on the knowledge instead of marks. And motivate people to think innovatively, laterally, logically whatever maybe the word. This will help us to produce great employees, entrepreneurs, scientists etc. Hope you will agree with me and feel free to comment if you have different opinions or want to add a few more thoughts.

*I am not saying about all the schools but majority falls.
