Smartphones now controlling our lives: Sachin

Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is impressed with the advancement in technology, especially smartphones which are now controlling our lives and making it more convenient.

"Smartphones are literally controlling our lives - for your meetings, your alarms, reminders and all sorts of things. And as time goes by, things are getting more and more convenient for all of us. And with all these advanced technologies, god knows what's in store for all of us," said the Master Blaster at an event to promote Oxigen, a digital wallet company.

Sachin recalled the difficulty in connecting with family when mobile phones hadn't arrived.

"During the days when mobiles were not there and we were touring for number of days, to be in touch with family was a tough task. To co-ordinate, in the previous phone call, we actually had to decide, let's speak tomorrow at this particular time. And we had to make sure that we were available for that phone call. Otherwise co-coordinating was really difficult.

Well this revelation by Sachin is not a secret and is widely known in the non-cricket world. Maybe the Indians will believe now that it was said by one of their gods.
