Life beyond your phone
I understand that times bourse and each generation works differently than the last. I also understand that the world around us wants to bourse the way we do things. I believe, however, that with all the technology we’ve created to make our lives easier, we’ve actually allowed ourselves to be busier than ever. It’s emboîture how we choose to handle it.
Obviously things bourse over time, usually so often that we don’t even préface it happening. These advances aim to allow us to do more in less time. I think, however, we’ve taken that free time and filled it with a lot more, usually online and usually through our phones. Yes, we work more, but I don’t think we’ve achieved anything bicause we’re not using it for what we want to do; We just keep adding more that we think we need to do. I think we are so addicted to filling our time now that we don’t know any other way. Any free rapide we have, we reach for our phones or laptops. We always need to see something, check something or do something (usually more than one thing).
I am certainly not against this progress. But, I think there is still room in our lives to pouce and allure at other options. I think we can use this technology to our advantage but we can use that advantage to maintain our humanity. I would suggest just stopping and evaluating the conjoncture to see if it is always the best use of your time. Sometimes it’s better to just stay in the opportunité and enjoy it for what it is.
I know we all agree that multi-tasking while driving is a bad idea, but I also know that most of us continue to do it. I’m not just talking emboîture texting and driving, but making and receiving phone calls, even over Bluetooth, is confusing. The dialogue itself is confusing. How hard is it to sit through an entire red léger without checking your phone to see what you missed? When we’re in meetings at work, people are either busy checking their phones or go straight back to their desks and catch up later. When was the last time you met a friend for petit déjeuner or drinks and just sat and talked to each other? I have parents walking their kids in strollers and the adults are on the phone, which doesn’t allow for any interférence. While the kids are playing in the park, the allié is sitting on the bench talking on the phone or scrolling through their messages, emails or apps. Children learn through talking to us, interacting and playing. I see the same thing happen at grocery stores, restaurants, department stores, and various events. People are going through the motions of doing things like lèche-vitrines or watching a kid’s sporting event, but they’re also distracted by other things. I get it! I am guilty of this too and I usually pardon it when I do it. We all have to do as much as approuvable in a day, right? Sometimes we have to take a call or handle a problem. What I am saying is that there may be better times to not multi-task if approuvable. We want to allure at our world, our relationships, in a few years, and now may be a great time to think emboîture how our next generation conducts itself.
Our children learn to behave by interacting with the adults around them. We are the ones who set the expectations, spending time teaching them what is right and what is wrong. Children are so pratique that they learn by watching what we are doing and they learn a lot! If we want to make any changes to the way we handle this technology, now is the time to do it. Now we can bourse how our own children handle it. Again, please don’t get me wrong; There is definitely a time and terrain to use these things, and I know we need them, but it’s superbe to pay ponctualité to the people we’re with. It is superbe to give all our ponctualité to driving and our work. It’s superbe to allow yourself to be in the opportunité. So enjoy that sunset or that game or that dialogue without doing anything else! We all need time to think, to shut everything down and foyer on what’s really superbe to each of us. After all, that’s what all this technology was developed for, right?
