Technology. Technology. technology. We are seeing the influence and spreading empire of Technology everywhere. Automated Industrial systems, spread of mobile devices, spread of Internet and IOT enabled(Internet of Things- or connected machines on a Network, who can "Talk" to each other).
We have chatbots, and robots. We have 3 D printing.
Mobile phones, websites and all kinds of media systems- even connected cars seem to be gripping people.
One can even see people talking on mobiles or chatting when walking, or even driving and even at offices.

What do you feel about yourself- does technology keeps a vice like grip on you, or do you still control how much time will you devote to the techie things, and when will you be away from Tech heavy stuff, and may be exercise, walk or be with nature?

It is true we can we can't deny the dominance of technology. I appreciate its existence, as I find it practical. To answer your question: I am still able to enjoy the beauties of nature. I still prefer to be outdoors enjoying the air, observing the birds, swimming in the ocean, talking to people - all that clean stuff. I rely on technology but I don't allow it to have a grip on me like that. I work with it when necessary (which is often) but I can also abandon it like I never knew it How about you @ptrikha21? Do you maintain a balance?

Yes, I agree with your views and unfortunately today in rural India is also under its influence! Certain things are definitely for good like banking, ticketing, paying bills, online purchasing etc., which are inevitable. But then some other things like entertainment that includes youtube, gaming etc can be kept under control. Thanks!

I think I am in control. I know where to draw a line. I use technology for things that make my life convenient but at the same time I make sure that it does not interfere with the quality of my life. I should not get addicted to it.
