My Little Angry Birds

Gone were the days when we awestruck to watch a number of people, holding a wireless device in their hands called as mobile phones, talking while walking and carrying this portable miniature thing everywhere. And the people, who had the authority to cling their hands on this gadget, were those who belonged to rich families. Later the world started to shrink, as new technological products made their ways to our world and the era of globalization begun. 

Nokia acted as the milestone in the market of mobile phones. Gradually, sms-ing and calling were not the only functions that were grasping our attention. Snake Game of Nokia caught its audience’s interest too, and most of the people were seen to play it during their leisure times. Our thumbs ran crazily over keypads, as it was occurred to us as delightful as one of our addictive hobbies. Well, now it is an old talk as more and more advancement are stepping into the world of technology.

I am not a very technologically literate person. But I happened to grab a new smartphone as a gift from my father couple of months back. A friend sitting next to me, while examining my smartphone, wore a rather shocking look and shrieked into my right ear, “O my god! You have Angry Birds in your phone”, to which I grimaced with an I-am-not-interested look. 

Few days later when I got time to probe my phone, I saw an icon on which a picture of a wingless angry bird was made. To my own surprise, I found it eye-catching and I tapped on it. This game was consisting of few angry wingless birds and some green chubby pigs. I began to play it, and the next thing I remembered, I was laughing, because of the hilarious sound effects. The smirking of the greedy pigs, the protests of birds in despise, and the happy “weeee!!” sounds of the birds whenever they got their chances to bring down their enemies.

Though this game is just another outcome of our brilliant technological developments, the results are ofcourse in front of us that how much it’s been a success story and was awarded as the “Best Game App” and the “App of the year”, because it’s been downloaded by users over 12 million times. I am not a game freak, I know very little about gaming but I do believe that apart from all the fame these “Angry Birds” got, it is undeniably one of the best remedies to cure our sad faces like those comic characters and stand-up comedians that we love to watch.

P.S I really don’t know how to end this post. But I hope these birds will stay a little longer into our restless lives.
