Technology

We create it, we birth it, we feed it, we enhance it...and yet we fail to realize that it is biting us in return. And somehow, it is able to influence us so much that we drop down like we're slaves to some diety. When in actuality, this is the very true meaning of "idol worshipping" that we've been told to avoid.

It's simply common sense.

We think we are solving our stress problems by inventing a way for more leisure time. It's only creating more problems, more complications, more feelings that life is moving just too fast to keep up with.

So what are we really doing with that spare time due to our newly concocted labor-saving gadgets? Sitting in our cars in a jam because more cars and same old roads equals everyone going nowhere fast. Sitting in front of TV and computer screens with frivolous and violent video games, movies... that do nothing particularly good for us because it's just like heroin and gambling. Addictive. People waste away for hours on end doing nothing productive, and nothing sentimentally memorable, nothing beneficial...Just getting addicted so that we become dependent on these devices, dependent on their manufacturors to keep our lives......stable? Besides our dependency on this technology is not making life 'easier', it's just making us less productive and more stressed...removing what little life we have left.

Of course.. not all technology is malicious, man-eating, artificial scum. Some is beneficial in ways. We've just got to keep it to the basic needs. For example, a remote control for a TV set... imagine what a difference it would make in our health if we got up and took those few steps back and forth. Or a movie theatre...Rather than waste your money to kill your eardrums with the intense sound effects....why not save time, money, and health by watching it at home. I suppose, part of it is man's natural curiosity...almost impossible to overcome. Just keep your use of appliances reasonable... Although it doesn't seem so, life is so much more enjoyable and simpler with out them.

So...Are we just gonna let this thing make slaves of us?
