Each time I am not with my phone, I always feel disturbed, like something very important has been away from me, therefore, i should quickly go and get it back. Sometimes, when i charge my phone, i do get notifications prompting me to do a task with it.
But, i wouldn't want to go touch it, I will let it to be charging, because that time was for charging, and if i want to consider how many notifications comes in, and when it does, that means, the phone will change my daily plans, because notifications will always comes, at any time.
This morning, I saw a CD plate in the house, it was used by me few years ago, in practicing music production, some are softwares, and some are my released songs, i still have the songs on the CD plates, then, when i insert the CD on a computer, I found out that they works, and play the song's very well.
Going back to those day's when most things were in manual form, and this CD was a manual object, from that time till now, I think this object wouldn't be working anymore, because it has been many years since i make used of them, moreso, they were moved from where i kept them by rats. yet, because of how good are technology objects, they still served their purpose until today.
Speaking about phone. It's not that long as well, since i starts to used phone, yet, it always looks like, i have been doing it for hundreds of years. why does it feels like that?, the reason is because, i tend to believe that everything i want is there, on the phone, also, i give more of my thoughts to the phone.
The deal is, I do not remember how come of this mindset of believing that i can get whatever i want on the phone. On "X" Twitter, I saw a meme going round the space, about a family, and on the photo, every member of the family were focusing on their phones.
At some point, I was thinking if they are seeing themselves as one family in the space they are, "and that will be, if they are at the same social platform at that moment".
Technology is good, it brings easiness and wellness to life, but in life, too much of one activity is not all that good, we as well need to draw that line of how we used any device we want to.
Without that line, we will be consumed by device's, and that as well might affect our overall effort in life.
Talking about myself, i have a timetable for every activities i do, including the hours I am to used a phone, or any other technology device.
Yet, i didn't understand drawing that line in those early days, when i was getting involved with technology, I realized it after a while of seeing that phones were taken most of my time, although I get something meaningful from using it, yet it wasn't a good thing as such to get involved 24/7.
In recent day's, many people's, especially family, has the understanding of drawing out this line's, and the way I see it, I think it helps, and will show to us that, in life, we do not need to be consumed by anything, but we need to balance our activities.
