365 Exciting Ways to Live - 38

38 / 365  Enjoy Freedom from Technology
All of the biggest technological inventions created by man – the airplane, the
automobile, the computer – says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about
his laziness.

 Mark Kennedy


We should use technology to enhance our productivity without becoming a slave to technology. We should control technology and not allow technology to control us. Check if you are a slave to technology:

·         Are you restless if you don’t have your mobile phone for an hour?
·         Are you upset when the lift does not work?
·         Do you mess up your morning, if your alarm does not go off at the time set?
·         Are you immobilised if there is no fuel in for your vehicle?

If the answer is ‘yes’, you may be a slave to technology! Why don’t you learn to live without technology? Refuse to be paralysed if technology lets you down. Try these simple exercises to enjoy freedom from technology:

·         Try to remember telephone numbers and dial without using the phone memory.
·         Do simple calculations without using a calculator to know what is four times four.
·         Don’t lift your mobile phone every alternate hour.

Climb the stairs one day every week and don’t use the lift.
