…the dinner with family, …

I think you`ll have to forego that in the interest of compression of knowledge from generation to generation. After all, what and how much would your kid learn from the people around the table? And in how much time?

zeem i m not denying the fact that technology is not important..but rather i m focusing more on the part of misuse of it and unnecessary use of it. i do agree with the point of learning..but like i said in the article..will kid learn more from the ppl around him or frm a PSP wile he is locked in his room..wat abt street smart and book smart?

These are really provoking aspects of technology all around us as you have mentioned in a brief way in your article, which indeed have already changed the whole norms of our daily lives. We are now truly living in a digital age, which was fabricated just decades before in Hollywood movies. There’s no doubt about all the blessing brought by this digital age and the way technology is making our lives easier day by day, bringing convenience and assistance in every possible way. But we can’t just over look the other side of mirror or it’s probably because societies now are so much indulged into these gifts of technology and people nowadays as Fozan mentioned are so obsessed with these high tech gifts that it seems like people are losing the real essence of relationships…thanks a lot for bringing up this!

Your comprehensive study is indeed impressive and I fully agree with your point of view. Every entity has its pros and cons but the evaluation that you have conducted summerizes the problems that may evolve with the lapse of time. The basic rule that every individual must keep in mind is that ``absolute power curropts absolutely`` hence we should never show extreme dependency on any thing besides our faith as it can never have a positive impact on our life! Good job Fozan:)Hope to read more articles from you
