LIVING WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY IS A STRUGGLE

avatar
(Edited)

Sometimes I do wonder how life would have been without tools and technology, it would have been really stressful and closely unbearable for me though I can't say for others. Tools are simple equipments or facilities that aids in achieving some certain tasks. Tools are more of things that we can handle just like technology too but technology is a more upgraded tool, hehe. The point I'm driving is, I can't do without tools and technology, even if I can it won't be for too long. As humans, we will notice that as time goes on, we realize that we keep having great need for tools and technology that it keeps getting hard to live without them.

Tools and technology are things that we were blessed to create for our own use and it would be kind of funny for someone not to need their aids at some point if not every point. As time flies, I see a lot of things changing from what we use to know them to be into something else and there is need for constant upgrades else you will feel left behind. I literally do most things with either tools or technology or even both and it has made life really easy for me even as it also helps me save time. About eight years ago, I was not into technology as today and that was because I was not so fortunate to have a phone early so I had to learn how to do most things manually which was really not easy but I had to.

When I finally got an android phone,things began to change, although at first I was still not use to it but over time, I became more attached to my device than I even expected and that was because I started seeing a lot of things I could use it for. When I finally joined hive, my love for my device doubled as you will always see me engaging on Hive and doing some other things with my phone. It even got to the point when my phone was down, I felt like something was missing from me and that goes to tell you how much love I have for my devices.

The truth remains that it will be almost impossible for us to do with tools and technology as humans, after all these things were created because we know we have need for them. And my major tool and technology is my phone, power bank and charger. These three things are very valuable to be and they've really helped me a lot in times of emergencies. I take them to almost everywhere I go to except my phone that I take everywhere, hehe.

In conclusion, like I've said earlier, these things were made for our use and to ease our stress at some point, so the fact that we are this dependent on it is no surprise because that's why it is there in the first place. Indeed our relationship with tools and technology is complex and trying to get to the root of it would be like trying to get to the end of a circle which we all know is impossible. Like the questionnaire @anttn portrayed, these tools and technology are to us what our spirit and soul is to our body, it's so hard or even impossible to do without them in this modern world.

This is my entry for the challenge in the community about humans relationship with tools and technology. Do well to leave your contribution and opinions on my point of view, if is highly welcomed and appreciated.

We have grown a strong bond with technology and our smart phones seem to be the best of all technology because of how close these devices are to us.

I don't know if I should say it is good or bad the way we spend so much time on the device but I feel like that's the way of life now.

A lot of people earn a living through their devices and they have to stay online all day. Technology has been helpful but humans are idolizing it and it's slowly preventing us from engaging in the real world.

Yeah, you are absolutely right, we have been much closer to our devices that we keep losing interest in the real live activities but I think that is something that we have to deal with, we have to be intentional about getting more involved in real life activities if not it will just keep getting worse.

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your contribution 🥰.

I'm older than most people on the blockchain. I clearly remember when everyone had land-line phones, no cellphones. No computers, no email, no Internet. We had to write letters on paper to each other, put a stamp on them, and take them to the Post Office. TV was black-and-white only, and I remember when color-TV became available. We had no cable, just over-the-air broadcasts, 3 or 4 channels, that was it. No VHS tapes or DVDs, no Netflix or Hulu, we had to go to a theater in town if we wanted to see a movie. Microwaves had not been invented yet, so all cooking was in the big oven or the stovetop. Life was so different back then! 😂

Hahaha, I didn't get to experience almost all of these things but I've seen a movie that showed me a glimpse of how it was some years ago. Things have changed, are changing and will change, change is inevitable, hehe.

Thank you so much for your contribution ma'am, I'm so honored to have you stop by 🥰

With the way we are so accustomed to how things are - Netflix, microwaves, and even Tesla - it's really hard for me to fathom just how life was then and how you guys lived.

I would assume that people of that time were probably happier then and have less issues that we do now. Information, however, is something that we have more access to now.

If I were asked to live without my daily gadgets, it probably would sound like I am being asked to be put in jail as that is exaclty how I would feel - so confined. I use my phone and PC for virtually everything. It'll sure be difficult to do without them.

I would say, though, that technology has taken us to a whole different level, so much so that many of us barely recognize ourselves without it.

This only proves that as humans, we are dependent, really dependent 😅.

I don't think I've gone a day without checking my phone atleast twice. Humans get easily attached to things that make life easy. They even let their soul bond with it.

This is beautiful. Of a truth, we are so dependant on these tools and technology and they are already part of us. They make things easier and why wouldn't we embrace them? To me, I find them the best because you can use them to your advantage just as we are doing to earn money on Hive.

Great post dear.

Yeah it has so much to offer and I think it will be so unwise not to tap into such opportunities it has provided.

Sometimes I wonder how our ancestors coped without the use of technology, having to use physical strength for a lot of things, if they are opportune to be in our time, it will feel like heaven on earth to them

And our phone, our greatest addiction, but why not haha😂

I've wondered that too and I've also wondered how they finally broke the yoke of over stressing in most aspects, hehe.

Honestly, Living without smartphones, and laptop seems very easy for me and I can live without these things. In that case, I will miss those friends made on the hive platform. Nothing more. But living without all technology seems impossible for me like I can't think about my life without electricity.

Yeah, there are some technologies or tools that we can do without but there will always be that one that we can't really do without for a long time or at all.

Thank you so much for your contribution partner, it's always good having you around.

Good morning 🥰

Technology is can be a very good friend and same time bad friend, it just depends on how we use it and this time we can even go a day or a min without technology, my phone not being with me in five mins feels like I’m missing or I’m not complete 😁

Yeah technology has good and bad sides and that depends on the person in control of it. We are dependent to most tools and technology, we cannot deny that fact even if we do without some. I can't imagine trekking 50km, but if there are no vehicles I will have to but it's a matter of time before I faint 😂.

It's a great pleasure having you stop by friend, thank you so much for your contribution.
