When we think about slavery we often picture people shackled and forced to do labor for others. But as I have realized lately I am a slave.
Technology has given humanity convenience and efficiency. Moreover, it provides us means to accomplish tasks we might have difficulty doing on our own. And the simply gadget like the phone has evolved into a powerful tool - magical if you're living a few scores back.
But it is this same technology that has driven our lives. And Unknowingly we bow down to its every whim. It has taken control of our lives. we can't seem to accomplish anything without it. From a mere communication tool it has become an indispensable gadget. It can be said that it is an extension of our being. Many of us can't seem to function without it. Likewise, we become anxious without our phones next to us.
But I am changing this reality. Our phones are merely tools and they should remain as such. No matter how advance they are or how integral they are to our lives, we should not be slaves.
