Function(al) Technology
F or our twelfth anniversary, we
brand new OS that we’ve never used is not even
a challenge anymore. Sure we might fumble a
few times in the beginning, but we get used to
it in no time. Is that because the technology has
become simpler to understand and use, or is it
because we’ve been exposed to technology for so
long now that it’s almost intuitive, and we learn
quicker? A little of both is perhaps the reason,
but the result of that is what’s important – we
no longer need to get in on the ground loor of a
new technology to be able to use it effectively.
Take a simple function of commuting – what
we did on foot became horseback riding, then
the wheel brought forth the cart, followed by
the automobile, then airplanes and inally
space shuttles. Technology helped make it
possible for us to travel thousands of kilom-
eters in a few hours, yet it’s also technology
that reduced the very need to travel itself.
From having to travel to meet a friend who
stayed far away, irst we made it possible to
write to him, then we reduced the time between
responses by inventing the telephone and fax,
then came email, video chats and inally social
networking. Today, a lot of us are able to feel
connected to people we haven’t met face-to-face
in years. We’re also able to e-commute to work,
be available anytime, anywhere... our functional
need of being connected – to friends and to work
– has never been better served by technology.
This is just a miniscule example of one of
the thousands of ways technology has changed
the way we function. The technologies and
services that will win out in the end are those
that best serve our thousands of varied yet
important functions – meet people, learn
something, pay bills, earn money, clean my
room, help me live longer, snoop on friends,
entertain me, expand my vision, give me ideas...
Put simply, this is what Digit’s been doing
over the past 12 years as well – ensuring
that you always ind the most functional
path forwards, by being your technology
navigator. Here’s to many more years of col-
laboration between you and this brand we
all love. Please keep the feedback coming
– how else will we know how you function,
and how we should function for you?
wanted to continue the theme of
using the number to signify some-
thing, because it might be some
time before we can do that again. Numbers
after 12 aren’t really something people easily
relate to – 10 is a decade, 12 is a dozen, but 13
to 19 are not really numbers that lend them-
selves to catchy themes. We’d have to wait
another eight years till we got to 20 before
we’d be able to really exploit numbers again.
However, 12 really did it well this year
for another reason: it’s a itting farewell (of
sorts) to aspects of the keyboard, especially
the function keys, which went from being
super-important shortcuts to something
we almost never use anymore. Technology
changes, we change, our needs and wants
change, and this change is the only constant.
What is technology really, and what does
it do for us? Is it just an enabler, allowing us
to do what we couldn’t before? Is it a simpli-
ier, that helps make tedious tasks easier
and quicker to achieve? Perhaps technology
is just something that helps us “func-
tion” better – at work, at home, in school,
as human beings, as organic constructs
prone to breakdowns... you get the drift.
Looking back at the 12 years of Digit thus
far – while going through all the PDFs of the
past issues (ind them on the DVD) – apart
from all the sentimental reminiscing that
occurred, it was obvious how much technology
has changed our lives. It was also obvious
how much this magazine has evolved.
Back in 2001, the need of the day was
information. People wanted to learn about
this almost alien, yet wonderful thing called
technology – the PC, the web and tech-
nology in general was something novel. The
“function” of this magazine back then was
clearly teaching you about technology, how
something works, how to tell good products
from bad, how to use them better, etc.
Of course, the primary objective of this
magazine will always be to open your eyes to
the “new” (and not always “improved”), but you
have more advanced needs now. The function
that technology plays in your life has changed,
and technology itself is the one that changed it!
From the days when we’d look at a humble
PC in awe, today all of us can interface with new
technologies with ease. The latest phone with a

I’ve got so many favourite glasses, I can’t
decide which one to wear. So I wear all of
them at once. Like a Bawss!
We know that In-
dia’s a place of too
little land illed with
too many people.
Real estate ain’t
cheap. But, in all
honesty, even this
bike-cum-van takes
the concept of a mo-
bile home a little too
far, don’t you think?
Winter’s coming...
NOT! Suck on that,
because as you were
sleeping, the White
Walkers crept over
the wall, carrying
a dead, decompos-
ing yak’s head as
a friendly offering
to the good folk of
Westeros.
What are you looking
at, punk? Flip over
the page now. Now,
I say! Don’t you see
how menacingly I’m
staring at you? Quake
in your boots, for I’ve
recorded a mental
picture of yours... and
I’m coming for you.

What should I tell the publishers of
this graphic novel? That the writing’s too
drab? The visuals too blah? Ah, the conun-
drum. Meow.
