What technology would you be better off without, why?

Technologies are all good, but  over use is the problem. Excess of anything is bad, and Today social  media is  ruining the relationships in a way, which the creators of  tech never envisaged.

“Warmth of a hug.                                          Joy of  meeting in person.                                   Sipping  coffee with a friend.                   Laughing together.       

Wipping a tear of saddness                                              

Sharing a meal                                                     Just  dropping in                                          Once a norm                                                     Today endangered

Hope we wake up before excessive use of Technology destroys the social fabric

  1. This post hits harder than my phone when it slips out of my hand and lands face-down—pure panic and a little self-reflection. It’s wild how we’ve turned into creatures who can text 100 words per minute but forget how to make eye contact without feeling like we’re defusing a bomb.

    You’re so right—technology isn’t evil; it’s just that we treat our phones like VIP guests while real humans sit at the table like forgotten side dishes. It’s like inviting your best friend over for dinner but spending the whole time chatting with the toaster. Sure, it’s shiny, but it’s not going to laugh at your dad jokes.

    Hugs, laughs, and those messy, in-person moments? They’re like Wi-Fi for the soul—except they don’t randomly disconnect when you’re in the middle of something important. This post is a great reminder to sometimes put the phone down, look someone in the eye (without the awkward blinking contest), and actually be there.

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to awkwardly wave at my neighbor… in real life.
