Are You A Slave Of Modern Technologies??

I would like to even exaggerate over the progress in technology regarding computers Today computers plays an important role in medical stream. Doctors carry out operations, Some test like sonography, MRI(Scanning of brain), etc

Hi ... rberon, I am using the modern technologies, which ever I can afford. Fom this I am benefitting and everybody exploiting whatever they can to save the time , money and for quick actions. From all these actions, we are exploiting the technology . Technology never exploits us. So I dont think that we are the slaves of the technology, rather we can say that we are addicted to the modern technologies. In a slavery, the slaves will be exploited by the master for their on advantages. Here we are exploiting the technology for our own advantages and we are the masters. Moreover echnology can not manipulae us, but we can manipulate technology. Really a good subject

I really do feel the same. With modern technology, we achieve our convenience. We make everything much easier, without going out of our houses. We simply type into the computer what we want, and what we want to do, and instantly, we get the result. That is the greatest advantage of modern technology. Maybe one day, we really become a slave to it.

hi, i am not a slave to modern technologies but i feel the necessities of it.lol

No,but seems to be sometime that we become slave of it.Like for example mobile is the become the most necessity of life.Due to it youngsters are not wearing watches.It acts like a part of our body.Even more modern tech things are around us,we using it but we didn't care it.

Don´t you think "slave" is a word too strong? i can say im keen on it, but that´s all. And if one day i had to stop, i could do it almost without hesitation. But beware, what you have said is true, modern tecnologies have the potential to almost put us its "slaves" since it is truly addicting. Anyway, i love to use modern tecnology, just like you and ancient tecnologies???they´re off...,

Yes, I really think so. Nowdays, with the technology develops and develops, there are so many developed modern techonologies around us and fill our daily life with modern elements. I neary cannot live without them and I cannot imagine what will my life be without them.

I remember the days of looking through card catalogs in the library, using the library to do research for papers in school, reading news in the newspaper, buying records and cassette tapes (and you only like a few songs on the while album), looking through my mom's encyclopedia set and having to get film developed (hoping the pictures come out right). Then there was the TV with no remote control and rabbit ears with the foil (cable for too expensive then). I also remember the trips down to the local video store and renting videos and even a VCR. So I truly appreciate modern technology. I get my songs from iTunes and play them on my iPod. I have a satellite dish and can pause live TV with my TIVO. I watch Blu Ray movies on my DVD player and get rental movies through the mail. Then there is the internet..it is my library and my newspaper. My way of connecting with friends and family. It entertains and educates. It is truly amazing. I don't know if I consider myself a slave to it. I do use it every day though, but sometimes think about when none of it was here. If it all went away I think I could adapt because I remember how I lived without it.

well i guess i am quiet addicted to internet now, earlier when i didn't have a computer i was better off doing a lot more things, but now this has become a big part of my life and am spending much more time on my computer than i should be and sometimes it can really get troublesome like when the exams come... so i can say that in one way or the other i am kinda a slave to internet, but at the same time is quiet helpful too, life without internet is very hard.

of course we are, look around you, internet, phone, computer, tv, movies, wahsing machine, aircont, what would we do if they are not around ?

hai mylotters everyone has become a slave to modern technologies as their day to day life depends on technologies.from day to dawn man depends on technologies for transportation,communication and other basic necessities of ones life.

Ya i agree..

I admit that I am a slave of modern technologies. I have gadgets I could think of such as i-pods, cellphones, laptops, personal computers and digital cameras. It is impossible for me not to even touch one of those things each day. These technologies helps us in a lot of ways such as being a source of entertainment, source of income, connecting with friends, etc. I believe that these technologies are already part of my life.

yes this is true, who among us doesnt use a mobile phone, or the most basic thing the tube light or fan. Do we still use candles or lamp stands? We just cannot live without the most essential technology 'The electricity'. Without this life is truely impossible

Good topic. The answer is YES!!! I do not use ancient technologies and I am a real slave of modern technology. I need to use a calculator in my mobile phone for doing simple calculations. I cannot remember dates. In the old times, people used to write it in a pocket diary; but I use my mobile phone's organizer to save the reminders and birthdays. I agree that these technologies help us to "live smart", but somewhere it comes to my mind that we are really slaves of modern times!!!

I think no, I am not a slave of modern technologies. Like doing household, I seldom use vaccum cleaner and floor polisher instead I use the regular ones anyway it's one way to exercise. I use the gas stove instead the electric stove and microwave. Because I can save a lot than using electric appliances. Happy mylotters!

I differ with you.Modern technologies are slaves for me.I use them to my help and they are not using me.Of course we feel bad if something stops working abruptly and worry for that.but that doesn't mean we are addicted to them.We can live without them if they are abolished.But I accept it will need some time to get adjusted.Yet we can't claim to be slaves of modern technology.Cheers!

hi pal....ofcourse im slave of modern technologies and also i cant forget ancient technologies...coz some ancient technologies also useful in this modern world...

my answer is yes, i am a slave to technologies. modern tachnologies help me in many ways and i can't imagine lifr without them. try imagine life where there is no tv,computer,mobile phone or even lights. we have been heavily relying on such technologies. anybody who is reading my post now, i suppose u are almost a slave of modern technology as u are using a computer, internet and i bet that the lights of ur house are on:)
