Platform Vs Service

There is confusing in my mind to actually figure out what do you actually mean by a platform and what is a service ?
My visualization is getting a little blurred because of the confusion ...
A platform is a concrete space available for doing something. Launch a service ..may be...
A service is focused around a customer where you deliver value for some return.
Actually these definitions are also vague in my mind...
A want to see myself as a platform but always my definition about me happens as a service ... will update this space once a clarity emerges..

Amazing Biometric experience with RTO

I had been to the RTO office today at andheri for getting my learning license done ...It was far better experience than I imagined it would be . I am so proud of the Mumbai RTO . Though the office opened and 1 hr late than it's scheduled time , I am impressed at the way my details got captured in the RTO records..
I was made to sit in one place . There was a thumb impression recorder next to me . I gave my left hand thumb impression on it. In front of me was an Iball handwriting Capture device . On which I was asked to sign . My signature got recorded on the computer in front of me. Then I was asked to look up straight into a camera which captured my picture... I was asked to verify the details being shown on the computer screen . She narrated the details and I confirmed and that's it without a pen and paper my details got registered in the RTO System through bio metrics.

The only problem was while signing . Since i couldn't see what I was writing on the hadwriting capturing device I dint know where to put the dots in my signature. Apart from this there was no error what so ever...

I will be getting a smart chick smart card as my driving lincense and all penalties will also get attached to it later on I was told !! Amazing !!

Way to go RTO .... ME TRULY PROUD TO BE A MUMBAIKAR !!
