Are we on the tech leash?
How dependant are we on technology on our day to day lives? Is it good for us if we are? There is no simple answer to this. Yes we definitely are dependant on technology and yes it is doing us good. Science has advanced, medicine has advanced, things are changing for the good as well as for the bad. Our security increases with new technology and at the same time technology in the wrong hands can lead to our extinction.
For our everyday comfort we rely on technology that was once consider a luxury before and now a necessity. In the same context, when the car was released, only a few people could afford it and it was considered a product only for the very rich people, but now even the old retired pensioner needs one. It is considered a part and parcel for a working person or a student. In the same fashion the phone was considered as a product for the flamboyant who had money throw and burn. However, we all now have mobile versions of it. So as some people would say, technology is turning us into machines, to some extent is it true but imagine if had no cell phones or internet or a car for a day. It would drive us crazy. Some people wouldn’t last an hour without it. Since technology has advanced, it has set a pace, a speed at which we work. From there on, there’s no going back.
There is no point in criticizing it. You’d rather spend that time catching up. Yes we could agree and say that people are working faster cause they have to make more money and kill the competition and we don’t have to follow them into the rat race, yes its true but to what extent can you lay back. Before you know it the world has left you far behind and you have no idea where you are. If your looking to get out of the rat race sell your car, your house, your contemporary designer jewellery and stay in Boracy.
