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.
