Techno freak
“Excess of anything is bad”.
Today being Saturday got some time to skim through the newspaper, when I came across an article about ‘current era’ becoming more-n-more of techno freak, considering it to be smart enough to make a notable place in the society.
Initially it had an impression of an in-thing in the market, making easier for people to connect; locate the lost contacts and many more. However over the period of time seeing its high usage resulting in a bad health in all the means, physically as well as mentally made me give it a second thought to have them as an integral part of our lives.
People, for a while few questions have been popping up in my mind such as, Do you all really think so? Has it become must to have ‘smartphone’, ‘tablets’? Isn’t it building a gap between relations? Isn’t it increasing anxiety, curiosity, and expectation among us? Post doing a brainstorming session with myself have come to terms that it’s making all of us overdependence of the hi-tech gadgets by making us anti-social. No denial mode from me that indeed these gadgets are great relief in today’s hectic schedules. People considering to spent more time with their respective gadgets than their family & friends is alarming. In actual I know people who feels therapeutic after playing games on mobile / tablets /laptops; chatting on WhatsApp or social media from a stressful life, and I am no different from them as well.
I feel that being techno-savvy is good to a limit beyond the thin line, things are becoming difficult for people to handle. People being glued with their gadgets are leading to boredom; becoming self-centric; scrolling the screen for hours-n-hours, developing a high expectation from others to revert on every messages; sending invites on WhatsApp; wishing birthday / anniversaries on a social media and many more such activities. I believe time & effort are being put in to be an unproductive rather than utilizing the time ideally for resulting in a field day. However health issues occurring due to it is disturbance in sleep; anxiety, loneliness etc.
Let’s take a pledge to limit are usage and start calling close ones, and feel the same old warmth.

Very pertinent post... Each of us have become overdependent on gadgets so much so that we feel like fish out of water without these gadgets.
How easily our earlier generations used to remember numbers, were able to write a heart touching well structured letter, call and wish relations during occassions, remember "to do" list by memorizing..
Now we require contact book to know the number, abbreviations and slangs have replaced the cohesive language, passive messages and posting on wall have replaced one to one call, reminder apps have made inroads into our lives
We need to look back and work on the abilities of human mind rather than gadgets
