Worse. Our ancestors use to live a simple life then technology started entering our life first it was electricity and with it lots of gadgets enter our life. Mobile Phone: Anyone can contact us whenever they want. Although it is good but sometimes very irritating and many times we also starts to lie on the phone. Radiation is also one of the disadvantages of it. Internet: Very seductive and many of the new generation is getting spoiled in it. Virtual world is getting popular on Internet and very soon a time will come when people who are losers in real life will try to win in virtual life and thereby will run away from their main problems and will start to live in a virtual world. And the list continues. Man created Technology so that his life would be of ease but in reality today men are working more and resting less then their ancestors who use to live a technology free life.

All I can say is that there is one simple solution. Self control. Anytime one becomes "addicted" to something...whether it be physical or a dependency on technology..the answer is to stop the use/dependency of that object. I am not saying turn off your gadgets and start reading books. Just put things into perspective and set priorities for your life. We don't have to become slaves of anything. We allow it to happen because we don't take control of our own lives.

Thanks for your comment. I agree with you that we need to be in control of your life but what about other disadvantages like global warming, cutting down the trees and diminishing wild life which will affect us no matter what even if we stay in control of our life or not.
