What technology would you be better off without, why?
In the tapestry of my childhood, the absence of modern technology was a defining thread, weaving a simpler, slower-paced narrative devoid of smartphones and the omnipresence of the internet.
In an era untethered by smartphones, our interactions were personal and undistracted. The absence of constant notifications allowed for genuine connections, fostering a sense of presence in the moment.
A time untouched by the web meant that information unfolded at a different pace. The quest for knowledge involved library visits, encyclopedias, and the thrill of discovering answers through tangible pages, fostering a deeper appreciation for the journey of learning.
The absence of instant communication meant patience was a virtue. Waiting for a letter or relying on landlines instilled the art of anticipation, turning every exchange into a cherished moment.
In the absence of the incessant hum of technology, life unfolded at its natural pace. There was a simplicity to our routines, a tranquility in the slow lane of existence, unburdened by the constant pressure of instant updates and connectivity.
Reflecting on those technology-free days, it becomes evident that simplicity brought clarity. Without the constant digital buzz, the mind was untangled, fostering creativity, introspection, and a genuine connection with the surroundings.
In the contemporary world, as technology burgeons, there’s a paradoxical realization — the very tools designed for convenience can also be sources of distraction, contributing to a sense of being overwhelmed.
Thank you for reading.
Have a nice day
