Technologies have now become the integral part of modern era. In our daily routine life we encounter with several products and technologies to make our work and life easy but does it solve the purpose always?..

  • Sometimes it’s dangerous to use, and
  • Sometimes it leads to frustration....

Our encounter with technology continues every single moment, when we are relaxing, or when we use different appliances in home or office, our lives are full of moments with technologies, and theme for the competition is to identify such moments, specially the ones that cause frustration and convey them with a humorous and thought provoking cartoon.
