A lifestyle without the modern gadgets, sounds quite a hard life to live. But lets
look deep and analyse both sides of this. Life de-modernised would be a time
consuming one requiring a lot of time and effort, for example, can u imagine
urself carrying around your home stereo, you cannot!!.. instead we have mp3
players and iPod's too boost our speed in life. Although there are so many
negatives to be seen on the surface when considering a lifestyle without
modern gadgets, we as people have actually forgotten the beauty and simplicity
of life without modern technology. The simplicity of learning to do things by
yourself instead of a 'machine', the simplicity of working together physically
instead of creating your 'own workspace at home' as 'teleworking', confining
you to a lonesome boundary in life giving you all the opportunity to
procrastinate in ur own home.. Technology is good but has also brought people
to a height of extreme convenience where we easily forget our roots of
simplicity.
Time is very precious in today’s era. Everyone wants to do things in very short
span. The quotation “Stitch in time saves nine” means if you finish something
in time, you will be able to do ten things in the time you saved. Keeping this in
view, scientists and technologysts developed many new things to save as much
time as possible. In each and every sphere of life we can find machines and
gadgets that saves our time a lot. Wether it is business, transport, education,
communication, new technology did a lot. ATM is one of the inventions of time
saving gadgets. ATM is expanded as Automated Teller Machine. Or sometimes
we can also say it as Any Time Money machine which is true in its sense. We
can draw money at any instance of time with the help of ATM, a day or mid-
night, in emergencies, or when we shop we need not have to carry cash, we
simply apply the credit or debit card, same like ATM card. Initially, we have to
stand in long.
It was a week of truly longish, unplanned blackouts. The pillar box was hit by a
truck, and power went off in a block of buildings. Our world plunged into non-
connectivity during the day and total darkness at night.
Ever notice how when there is a blackout, everyone goes outside? We flatmates
met and introduced ourselves, though we've lived a few feet away from one
another for months. In that break from our frenetic schedules involving
mobiles, Internet, video games and TV, we connected with people. We had no
idea when we'd see “light”, so we talked about “coping” and soon realised we all
sounded happy.
Psychologists tell us that we could be raising kids who live only for the thrill of the computer-
generated moment. They are in danger of detaching themselves from what the rest of us would
consider the real world, they say. As for us, we live in a world so technologically dependent that
even a computer crash gives us many anxious moments. . Question is: Should pleasure be
defined by the endless hours spent in front of a computer console? Should it be defined by our
giggles at online comics?
In a business-centred existence, there is probably no going back to a pre-computer age. That age
will demand that we do more of our work ourselves; information won't travel so quickly, and
medical science may get frozen. But consider this theory: If all modern technology shut down
and we were forced to live without e-appliances and gadgets, we'd adapt. It might signal more
face-to-face time with people instead of emails and texting, might mean more walking and
knowing what goes on in our neighbourhood. We might come out of the “lonesome boundary of
life” that teleworking creates, and stop to smile at our neighbour, rather than at a shadow
appearing on a pixellated screen. Some of us might even start a campaign for the rights of
pedestrians.
Maybe it's time we cut down the computer/cellphone/television-coloured hours and step out to
look at the moon. Or go to one of those lovely resorts in the Mudumalai forest which are not
“connected”, and spend time fishing, swimming, taking pictures of animals or simply gazing at
spotted deer.
day without a phone isn’t so bad. You will be forced to interact with people
around you. Yes, you wouldn’t be able to access your social media but it is
just for one day. The random annoying notification every hour will not
disrupt the deep conversation you are having with friends and family. Some
people might think that it is hard at first because our phones serve as the
primary means of communication. They might think that they cannot
survive. Others will feel awkward. For others like me, it wouldn’t be so bad
after all.
You will have a more productive day if you forget about your phone. The
cell phone is a distraction. It is banned in some workplaces
because employers want their employees to be productive. They want
employees to focus on their tasks and complete them quickly. Instead of
checking their phones every ten minutes they complete assigned tasks
daily. The phone is a distraction that hinders productivity.
