			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nishad gave me this idea of not using phone. The Sagar vai (Before his job) was man of email and fb message. I liked the idea very much.</p>
<p>Lets use the problem solving approach to find a alternative of mobile phone:</p>
<p><strong>Needs of mobile phone:</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">a. Super Instant Voice Communication (Phone call)<br />
b. SMS<br />
c. needless longtime talk with people (who loves to do that)<br />
d. Alarm Clock<br />
e. Email / Web / twitter on the go<br />
f. Helps me not use a Land phone</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">
<p><strong>Alternative thinking</strong> :</p>
<p><strong>a. Super Instant Voice Communication (Phone call)</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>With whom I talk /what alternative options I have:</strong><br />
<strong>1. Family</strong><br />
&#8212;&gt; My family(without my sister) don&#8217;t use Internet on a regular basis. Most of the time, they make a phone call for any need. Not using a Phone will create a big problem. SMS response is <strong><em>not</em></strong> solution for them.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8211;&gt; problems like: Open the door and any emergency  needs a 1o0% functional phone.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Alternative: Unknown</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>2. Classmates</strong><br />
&#8211;&gt; Most of them use email/Gtalk/Google Doc but for a urgent work then need the phone.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Alternative: Email ~ SMS type of application will help! but is not a good alternative.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>3. Local service providers (Internet / Bank etc)</strong><br />
&#8211;&gt; if internet is dead, I need a phone to notify them.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Alternative: Land Phone / others mobile phone</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>4. Local clients</strong> <strong>/ office co-workers </strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Alternative:  Email / wave / google doc can change.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>5. Friends</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8211;&gt; who calls over phone likes talk on phone, no matter they use fb/ gtalk/skype or not.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Alternative:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Call: Land Phone (it will be voice communication but not super instance)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Receive: Unknown</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">
<p><strong>b. SMS </strong></p>
<p>Email and facebook is not an alternative with whom I use SMS. I don&#8217;t SMS those guys, who use FB/email.</p>
<p>Alternative :</p>
<p>&#8211; SEND : send form web to sms application to send .</p>
<p>&#8211;Receive  : Unknown</p>
<p><strong>c. Needless longtime talk with people (who loves to do that)</strong></p>
<p>&#8211; I think I&#8217;ll miss that but I can stop that without any alternative</p>
<p>Alternative: Land Phone</p>
<p><strong>d. Alarm Clock</strong></p>
<p>Alternative: I&#8217;ll use other alarm clock and watch<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>e. Email / Web / twitter on the go</strong></p>
<p>Alternative: Not use it on the GO (that&#8217;s less than 10hours in a week)<br />
<strong> f. Helps me not use a Land phone</strong></p>
<p>Alternative: IP PHONE (but it does not work when you net is down, or no power )</p>
<p>&#8211; Not 100% replaceable</p>
<p><strong>Lets have list of 10 mobile phone alternative:</strong><br />
<strong> 1. Gmail / Gtalk / Skype</strong><br />
- Clients<br />
- family abroad who don&#8217;t use Facebook<br />
- Classmates<br />
<strong> 2. FaceBook</strong><br />
- for my &#8220;Just&#8221; Friends<br />
- My Facebook Friends<br />
- My &#8220;good&#8221; Friends<br />
&#8212;-&gt; OK &#8220;Friends and family who are in facebook&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>3. Google Wave / Docs</strong><br />
&#8211; Office<br />
&#8211; Classmates</p>
<p>But it does not solves all my problem, so I have to have a phone.</p>
<p>please help me to find out some solution / alternative for any of them,  it will be great help.</p>
<p>Thank  You.</p>
