IT’S A HI TECH LIFE
.jpg)
Touch a button and everything is downloaded or uploaded. Isn't that the trend everywhere now whatever
the field this push button convenience seems to be taking over, whether it’s
publishing, the kitchen, home
front luxuries or travel or communications
entertainment etc? This is convenience
at its best where there is
minimal or no effort and the result is plain to see
whatever happened to no pain no gain ....anyway I am not complaining here, hi techno
gizmos you are most welcome.
The thing that is a cause for concern is that with all this
easy way of living that technology brings forth there is a paradigm shift in
the thinking of this new generation of hi tech users who are so hooked up to
these gadgets of convenience that they expect it to be so in all others areas of
life too... The emotional ,physical ,personal aspects of life cannot somehow become machine
like and that's how it is seeming to be.
Many are aware of their growing sense of inadequacies in
mutual relationships. The lack of care
and concern due to time, and work pressure is somehow seen to be adjusted and
neutralized by hi tech gadgets in our households. So much that the person lets the products of convenience make up for his personal presence or absence in family
situations and
experiences. Similarly if
one notices most students are averse to listening to another and taking in
information for another as their attention span for personal communication is overridden by convenience of Internets chats and social networks and group calls so why bother.
What happened to good old teaching actually the
educationists to prefer going tech savvy as they feel that they would be lagging
behind otherwise.
The issue for concern is larger than all these little details
slowly machines have replaced humans in most spheres of life. The advent of machines is real and right
there in front of us.
Every house in the city and even villages are connected with
Internets,so there is a network of telecommunications system without any hazard control
measure in place.
In most of the developing countries the health standards and safety for mobile towers, radiations
hazards in private personal and public spaces are totally disregarded. People seem to be more interested in getting
the job done quickly... with lack of time stress levels are on a all time high and
no one seems to be bothered if there are reports published once in
a while by some concerned individuals about the dangers of radiations from all
these devices of modern technology. The
page is turned over with not even a response as no one seems to have the
time. ' Let someone else to do the job or let’s
wait and see if it’s really that bad or so far I haven’t experienced anything. So
why bother.'is the care a damn attitude prevalent across most sections of the thinking population.
Lack of empathetic responses makes us more and more
mechanical in our approach and we seem to be losing the humane side of us. This is exactly what is happening on a large
scale. People are growing indifferent
and unapproachable, shrewd and over efficient for a purpose. There is no genuineness left in most relationships as well,
everything is for what can I make from this.

So whether its education or otherwise the trend is to conveniently download information and present your work as done instead of
contemplative thought and deep understanding.
There are very few individuals who are not caught in this web of
technology and their numbers is dwindling...
It’s time we wake up to core values or they would be lost
forever. An e card will wish you on your
birthday and a cake and roses will be sent to you by post but there will be no
one to eat it with. Just you and your
gadgets how about it?
