Today I sit at home, watching netflix and wonder to myself, why?
I actually miss waiting a day to a week for the next episode. I don't want to be one of those "back in my day" bloggers but i think its going to happen. Because back in my day, we'd watch a couple of our favourite episodes and then play outside. Now people, including myself, sit and watch an entire series in one sitting.
I dont mind some of the benefits technology has done for us, reconnecting with old friends, making it easier for research, students and jobs. I just wish it wasnt so addicting. Why is it so addicting? Playing outside, going out and actually talking to real people was so much more fun. Now, even when people go outside they are glued to their phones. Its sad looking around at a restaurant seeing families not connecting any more. They sit texting on their phones. Maybe places should ban phone use during visiting the facility. But thatll never happen.
Do you agree with kids having a smart phone? Is it really a good idea? Or were we scared into buying these products to keep connected by the media? Crime has always happened, phones or not. Does a 10yr old really need a $600 device to facebook and text on, causing them to lose touch with their families at an early age? Some parents absolutely love the idea and some disagree. Im in the middle. Kids need balance, and letting electronics babysit isnt a healthy balance. But again, these are my opinions and rants. Im not judging any parents on raising kids and im not giving advice. Im just asking and giving my opinion.
I remember when passing notes in class wasnt acceptable and now everyone is sitting at their desk with their heads down texting instead of paying attention.
I love my phone and i use it often, i do miss not being glued to it though. I try to tell my boyfriend no phones during dinner, i think its reasonable. Lol.
Well thats one of my technology rants, there probably is more to come some day.
Thanks for reading! :)
