Technology is both a blessing and a curse to the world.

Technology has eased our lives in many ways from being able to talk to anyone anywhere in the world to be able to know what’s happening in the world right now, to self learning and becoming a tech guru to becoming an online sensation overnight . However its excessive use has made us highly dependent upon it, causing us not only health hazards but also a miserable lifestyle.

We need to accept that technology is here to stay and there is no escape. Yes, the usage can be certainly limited for a long and healthy life.

Technology advancements in the customer experience field have massive drawbacks. In an effort to provide the best customer service in the shortest time, we are becoming more in-human. People lack patience today. Every things has to happen NOW or else a bad rating for the service provider.

Thank god people don’t hasten to grow up from a child to an adult overnight

Youth is the biggest victim of the technology today. They have internet friends, they don’t remember phone numbers any more, they don’t remember birthdays, and they don’t write letter or emails anymore to distant friends or family. Young kids are so badly addicted to the screens, phones, television that they don’t use their other senses to its fullest other than visual.

We are becoming more mechanical day by day. We are turning into robots the more we are advancing in technology. We are becoming inhuman & insensitive. We are becoming the generation of “I, ME , Myself “ and not WE any more.

Here are few tips we can try to use:

  1. Back to old days “ Early to bed and Early to rise” and 30-45 minutes exercise , walk or meditation/prayers
  2. Have one meal with the whole family on the dinner table or sitting area with gadgets in other room.
  3. Share how your day was with your parents , siblings , friends
  4. Read for an hour.
  5. Write down whatever comes to you mind. Need not be perfect, just has to come from your heart.
  6. Cut down on the time for mobile, TV, internet, laptops, Xbox, etc when at home and make time for painting, drawing , carrom board, chess, story time some indoor activities.
  7. Plant a tree. Experience the nature for the best health.
  8. Say as many times as possible to your loved ones – I Love you, Thank you, Sorry .
  9. Hug the family members whenever you see them
  10. Last but not the least. Add to your monthly to do list, to take your kids to orphanage, old age homes, etc to help them give their good things to the ones who needs them badly. This will not only make them generous/humble but also grateful/thankful for the smallest and biggest blessings they have by default in their lives.
