People think that in this technological era their life has become easy. The reason is that the work which they used to do in one hour could be completed in five minutes with the help of technology. But we are going to see how life without technology is easier. People choose to use technology in order to reduce their efforts and get more peace and relaxation in their life, but the reality is something else. If you go and try to understand further, you would get to know how this technological time is making your life more puzzling and causing delays. We are going to present two points which will prove how life without technology is more easy.

Mind Diversion

In this digital era, we are having so many social media platforms. People use social media in order to get connected to their friends, family, and known people. But it becomes a difficult thing when our mind diverts very fast from one thing to another. On one of the social media platforms, you could continuously see the activity of your friends and other videos while scrolling down. So you change it quickly and see another. After a while, you have so many things in your mind because you have gone through many activities with your friends. Naturally, it’s difficult to focus your mind on a particular thing. When there are so many things in your mind at a particular time, it becomes a mess in your mind. This could be a reason for many mental diseases.

Similarly, there is another app which shows the list of your friends. You could see their display picture and status in addition to communicating with them. While you check out their pictures, your mind quickly jumps from one to another within a couple of minutes. It becomes a mess of friends within your mind because you have gone through so many friends in a short span of time. That’s when you think that life without technology is easier. These are only two examples; there are many social media platforms today.

I don’t say that there is no use of social media. Social media is perfect when we use it in the way it should be used. When we are fully aware of our purpose why we need to use social media then we just stick to our target. Once we checked what we were supposed to check, we just got out of social media. If you have such control over yourself, then it’s perfect to use. Otherwise, it could make your life difficult, and you would be forced to think that why don’t I have a life without technology. Instead, consider engaging in meaningful activities like exploring

jigsaw puzzles or other analog hobbies that help you focus your mind on a single task without digital distractions.

More Technology , More Problems

Why do we say more technology, more problems? It’s quite simple and practical. Take any technological product or service. We have to take a lot of care to ensure that it works smoothly for a long time. What happens when it gets out of order? There are a couple of possibilities. First, you have to pay someone to repair it. Second, your life without technology would become more difficult for a particular time because you’re in the habit of it. But now you have to get back to your old method of doing things. Even there are hidden problems with the technology which you never know, and sometimes you know but you couldn’t do anything about it. To make these all points clear, let me give an example.

For example, let’s take a washing machine. You have to make some efforts to ensure its smooth working. You have to wipe out the washing machine from inside and outside after using it to make sure that it doesn’t get rust and other defects. If you are using a washing machine in any remote area where there is no access to company service and your washing machine gets out of order, then you have to do lots of efforts to find a good engineer and to find spare parts.

There are some hidden problems available as well with technology. For instance, radiation and magnetic rays are present in many of the technological products. Most of the time, we are aware of it. Therefore, whenever we use such technology for the comfort of our life, we have to take care of such things and we have to use it in the way it should be used. This is why many people find peace in simple, technology-free creative pursuits like sketching in a sketchbook, which provides relaxation without maintenance worries or hidden health concerns.

Concluding Part

There are always two sides of everything. In this blog, I only presented the cons of technology, how it could make life difficult for us or how life without technology is more easy. But it doesn’t mean that technology doesn’t have a positive side. There are many positive sides to it, which motivates us to buy that product or service or to go for that technology to make our life easier and happy. My intention is never to stop using technology. I only want you to bring some power of control in your life to make technology work for you. I don’t want it to destroy you.

Those who are having technology in their life must know how to use it to get the best result out of it. Those who are not having or using technology shouldn’t feel bad about why they don’t have the technology. When you feel such emotions, you get demotivated. Instead, you must feel that life without technology is easier and feel happy that it’s good that you don’t have technology. After all, our prime motive in life is to live happily. So the best way, in whatever situation we are in, we must find chances to get self-motivation.
