Though the indian government is increasing the usage of computers, internet, for individuals, professionals and small business owners it appears that the usage of computers has declined. Part of the reason for the decline of computer usage appears to be google and more specifically nsa/ntro with their insistence on good looking slim attractive people only using the internet, their work ethic, competence, integrity does not matter. Mumbai is the commercial capital of india, and business technology usage trends in the city are usually followed elsewhere in India.
In bhandup ari* is one of most famous computer stores selling low cost computers and other gadgets for more than 8 years . Till a few years ago they made most of their money selling computers and related accessories like pen drives, external hard drives, memory cards. However in 2016, they appeared to be focussing on xeroxing reports for college students and there were almost no pen drives or accessories visible on the front display, instead they were promoting pens and other stationery items, indicating the current trend.
It appears that google, nsa/ntro have surpassed themselves in harassing small business owners who use computers for their business requirement with their endless lies, impersonation frauds. Most business owners are practical , they have spent a lot of time and effort in building their business from scratch and would rather retain control of their business, rather than comply with ntro’s unfair requirement that a young good looking lazy greedy person be made the ceo because someone in ntro, cbi, raw approves the young mediocre fraud
So now stationery shops are flourishing as small business owners again keep paper records. At saki naka junction, one of the busiest junctions in Mumbai a stationery shop had posters announcing account books and other stationery items, an indicator of the business volumes, and computer stores are becoming increasingly rare. Many laptop brands are no longer available in India, and laptop ads in newspapers and elsewhere are also rarely visible. Unlike white anglo saxon protestants in USA and european citizens, due to hereditary factors, most indian citizens are not fair, tall, good looking and open discrimination will not be tolerated.
So when ntro is targetting small business owners, stealing their digital data, impersonating them, they are killing the golden goose who laid golden eggs for them daily for short term gain as they will not purchase computers regularly in future.
