The Growth of Tech in Pakistan

Today in the world technology is very very important. Without technology life looks incomplete. Every country is working on technology because it makes life easy. Pakistan is also using technology and slowly we are improving. We are not very modern like USA or China but still we are trying our best.

Internet and Mobile

In Pakistan mobile phones are very common. Almost every house has at least one mobile. Smartphones are everywhere and people use them for Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp, YouTube and many other things. Internet is also growing very fast. According to reports more than 120 million people in Pakistan are using internet which is a huge number.

Sometimes internet is slow and not available in villages, but still it is increasing day by day. Social media is not only for fun, many people earn money from it also.

Online Shopping

Before people used to go to markets for shopping. Now because of technology online shopping has started in Pakistan. Websites like Daraz and apps like Foodpanda are very famous. On Daraz we can buy clothes, shoes, mobiles and many more things. On Foodpanda we can order food at home. It is very easy and saves time.

Also bike services like Bykea and Careem are very helpful. They save time and give jobs to people.

Digital Money

Few years back everyone used cash for everything. Now apps like Easypaisa and JazzCash are very common. People pay bills, send money to each other and recharge balance from mobile. It is safe and fast. In future this will grow more.

Freelancing

One of the most proud things about Pakistan is freelancing. Pakistan is the 4th largest freelancing country in the world. Many young people earn money online by working on websites like Fiverr and Upwork. They do graphic designing, web development, writing and many other jobs. This helps them to support their family and also brings dollars to Pakistan.

Education and Technology

Technology has also changed education. During COVID-19, schools were closed and classes started online. Teachers used Zoom, Google Classroom and WhatsApp to teach. At first it was difficult but slowly students got used to it.

Now many apps and websites like Sabaq.pk and Edkasa are helping students to study at home. On YouTube also many teachers upload videos which is very helpful for exams.

Health and Technology

In hospitals and clinics technology is very important. Machines are used for checking patients. Doctors can also give advice through phone or video call which is called telemedicine. During corona time government used apps and websites to give information and arrange vaccination. This saved many lives.

Electricity load shedding makes it hard to use computers.

Cyber crimes like hacking and fraud are increasing.

Many people don’t know how to use technology properly.
