Technology - Virtue and Vice

Texting, chatting, surfing, double-checking. The one thing everyone is given equally is time. Time that can be used in building relationships, improving, and furthering a cause, all of which are enhanced by technology. Time is also used in aimless double-checking facebook, surfing randomly across the net, chatting meaninglessly with acquaintances, and texting instead of building friendships in person. Technology here acts almost as a hinderance. All of us must be aware of where our time is siphoning off to, and consciously direct that flow to avoid wasting our potential and finishing life in regret.

  1. True, I think that as technology offers new ways to do things, it is our choice that determines to use the technology for the right purposes, or for the wrong ones like to waste our time away.

  2. Time is allotted evenly for all. Great thought.

  3. Technology may be an enabler to time wasting but I don't think that it is the cause. Lack of self control and motivation are the true cause of laziness.
