How Microsoft has impacted your life and how you plan to bring a change to the society being a Microsoft Student Associate?

How Microsoft has impacted my life ?


It would be really unfair if i'd say Microsoft impacted my life alone. In fact, it had great impact on everyone. I could still remember my mom shouting at me for spending hours and hours on MS-PAINT, which was my first companion from Microsoft. That's where my journey with Microsoft started. As a kid, i was amazed at how it worked, later it turned into curiosity and now am writing this now. I've Always noticed great improvements from OS to later version of that OS. The first MS-OS I've used is Windows 98. That was the time when i used my PC entirely for games. Later I've started noticing the changes in Operating Systems. That was the time when Windows XP rolled into market. It was love at first sight. The colors and GUI took computer GUI to a whole new level. The innovation didn't just stop there, then came Windows 7. Enhanced GUI , improved Voice recognition and lot more. Then came Windows 8, later Windows 8.1. They just simply rock, with own built-in apps and separate start menu which suits the design perfectly.

Microsoft didn't just stop with operating system alone, they made many other awesome products. The best would be Microsoft Office

This had been a great help during my school days, i can't imagine what i would have done without this.

The next product that caught my eye was SKYPE. Imagine i could talk with my friend all day long without paying a penny to my service provider. Well, Skype made it possible.



And i can't leave out VISUAL STUDIO. The BEST product ever, took coding to a whole new level and with new Windows App Designing SDK, i can create apps for Windows mobile. 



If there hadn't been Microsoft, i just can't imagine what i'd been doing right now.. So this is how Microsoft impacted in my life.

How I plan to bring a change to the society being a Microsoft Student Associate:


Microsoft Student Associate Program enables me to meet some people exploring the new, trending and evergreen Microsoft technologies. And as they say, give the right man knowledge and the world seems to be enlightened then. Quite similar to that, one might call me a man en-route that path. Over years, I have actually learned what Bill Gates said, “I believe that if you show people the problems and then, you show them the solutions, they are moved to act”. Probably, this has always made me never leave any platform I could get to share with people, interact with them, give closer looks and feel what they feel.



“Power is gained by sharing knowledge and not by hoarding it. That’s like a miracle, the more we share, the more we induce.” This is something more that I have learned ever since I learned to handle myself. And I've always wanted to form a organisation for education purpose and this gives me a head start, the best way to share knowledge. And Microsoft Virtual academy is awesome, the best way to learn and improve our skills. Such great opportunities are not utilized due to lack of communication and so, my job would be to spread such news through social media and in person to my colleague in college.

I consider this as my time to getting started...
