Whenever the term AI comes to light; it becomes very obvious that everything is about technology, in fact advanced Technology, right? We all are well aware of this term and started imagining our fascinated future with technology.
Fascination of Technology
Yeah, you heard me right, “Fascination of Technology”, this sounds much better to my ears instead of ‘Advanced Technology, Machine Learning, etc.
Technology has become the mother nature of most people on this globe. People started forgetting about normal life because of this fascination.
Because owning technology is very different from having a “fascination with technology,” and I would argue that it is not really the mistake of the people who become hooked to it.
If you look up the most recent technological developments then you will be astounded to see how humanity has been forgotten in the name of science, technology, and so-called future security
Concept of Technology or So called technology
This concept has never made sense to me because, as far as I know, it was created to assist people rather than the other way around.
Although, we can not deny the fact also that technology has helped mankind in many ways. But at the same time it has sawn negative aspects also and very frequently.
You might remember the general science definition since school ‘Science is a good servant but a bad master‘.
So somewhere somehow it has become the master of human brains and reduces productivity as well as the activity levels.
And that’s why the term “Digital detox” came to light.
I am not against any technology but I am concerned about humanity.
People have become lazy as technology is there to do their jobs and they keep relying on technology for as many as they can.
Nowadays, it has become “Infatuation over fascination”, which is a point to be concerned about.
You can not live without technology because it has become a necessity of day to day.
For instance; mobile phone- every second person on this earth using mobile phones. But some are using it 24*7 and they have got addicted to it, and that needs to work on.
Let’s understand the living a healthy lifestyle even after using technology
Healthy life-style with technology
Having a healthy lifestyle with technology doesn’t include several technology platforms.
It means try to use as little technology as possible.
- Do not addicted to your mobile phone
Mobile phone addiction has risen very frequently since the pandemic and many people have this issue, even I was also affected with this.
But now I understand that it is just for making calls for my convenience not vice-versa and I reduce the usage of it.
If I can do that then you can also do that. Just give it a try and it will change your perspective towards life.
- Reduce your screen time
Screen time means mobile, laptop, tv, etcetera.
Now, you can involve any kind of game in your life without screen means offline.
Research says, sports activity brings a huge change in anybody’s life.
So, give it a try. I play badminton, basketball in my routine which helps me to get rid of excess screen time.
- Add more physical activity instead of taping on screen
Adding more physical activity means going outside towards the market to purchase something required instead of tapping on screen to make an order/purchase.
This strategy will enhance the ability to avoid the screen time.
- Make reading your habit but offline content
Reading is a good habit. It doesn’t matter in which language you are reading, because the ultimate result is about getting deep into the content world.
- Have a habit of doing workout and meditation
Meditation and workout should be a routine in your life.
No matter what you are doing or what you have been doing. Because now is the time to change the things to live a life not just living an exhausted life with technology where there is no room to escape if you want to.
Summing Up
At last I would like to say that ‘there is no harm using technology or AI or advanced technology but the only issue is ‘Do not dare to forget about who you are?
You are a unique living creature on this planet called earth and you are not here to consume technology only.
Instead, “Technology is just a part of your life , it is not life”.
