Technology and psychological problems

Technology and psychological problems
No doubt technology has served us a lot. It has turned our lives very easy to live. Nowadays we have luxurious cars,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], furnished houses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], comfortable furniture,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Air conditioners, heaters and biggest of them is Computer. See how common mobile phones have become. These all things were just a dream in the past and now they are a reality.
But if v see at the dark side of it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it also has some disadvantages. Like due to luxurious live, people have left doing exercise. Because of cars, V all travel in them and we are so habitual of them that v hesitate to walk just few kilometers. If we see our ancestors, they were enjoying a better health then us. Besides all these tech related things have also affected our attitudes. There are millions of people nowadays who cant sleep at night,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], V r becoming more and more anger oriented. There are many people (including me) who sleep while their mobiles under the pillow which is surely not a healthy trend.
Believe me, I am so addicted to text messaging that even when at night during my sleep I check my mobile several times to see if new text message has arrived and if one has arrived I leave my sleep and I become busy in replying to that text message
Our priorities are also changing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Respect for elders and parents is becoming low.
no doubt without technology,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], today's human being cannot live even a single second. V all r addicted 2 it. When I consider the live without internet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], computers, cars, mobiles I become scared.
Bill Gates also said once "Those times were great when Blackberry and Apple were the names of fruits just"
What is your opinion on this topic?
I too am amongst the minority. About 15 years ago I started to exercise, by leaving my car at home and taking the company bus into work. Meant an uphill walk to the meeting point that took me about 10 minutes at first but later was only taking 5!
that was when I re-found my feet and started to walk places,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like Athens town Centre about 5Km away. Takes about an hour to get there. When being sent away on business I would use my feet to travel everywhere, whenever I could!
3 years ago I found a new job, that would have taken me about 45 minutes to an hour to reach by public transport. Walking it took me 35 minutes. From the time that I went to the interview until the end of last June I walked that 3.5 km every day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there and back except the few occasions that I found that I just had to take public transport.
Last June I decided to get back to using wheels, bicycle wheels! takes about 15 - 20 minutes to do the same journey. Bit tough getting up the hills but I found the long slow routes, easier on the old aging muscles. When, as now, I find that I have overdone the excercise and my back is telling me to go carefully, I switch back to walking. What's even better is that I also swapped my shoulder bag for a backpack! Far easier to walk or ride with it and leaves the hands free.
The only complaint I have about automation and computing is that quality seems to be suffering whilst unemployment is rising dramatically. Whole factories are now left to the control of a handful of people. I also feel that design, once tried and tested before going on sale, now tends to build, sell repair/modify/buy new! When I was young , I "inherited" clothing shoes from my elder brother, he got his either new or cast offs from someone else in the family. What i didn't wear out, was passed on to my younger brother! Shoes were repaired rather than thrown away. Shoes these days are worn out before we get a chance to wear them! Especially where I am concerned! I feel quite happy (because I am cycling) that a pair of shoes has lasted since early last year. when walking I found that a new pair of shoes might be worn out within a week to maximum 3 months. The outside would be fine but a large hole would appear where my heel would pound the inside of the shoe, sometimes causing really bad sores before I could afford to get another pair. Shoes are not made to last. Womens clothing is designed to last mo more than a season for whoever wants to "stay in fashion".
Waste is rife and its said that only 1% (of products sold) actually stay in use during any year, the rest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the other 99% ends up on the rubbish tip! we are the wasteful throwaway society!!
I'm all for technology,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I get 'disappointed' with Society's attitude towards having to have the latest updated gadget,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], purely for the sake of owning it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rather than actually needing it.
OK to an extent, the market is driving the technology forwards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but at what cost to society? Everything now comes with built-in disposable lifetimes whereas, as D_F says, years ago we repaired and 'made do' with things.
Most of my early career involved electronics repairs, TV's radios, stereos etc. and that was when they had valves (tubes) in them Nowadays, it's cheaper to just throw it away and buy another one with more gizmos attached.
