How has technology addiction effected your life?

1 Answer

Answer :

Sometimes I think that addiction isn’t real, it is just a state of mind, or diagnose, to just a “shameful and taboo behaviour”. But this thought has many flaws and I need some time to think it over before I write my thesis on it :) Anyhoo, I might be addicted to technology since I use it every day. And I like using it. Some of us here do remember the days when there were no mobile phones, mp3 players and personal computers and somehow we managed to lead a perfectly good life anyway. As a teacher I am often asking my young students if they can imagine a life without their mobile phones and they refuse even to imagine it. Perhaps this is the technology addiction we’re talking about – when technology has become such a great part of our lives, we even can’t imagine living without it? But what if we start to embrace the fact that technology is such a great part of our lives and live with it? Is it still an addiction? Or simply, the way of life evolving? Interesting thought…need to think about this too…(arrrgh, so many thesises to write!) I think I am calling my addiction as my new hobby. I can live without it, but I don’t want to because I am interested in technology and I like to follow the development. Better stop…lost the red thread somewhere…:)
