Paradox Technology
Technology Paradox
Hem Raj Bhatt
In
society most households have clock, phones, and TV in almost every room. Our schedules are now demarcated by minutes instead of hours; many of us suffer from stress and constantly complain that we don’t have enough time to do every thing we want to do.
The complaint appears
Paradoxical because we know there has been an almost exponential development in technology. As technology expedites our tasks, and even our transportation gets us where we need to be more quickly. Still we have less time then ever to spend leisurely, and I would like to argue that this problem is not because of technology, but rather, because technology has created more pursuits and we people are subject to a basic ethical drive for
“more”.
Most of us get caught up in a schedule of going to work each day, coming home late, then taking care of mundane details before falling into the bed only to get up early the next day to continue the routine.
In metropolitan society both parent work fulltime, so are busy working through out the week, which leaves them only the weekends to take care of households. As a result, many parents feel ostracized from their children because they don’t have the time or energy to spend with their kids.
Some people suffer from chronic stress because of their busy schedule.
What little free time people do have, they spend on the phone, in front of TV, or on the computer. People can wile away hours in front of TV, and not come away feeling relaxed because they have spent that entire time keeping up with the constant flash of image, storing information about characters, plots themes product and other aspects of the media and all with out realizing that they are doing so.
The influx of media is just one element of the reason why people don’t have enough time.
Some time we feel easier to sit down in front of TV that it is to take the time
