At times, I think it’s pretty unbelievable how people these days live. It seems like the majority of us are hooked up on their gadgets, relying on those machines to be able to function daily. With all these technologies around us, things seem to be easier to do. Take for example, if you need to call friends or family living in another country, you have an iPhone for that. But wait! International calls do not have to be expensive these days, all you need is a wifi an an app that would even help you connect with them not only through voice call but also video call, yes, talking and seeing them is possible now. Can you imagine that 20 years back? In a grocery, if you are a bit unsure which you mom has asked you to buy, take a photo of a mechandise and message it to mom real-time, and your mom on the other device (who is probably sitting at home watching tv) can easily see it and simply text you back her reply! I find that cool!
But there is also a downside of it all. People seem to get lazier too. To be honest, I seldom see children playing on the streets anymore. Don’t kids need physical activities as well as brain activities their game gadgets give them? I seldom see children running after each other, laughing, or playing basketball, or hey, how about those kids from the past playing yo-yos?! Talking about yo-yo, I have a link for you that offers cool yo-yos, check it out -> yo yo factory…alright going back to us becoming lazy…
I wish parents, busy parents, still would push their children to get their physical activities outside their homes. Children need to socialize (not just on FB or twitter) need to play with their peers.Well, just my 2 cents, really.
