High tech: good or evil
Our life is impossible without modern conveniences. This statement is true and banal at the same time. We use home appliances and don't even think about their role in our everyday life. They facilitate our existence very much but we are so accustomed to them, that don't notice their importance and take them for granted. Just a century ago life was different and much more difficult. Imagine a person from the past visiting our time. It would be very nice to follow his reaction. All necessary and irreplaceable items we use today seemed unreal one hundred years ago. People didn't even have electricity in their homes. They used candles and paraffin lamps in the evening to see in the dark. It was the only type of light source by that time and it was also the only home appliance, which people used in their households.
Can you imagine yourself in this environment? We are people of a new era of technological progress and this progress has changed us greatly and determined all our habits, hobbies and occupations. If we are accustomed to modern high-technology style of life, we can't survive in conditions, which were in the beginning of the last century, to say nothing about earlier times.
However, there are people, who feel nostalgic for those past days. At that time people lived their measured life, didn't fuss and were healthier in general. They didn't have to hurry and they had more time to think about eternal verities. People were closer to nature and had more harmonious relationships with each other. Reading these words, you are unintentionally imbued with admiration towards this time. The fact that increasingly more people idealize past times, where there were no traffic jams, air pollution, mobile phones, etc. prompts us that mankind in whole and some its representatives in particular appeared to be unready to all innovations of the past century, to say nothing about the beginning of the new one.
Some people are so tired of life that they are ready to give up thoughtlessly all the advantages of our modern life for the sake of calmness and unhurried style of life. If they were proposed to move to past times, they would agree at once, as their choice is absolutely conscious. And what about you? Are you satisfied with modern life? What do you prefer: unhurried but physically difficult way of life or our modern living with all its strain and tension?
If you want to make it clear, welcome to our site. Here we will talk about high-tech innovations, which really facilitate our every-day life, but at the same time cause invisible harm to our health and contribute to our constant feeling unwell. We will consider those things, which surround us at home, on-site and out-of-doors. Together we will try to determine whether we should be grateful to our fate for having been born these days of scientific and technical progress or we should treat it as a severe trial or karmic punishment. We will try to determine advantages and disadvantages of modern way of life and consider all risks, which it can expose us to.
