So what has technologogy done to us? While you are pondering, let me give you some insights.
Technology, i.e. computers, mobile phones, ipods, palm tops, blackberry and all that you can think of, is invading our lives. It seems that we are not able to live without them anymore.
A usual sight on the MRT train to work will be people plugging on their ipods and fingers busily punching on the key pads. When they reach the office, it is e-mail time first thing in the morning.
Will you live unplugged (2008) for a day? Well someone did, when she realised that she was ‘blogging in her dreams and hearing imaginary instant messages’. (The Straits Times, 2008)
Another addict said that it was ‘hours lost while surfing online that left her feeling like she had been in a drunken blackout’.
They decided that the solution is to break away from technology for certain nights, by switching off their computers, mobile phones and TV, in order to lead a tech free live.
Maybe I will try it on Earth day. Save the world and save my soul.
