Why I Think Modern Technology Should Only Be Perceived As A Tool (And Should Therefore Not Become An Addiction)

(Edited)

Good afternoon from Romania, fellow HIVE users, technology enthusiasts as well as dear readers outside of HIVE! For today's first special post here on HIVE, I decided to write a bit about why I strongly think modern technology (more specifically the wide range of gadgets we have at our disposal nowadays) should only be perceived and used as a tool (or as mere tools, when referring to the totality of smart and interactive gadgets available to use nowadays such as iPhones or iPads or various other smartphones or tablets) in order to live a more meaningful, fulfilled, and human life!

Notice I mentioned the word human in the enumeration above and that was for a very good reason, that reason being interactive more with your family and friends instead of constantly being trapped by the monitor or touchscreen of your device.

Now don't get me wrong, these devices are amazing and they have fantastic functions which can be used for good purposes and thereby making our lives easier. However, being addicted to them in other ways is definitely not the way to go, so to put it.

My point here is the fact that several applications such as games on these devices should be enjoyed and played, but at a minimum, not forgetting as such about our day-to-day responsibilities or about our family and friends or even pets, if we have any.

In these regards, it is very important to find balance and to be guided by our inner compass when adjusting to digital adventures (so to say) in counterpart with our real life here on Earth. In other words, being more down right dull and down to Earth so as to be able to live easily, happily, and without the fear of not properly fulfilling our responsibilities in our daily lives, on both a personal and a professional level.

At the same time, using our mobile phones a lot will definitely forget about ourselves and what we have to do for our wellbeing! So my advice here is to pay an extra amount of attention on the real life and not so much on fleeting Facebook notifications, only if those are very important, of course.

Since it's truly important to relax from time to time as well, devices such as iPods or iPhones are excellent for playing or favourite music or favourite films, but we should also experience these great forms of entertainment at a relative minimum, especially in times when we need to be very active in our family or professional lives.

During our holidays however, we rock! I think that through hard work and a lot of patience we have by that time earned a well deserved right to listen to as much music on our smart devices as possible during our free time!

Thus, I tried to sketch a balanced overall perspective on the pros and cons of using modern gadgets while not forgetting about ourselves and our dear ones in the process. I truly hope you liked my opinion-based post here on my HIVE blog! All the best and God bless you!

Many blessings your way, all the best once again, much health, take care, stay safe, and, just as in the words of Ringo Starr, peace and love your way! Great peace and a lot of love your way, I might add! Have an excellent and most peaceful day along with your close/dear ones! Namaste and great peace your way once again! 😊🙏✌️☮️

Also, please don't forget to keep praying for Ukraine and its people! Much love, blessings, and peace to Ukraine and the Ukrainians as well! May the war stop very soon! 💛 💙 🇺🇦

P.S.: Thank you very much for all your support, readership, attention, precious time, appreciation, re-blogging, and feedback here on HIVE. 😊

Stay blessed, loved, well, and safe along with your family and friends! Cheers and please stay tuned for more amazing content on my HIVE blog! 😊

Whoever is directly controlling the V2K told me to kill myself.
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.


They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?

Dear @vikthor , I agree with you! By the way, Single people like me enjoy the time they spend alone mainly on the Internet and on their smartphones.😃

Sometimes, yes, I do tend to like it as well, but I also have to take care of other responsibilities in life, naturally. All the best, much health, take care, stay safe, and have a great day! 😊

In general, I think any addiction is pretty bad and technology is no different! That said, I believe it is alright to enjoy things, even for an extended amount of time - as long as you're able to stop when it is needed.
