Life is too short to ignore people who matter in our lives. I don’t think we would want to arrive at a point where we regret we never spent quality time with a deceased.
I happened to read a Virily post whereby the author insists the need not to be too consumed with electronic gadgets by becoming so obsessed with them, we don’t spend quality time with those that matters.
Technology is good but should be used moderately. In life, we should tend to balance things because we’re becoming more disoriented in many aspects of our lives.
This is the case with talking to a person who is busy with their phone. It kinds feel like…
Here is the link to that article:
Hmm we use technology to connect with people far away and neglect those who are close to us. Everything in moderation.
That is true, Dawn. Moderation is the key.
Mobile phones are killing us. Social media is designed to hook our brains. It is very dangeours
It can be addictive that we lose sight of our environment concentrating so much on the Internet.
I agree, moderation is key. The advancement of technology brings new challenges, but it’s up to us how to deal with them.
Yes, ellie925. How we deal with the technology determines whether it will be productive or a menace.
ok so let’s throw this out.
First, anyone that rejects humans for technology has a different issue than technology.
we have so many fake people, who hide behind the anonymity of the internet to say and do as they please, and that is a huge issue.
We have many people who are using technology to do things, we couldn’t do before. Ask a blind person able to navigate much of Tokoyo now because of the IBM system for the blind.
Technology is not the problem. There were anti-social people before the internet. They just didn’t impact as many people then.
True, technology is not to be blamed. I’m grateful for the advancement of technology. The problem always lies with human beings. They misuse, abuse and take advantage of technology for their own benefit.
Also, knowing there is a time for everything.
it makes me sad. there are those who hide behind technology and create a sad reality.
my rule is if you can’t say something to someone’s face, don’t say it.
You are right, Doc. Better for that person to keep quiet than using technology for his own evil gains.
we live in the transition age.
Pundits call this the information age. But i was on a radio panel (they still broadcast radio) with several “experts” i challenged them to look up information about something that was validated.
they couldn’t
I told them we are on the edge of what will become the information age, eventually.
That means we aren’t yet in the information age. We are still a long way to go. Hopefully, we will reach there.
I have never upgraded for the sake of it I do not even own a smart phone. Happy with my very old model that only has voice and texting. I have a camera that takes care of my photography needs.
We can some times become distracted. I only have a smartphone and intend to buy a laptop for writing and designing purposes.
Indeed, gadgets has taken most of our time away from more important things and worse, they are taking a lot of time that supposed to be spent with the people around us.
That is true. There were times I was frustrated when I would enter a shop or business premises but the attendant was busy on their phone.
