We have lots of sources for enjoy the life but we are not happy

To me is just a matter of choice when we are together as family that is what we do no TV no internet no mobile is family time and the same goes with friends as well we love our time together and at the end of the day we know we have our internet friends!but our real[ you can see]friends are here for us in the real world.

Hi surekha I agree everyone has the same problem may be some have less while some have more. This TV and mobile phones have occupied the place in out life than anything else. I think No solution to this until we ourselves realize it and control ourselves from certain things.

I understand...Maybe technology is the reason we are "unhappy". Not everyone is unhappy, of course, but I know what you mean. Perhaps it's because we are all losing touch with the things in life that make us happy --- spending time with friends and family, getting outdoors, having hobbies besides Facebook (or even MyLot!). Maybe as a culture we are losing touch with the things that make us happy. This sounds like the start of a thesis for a college class or something -- it would be interesting to look into.

For the most part, I have to say that everyone in our family is happy. However I do have to admit that there are some times that technology has come in the way of our family and I do believe that is something that is true in all families. Living in the world that we live in today, I think everyone has access to technology and there are times that the access that we have to technology has significantly reduced the amount of conversations that we have with other people.

Hello, electronics devices means of enjoy of individuals but I think these are good for a familyas whole and I also feel that these are not good for individuals. In my childhood we have not all these but we were happy. We played lot of games without cost. These games keep us fit and healthy. At present every one is self centered. Who have any type of grievance at this time. Every one is busy and busy in him/her self. yes elders may be have grievance from their child.

I don't find such a problem with my family but I had seen this among my friends most of the times. Most of them used to message or needs me when I do something important and I can't connect at that time but I just used to connect them after my busy time. At those time they will be busy with something. Anyway we just used to find time and finally share everything.

I have been having a rough time with my health lately. I was ill for more than one week and now I feel ever so weak. Today I went out in my car and had to drive though huge puddles and then I came across busy traffic that was hardly moving at all. Back home now I feel bored and tired. I am on my laptop on fantastic My Lot. My kids are washing the TV and earlier they were looking at some books. I am worried my family will run out of food over the Christmas break. I will go food shopping at 8 in the morning tomorrow. I know later in the day it would be far too busy.

hi surekharathi I do nothave all the electronic gadgets as my funds are limited but I am on the computer a lot as my roomie is no company.All she wants to do is eleep all the time. Sshe takes pain pills for her sore knee and back and I think they are a bit too strong as she really does sleep most of the time so I cam on the computer mylotting a lot. I need company and it cannot be her.Burt I d o find it on mylot.She used to talk t o me before she started getting senile.So I guess inher own way she is happy.When my son visits me we share the company as he shows me some projects he has done on his computer and also we talk a lot as I only see him once a week, I am happy this way and so is he.I have visited friends who have their television on and they sit glued to the set like their lives depended on not missing one minute. Its hard to visit with a friend who prefers the TV to you. Then I just decide to leave quietly as I wanted to really visit with them. So I come here and visit with my mylot friends instead.

Fortunately, my family and friends do not let electronics rule their lives. We use technology for the convenience and services they offer which can make our lives easier, but no way, no how do we let them substitute or interfere in our real lives. I do not need nor even want to be 'connected' 24/7 nor do I feel the need to keep the world updated on what I'm doing, how I'm feeling, where I am every minute (no Facebook or Twitter for me). I turn the computer, the tab, the cell off or leave it behind. I enjoy my 'vacations' out in the real world without some gadget glued to my hand. I find 'real' life far more interesting and exciting than virtual ones. Most of the people I associate with feel the same way -- probably why we associate. The rest have been kicked to the 'virtual curb'.

We have a no tv, cell phone, phone calls, texts, or music policy when we have dinner, and when we watch a movie together we don't have any of these things going either.

I often hear my son complain and say "boring", especially when I turn off the television or ask him to turn off the computer. It is a common problem these days, it's as if without gadgets and other electronically operated entertainment devices, their world would stop spinning. Unlike before during my childhood years, we play outside and interact with friends which is more fun than sitting the whole time watching television or playing computer games. For me, this is some kind of a problem I deal with my son because his attention to his studies is sometimes overshadowed by his interest in computer.

its true we have alot to entertain us till we forget to be part of other people.in my house i try and make meal time,a bonding time by seating in the dining room where there is no Tv and we can all talk, i also avoid doing computer stuff when my kids or husband need me,i or my husband can go to the computer if the other one is engrossed in another activity,this way we avoid making the other feel left out.

if we can control our heart to pay more attention on things that not material, maybe we will be happier in our life.

We should keep a balance of every thing. Yes these new technologies have really given us a source of happiness but yet we have to be careful that the other person who is linked to us remains happy as well and this can only happen if we are giving proper time to every one but yes it is true, even my parents say that i am aways involved in my cell phone

Well,I don't have a girlfriend,but I do have parents who fights each other a lot.Technology can make sure human race live a more safety world ,which means the population growth rate are extraordinary high compared with old time.however,technology can not truly give us happiness unless people know caring about each other.I dear to say liveing isolated is not a old problem but carried out by modern people. And that is saaad!
