Hasn't our life become too dependent on our gadgets. There was a time when the only real gadget i relied upon was my alarm clock, that too would become more of a formality once my bio-clock got adjusted to the timings. Now, we our morning begins when the Iphone rings, the TV opens up our favorite channel while the digital Geyser would have kept the water warm enough to suit our needs. Some read the newspaper on the large screen mobile using the 3G network or on the hand-held tablets (ipad or similar).
Our presence on the Internet is more than the time we spend meeting our friends face to face. Facebook is more visited than the school, temple, library or cafe. Our memories are no more in our albums kept in the cupboards safely but on the "Cloud" either in picassa, flickr or FB. Google, Facebook and Hotmail know more about us then we ourselves...What if one day they all plot against us???
No i am not paranoid, but i am worried and concerned about our over dependence and misuse and abuse of technology....
Check out these two small software bugs that had really huge impact on people's lives..
1 - Hotmail loses ur emails
2 - Iphone screws up yet again with Time and Alarms
Ain't it time for us to look back and control and properly decide how much of net presence is good for us?
