all digital here

hi tigeraunt I cannnot wear an ordinary watch as I have too much static magnetic force in my body. a fancy watch stops and i get it repaired and wear it ten minutes and it stops. so I learned to wear a didgital watch and frankly I like it better as it tells the real time.i am all for digital things and do not think they hurt our brains at all as we can still use our brans so much they keep healthy.

Dear Anny We are getting dependent on them, and that is reason for our physical inactivity, earlier i used to wash clothes by hand, grind spices, rice using stone grinder manually, that needed lot of efforts, kind of auto exercises. my daughter in laws don't do, they seems to age faster than me.. Thank you so much for sharing HAPPY MOTHERS DAY Happy posting, cheers. Namastey. Kalyani

To be dependent on technology is nothing new... it goes all the way back to the caveman. If they didn't develop the arrow for hunting, we wouldn't be here. The age of discovery is another time in human evolution when people actually wrote stuff down and our knowledge was greatly increased. Interesting that knowledge comes in 2's. Aristotle and Plato, Newton and Kepler, Tesla and Edison, not to mention all the musical geniuses.... all seemingly popping up at the same time. Then you have the industrial revolution... machines helping make life easier (Whitney, Ford, [Edison & Tesla].... Now we are in the computer revolution and that brings on another shift in the way people do things. Now is this good/bad/indifferent.... If we know how to use a computer or how to use a calculator or how to use the device that will give us the same answer as what we would have rather gotten another way (counting on fingers... math on paper) then I don't see a problem in it. The other day the mixer went out when my wife was cooking and she had to mix the batter by hand... with a wooden spoon. It took her a lot longer but it got the job done. When it comes time that we can't be self-sufficient then it is time to evaluate where we are... if we can still use a wooden spoon but choose to use a mixer... we're OK. Thanks Zelo

Although I think the digital age is great and useful, it also hinders our activity. I remember when I was young, we had no computers or gadgets like today and when we played, we had to rely on our imagination. We used to run around, play ball, ride bikes a burn off all the energy. Today, there is almost no need to think and be active. I see kids that are over weight, I do not see them playing like we did. Also processed foods are part of the problem with weight. But, I do love and enjoy technology.
