Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan needs no special introduction. The 77-year-old veteran
star believes that the world without a smartphone is quite an "improbability" today and never
has its value been evaluated more than during the global Coronavirus crisis. In a blog post-
for Samsung India, he recalled his journey from using a "hand-phone" which later got
changed into a smartphone or a "smart mobile." He adds that while the hand-phone has lost
its importance over the years, it is a smartphone that has become synonymous with our lives.

According to him, our dependency on smartphones has gone to such an extent that we take it
everywhere we go, just like we never forgot to take our wallet, house or car keys, before
leaving our homes in the past.

"Communication has redefined itself...it’s not about sitting around with the family or a group
of friends in a room over a cup of coffee...it’s about sitting around in a room with a cup of
coffee with friends .. BUT not together yet together .. that is the marvel of the ‘smarty’..,"
Bachchan said in his blog post.

Even film-shooting, he says, has become quite easy-peasy, thanks to the smartphone we use.
"Shoot a film with 12 artists in different parts of the world making it look as though they
were all in one room, was a unique idea and a unique exercise .. everything was controlled
conveyed communicated and composed with the ‘smart’..," he wrote.
Terming it the most important and "sacred" invention after the "wheel", Big B asserts that it
is the smartphone that has rather made our life easier. In fact, he also asks how our lives
would have been different if the ubiquitous "smart mobile" never really existed during this
ongoing lockdown period because of the coronavirus pandemic.
