The introduction of the first computer in India in 1957 caused concern among the people, who were concerned about job loss. The United States produced the world's first electronic digital computer, the UNIV AC-I, in 1951 using vacuum tubes. Eventually, vacuum tubes were replaced by integrated circuits, which are small electronic chips with high processing capabilities. In 1980, the first PC was made available for purchase in India, and it quickly spread across the workplace and families. The rapid processing of information and easy exchange of information have significantly impacted the development of the Information Age.People now have the ability to share their information, resources, and processing load independently. The Internet, a massive network of computers worldwide, was the next significant advancement, transforming the way businesses operate. Access to the internet in India began in 1992, coinciding with India's decision to open its economy to the outside world through the globalisation movement.

Education is a fundamental aspect of personal and societal development, and it has evolved over the centuries. It is the process of transferring values, knowledge, and skills from one generation to the next through various institutions. Traditional educational models view learning as a sequential and enjoyable activity, with John Dewey stating that education is the reconstruction or refocusing of experience that increases one's wisdom, skill, and power. Education is a lifelong process that does not end with formal schooling but also includes social agencies such as home, religion, newspapers, radio, library, movies, and television.The best education is one that prepares a young person to thrive in a dynamic and unpredictable environment. The goals of education have shifted from one culture or age to the next, but they have always focused on developing students' minds and bodies. The effects of modernization on the educational system are summed up in the phrase "modernisation." The rapid expansion of human understanding has led to a need for modern education systems to keep up with the rapid expansion of human understanding.Educators should prioritize fostering students' natural inclinations to learn and explore, as well as their ability to think critically and make sound judgments. To achieve national goals, education must be a "powerful instrument of social, economic, and cultural transformation." The population explosion, especially in emerging nations, is attempting to alter the established order of things, much like the information explosion in the industrialized world.In underdeveloped nations, the problem of illiteracy must take priority. More educators are needed to eradicate this issue, but it won't be enough. Modern technology can help resolve many of these issues, not only increasing access to education but also enhancing the quality of education. The concepts of psychology have an impact on the design of educational methods, and technological advancements have had a profound impact on the educational system and its goals.Despite the excitement and confusion surrounding the current state of schooling, it is essential to recognize the importance of education in shaping a person's character and fostering their full potential.

The Internet of Things (IoT) enables autonomous, predictive, and real-time sensing and monitoring of things without human intervention. As connected devices have proliferated, so has the need to transmit and receive data, consolidate and evaluate it, and respond to events. IoT solutions connect machines, sensors, and control systems to speed up contemporary industrial manufacturing. Its Predictive Maintenance, Statistical Evaluation, and Measuring may increase system reliability.IoT links and organizes a wide network of devices and intelligent entities, enabling real-time communication between physical things through any Internet-connected network or service. Smart objects identify, communicate, and make choices, accessing data from other items. The Internet is still strong because it links individuals to actual objects and enables them to communicate in real time.The evolution of IoT began with landline phones, radios, and TVs, which were one-way experiences. The 1980s saw the development of Atari and Commodore home computers and IBM PCs, which improved the efficiency of machines in connecting to the outside world. However, slow dial-up rates and infrastructure made connecting a new concept.A smart object network may employ embedded sensors and actuators to observe, feel, record, share, and react to various types of data. The concept of IoT has evolved since 2009, with the goal of reducing waste, loss, and costs by allowing computers to know everything there is to know about things.

Spirituality in general and in the workplace in particular has received heightened attentionnot only in the popular press but also in the business and management literature and inresearch (Fry, 2003; Gotsis & Kortezi, 2008; Kolodinsky, Giacalone, & Jurkiewicz, 2008;Konz & Ryan, 1999; McLaughlin, 1998; Pawar, 2009a). The phenomenon of connectingspirituality to work has now become a part of the popular culture. Evidences of workplacespirituality have become a significant movement and can be easily found (Conlin, 1999;McKee, 2003). Garcia-Zamor (2003) stated that over 300 books on workplace spiritualitywere in bookstores in 1999 which in 2001 captured a niche market of $2.2 billion (Lewis,2001). Some examples of such books are: A Spiritual Audit of Corporate America(Mitroff & Denton, 1999a), Liberating the Corporate Soul (Barrett, 1998), Spirit at Work(Conger, 1994), The Soul of Business: Managing for Profit and the Common Good(Chappell, 1993), Leading with Soul (Bolman & Deal, 1995), and The Heart Aroused:Poetry and Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America (Whyte, 1994). Aburdene(2007) in her latest book, Megatrend 2010, stated that the presence of spirituality inbusiness has become so pervasive that it is the greatest megatrend of this decade. Further,

Due to the emergence of globalisation, the outsourcing has become one ofthe widely accepted business strategies (Felix & Shale, 2016). In the recent past,most of the firms have outsourced its diversified business operations with theultimate aim of enhancing their service and product quality, to reduce productioncycle, time lag and reduction of costs (Cooke et. al., 2005). The outsourcing alsofacilitates to focus on the core competencies of a firm which also highly influenceon the organisational effectiveness. Thus, firms can be focused on the set of limitedfunctions and outsource other business activities to outsiders who are specialists inthe respective field (Delmotte & Sels, 2008). This strategy paves the way to focuson the core business activities for attaining competitive advantage and outsourcingof low-value-added activities to other firms (Hirschhorn & Gilmore, 1992;Ulrich, et al., 2008).
