Life without Modern Gadgets
LIFE WITHOUT MODERN GADETS................

A lifestyle without the modern gadgets, sounds quite a hard life to live. But lets look deep and analyse both sides of this.
Life de-modernised would be a time consuming one requiring a lot of time and effort, for example, can u imagine urself carrying around your home stereo, you cannot!!.. instead we have mp3 players and iPod's too boost our speed in life.
Although there are so many negatives to be seen on the surface when considering a lifestyle without modern gadgets, we as people have actually forgotten the beauty and simplicity of life without modern technology. The simplicity of learning to do things by yourself instead of a 'machine', the simplicity of working together physically instead of creating your 'own workspace at home' as 'teleworking', confining you to a lonesome boundary in life giving you all the opportunity to procrastinate in ur own home..
Technology is good but has also brought people to a height of extreme convenience where we easily forget our roots of simplicity.

Time is very precious in today’s era. Everyone wants to do things in very short span. The quotation “Stitch in time saves nine” means if you finish something in time, you will be able to do ten things in the time you saved. Keeping this in view, scientists and technologysts developed many new things to save as much time as possible. In each and every sphere of life we can find machines and gadgets that saves our time a lot. Wether it is business, transport, education, communication, new technology did a lot. ATM is one of the inventions of time saving gadgets. ATM is expanded as Automated Teller Machine. Or sometimes we can also say it as Any Time Money machine which is true in its sense. We can draw money at any instance of time with the help of ATM, a day or mid-night, in emergencies, or when we shop we need not have to carry cash, we simply apply the credit or debit card, same like ATM card. Initially, we have to stand in long

    All of our technology has come a very long way over the years. From the very first phone or television that was invented, it is unbelievable how these same devices look and function in today’s world. You now have flat screen televisions instead of tube televisions. We advanced from the first phone to now having satellite phones and cell phones. Modern technology is very amazing in one aspect, but very crippling to us in another. We have become so dependent on it that we would be lost without all of our gadgets.…

    Not only does simplicity contradict individuality, it also makes technological and scientific advances impossible. Sure, we can live without Sidekicks but even “luxurious” items such as televisions are useful for communication and spreading knowledge. Also new technology helps make things like stem cell research and cures for cancer research, possible.…

    I have some older friends who know nothing about technology and would not know how to use it. They do not have the internet or a cell phone and say that they do not need it. We sometimes tease them by calling them Fred Flintstone and ask how everything is in Bedrock. I think that now a day’s technology has become a necessity and not just a luxury.…

    Growing up in my generation has always had me wondering how different our lives would be if we had no internet. We rely on our cellphones and computers so much, are we really living? If we aren’t living, where does our happiness come in play? Melvin Kranzberg quotes: “Technology is neither good nor evil. The most we can say about it is this: It has come” (Kranzberg). Kranzberg is saying that there are advantages and disadvantages to having access to technology. We have the flexibility to learn anything, anywhere we can reach a computer or device. Sadly, with social media becoming a huge hype, we are diminishing face-to-face communication. Is technology preventing humans from really living while impacting a person's level of happiness?…

    Going off the electronic grid would mean many different things to different people; we lead a fast paced life.

The Internet seduces us into a world of information that separates us from human contact by alienating us from physical activities and human contact.…

    “I cannot imagine how I would live without it.” These are the words uttered by countless teenagers and adults about the technology they use to enhance their daily lives. It is hard to remember the days of lugging around CD’s and walk-mans. Bicycles as transportation seem like a thing of the past. Writing notes and remembering information for the next day is long forgotten. Reading encyclopedias and using books for research papers seems nonexistent. Simple technological advancements have changed how people view the world. As a child of a modern age, technology has become an integral part of my everyday life. A separation of these technical innovations…

    It is doubtful that I could do without any of these such as my cell phone, computer and internet to name a few for even a short period of time; nor would I want to. I use my laptop every day for class and I am always researching information. There is a wealth of information on just about everything one needs to know. Communication has been made easier now. We can video chat with anyone in the world. Television, refrigerators, microwaves, vacuums and dishwashers have made life so much easier. I enjoy playing video games with my friends and yes sometimes it makes me lazy, but it is very relaxing. Although sometimes I will not get some work done that I should have because I have become engrossed with the game. The internet allows us to buy and return items online without having to go to a store. The internet is good for advertising in business and the fastest way to get information out…

    Think of the days when there were no computers or televisions, when all modern technology didn’t exist; society and life was utterly different. People depended on themselves and used all their common knowledge; people lived a simple, but efficient life. Not all technologies or innovations have had a positive impact on us. Technology negatively affects us by perpetuating the mindset of immediate satisfaction. The creation of various portable technological devices has slowly ingrained the idea of instant gratification. Cell Phones let us keep in touch at all times virtually anywhere, it has created a mindset of instant gratification and that whenever we want pleasure it should be put immediately in from of…

    Technology has been one, if not the greatest, discoveries of mankind. It gave us electronic gadgets and appliances that we use to make our lives easier. Every passing decade from 20th century until today, technology is becoming more advanced that we humans depend so much on these to an extent that we cannot live without them. But to really appreciate this great discovery, we have to imagine a world without technology. The question we should ask ourselves is that what would our lives be like without technology? One way to do this is to look back at the lives of humans before the invention of such technologies. The humans that lived long before us had to survive using the things that surrounded them, things they did not make. They hunted animals to eat, had no permanent shelter and lived as if they were animals too. We would definitely not be civilized and act and think like we are now. If we were to survive in that world, it’s either hunt or be hunted. One good side to this way of living is that life will not be that complicated as to what it is today. Life will be simple and humans will be more physically active.…

    What was life like back in the simpler times? Everyone can agree that life back then was extremely different from what it is today. There were no phones, or e-mail.

    But it seems like people depend on this technology too much. For example people almost cannot live without their mobile phones. We will not be able to be out of touch for even a few minutes. Another point is the Internet. Now any information is available to anyone who has a computer and an internet connection. However, there are a lot of bad things about the net – pornography, viruses, spam. It is much easier to steal important information or commit a crime. Companies could lose huge amounts of money because of cyber-crime. Moreover, failure of electronic appliances, for instance computer equipment, could lead to unpredictable consequences in business, and such fields as military forces and aviating.…

    Given the prevalence of technology in the majority of mass consumerism, society has grown accustom to its existence in everyday life utilizing the benefits that technology would have to offer. “In the past four decades technology has fundamentally altered our lives: from the way we work to how we communicate to how we fight wars.” (Al-Rodhan). Emerging technologies has made information readily available and tasks that were once too laborious are now done with a touch of a button. Consequently, some of these “benefits” become too irresistible, creating a very strong dependence for everyday tasks.…
