आज तकनीक पर कामचलताऊ ढ़ंग से लिखने-बोलने से से काम नहीं चलेगा, जैसा कि हिंदी बुद्धिजीवी अभी कर रहे हैं। बल्कि इस बारे में हल्की-फुल्की भाषा में सामग्री पढ़ने की चाह रखने से भी बाज आना चाहिए। चलताऊ भाषा में आप नए उपकरणों की गुणवत्ता की, उनके उपयोग आदि की जानकारी ले-दे सकते हैं। किसी स्मार्ट उपकरण समीक्षाएं पढ़कर उसे खरीदने या न खरीदने का फैसला कर…[Read more]
