Do you think technology is going crazy, crossing unlimited boundaries, raging beyond control and evolving beyond imagination ? Do you think this smart and crazy technology makes humans so lazy too? Though I have shared my opinions to these questions in different angles by writing some articles on technology (Article 1, Article 2, Article 3), I thought of writing more on this trending topic. Before technology made you lazy, it made you forget so many important things in your life. Let me just rewind few important events which we forgot or forgetting slowly.
Forgotten are those days when people used to walk miles and miles just to watch their favorite movies, to taste their favorite food, to see the beautiful places around them and so on. Forgotten are those days when younger generation shared their views and thoughts with their parents and elders or listened to their advice. Forgotten to eat healthy breakfast with nutrient enriched food. Forgotten to have a joint family dinner together. Forgotten to use pen or pencil to write or sketch on paper.
Forgotten to care and observe nature. Forgotten to plant seeds or grow trees. Forgotten to enjoy the sunrise or sunset. Forgotten to enjoy a full moon lit night with shining stars. Forgotten to enjoy a beautiful rainbow after a showering rain. Forgotten to listen to the music of birds. Forgotten to see, feel and hear the nonstop ocean waves lashing over the cluttered rocks. Forgotten to watch the golden honeybees and colorful butterflies buzzing over the beautiful flowers. Forgotten to breathe natural air or smell the natural fragrances such as the smell of various flowers including roses.
Now a days the terms walking, running, jogging, swimming are mostly used for losing the body weight, for staying fit, for improving the health, or for participating in the marathon race or athletic games. More work is given to the brain and eyes, spending most of the time seated in one place. In order to visit a friend who is only few minutes walk away, or to buy food items from a near by shop, bikes and cars are called for assistance. Climbing stairs from ground to first floor is a mission impossible task. Technology says "Press button 1 to go to first floor using lift or stand in 1 step until you reach first floor through escalator". Technological inventions are making jobs easy as well as making us lazy. Let us not make it more crazy.
