Many of us may fail to realize the important role that electronics play in our daily lives. In fact, the invention of such electronic gadgets has somehow made our lives easier. It is just that with us being very busy going through the day with a lot of things on our mind and with work to take care of, we often fail to take notice and appreciate how convenient everything has become because of these consumer electronic goods.
Take a good look at your day and you will find quite a number of gadgets, machines and appliances that in one way have electronic parts in them. You are awakened by your electronic time clock in order that you won’t be late for your work. You hurriedly heat your left over from last night on your microwave oven for your breakfast. Since you still have some time, you eat breakfast while you turn on your television to watch the morning news. After which you gather the things you need to bring with you and you open your PDA to check on your daily schedule. You get you car keys and you drive in your car to work. On the way to the office you listen to some music by turning on the radio or putting on your favorite CD on you CD player. If you are the more technological driven type you bring along with you an MP3 player or an IPod. You get to your building and take a ride on the elevator while receiving a very important client call on your mobile phone. You get to your office and you turn on your computer to check your email as well as to make your report for that afternoon’s meeting. From these set of activities alone, one can see how electronics play a special and helpful role in our lives.
Electronics are used everywhere from the home, at work, in the government even for travel around the world and in outer space most importantly. Quite often we only realize their value in our lives when an electronic gadget gets damaged or when we experience a power failure for some time when everything seems to set in that without electricity and these gadgets we cannot do anything at all.
As more and more current inventions and electronic gadgets are flooding the market, each and everyone should learn to appreciate the convenience that these have offered to our daily lives. Who knows what they would think of next in the near future.

Do you think electronics/technology is ruining our lives?
Sure it’s convenient, but do any of you think that it ruins how to properly socialize with people. Also it’s bad for the environment….What are your thoughts?

Absolutely its ruining our most part of the day , numerous days in our life.

Yes, our children are becoming addicted to computers and don’t feel the need to socialize in real person anymore - it’s all right there on their computer screens - facebook, IM, email, scype, etc….either that or it is completely redefining our understanding of "properly socialized." Environmentally, well I guess in terms of energy usage and landfill space, it is bad for the environment.

I defintely suspect so. The PC has ruined me for reading books. There is also something intrinsically illusory about possessing inumerable remotes to command minor actions like turning something on or off. These require keeping track of and battery service ( trip to the store?)
As a first time PC owner it suddenly occurred to me that if I moved and wanted not to transport the desktop I would have to somehow tranfser the data to a laptop–a substantial time and learning investment. The same goes for clearing a hard drive if selling or disposing.
These are minor examples where we become enslaved to technology. And what do we really get in return? It makes isolation more bearable is about all I can see.
Meeting people online? Might work in the meaty curve of LA dating but anyone who is in the least bit different isn’t going to fit. Resort to categories, like Veggie, Agnostic, loves animals?–better by far to be dead, I think.

It’s hard to answer that great question.
I think both sides has it’s arguments. It does ruin certain parts of our lives such us socializing, physical health, and less time to think of things. Hundreds of years ago, many people had time to think without any distractions which allowed them to invent the great human creations we have today.
BUT
Technology does help in a lot of things. Scientists definitely have their work easier for them with great high-tech stuff.

I don’t trust people as much. When you see online profiles and videos, you learn too much about people. You realize that social problems are widespread in most communities. Newspapers and TV present people in a respectable manner. They make unpleasant problems like racism seem minor. The Internet shows people for what they really are.

Its fair to say youth are lacking people skills because they are behind the computer more.
But the opposite can be said that they are far more advanced than the older generation because they have adapted to the new age and the oldies have been left in the past because of their lack of knowledge in the information technology world.
If computers are the future the youth has to adap. The youth has done that.
Why send a letter by boat, to the other side of the world which would take weeks if not months to get there.
When u can just send an email and u get the message there in a few seconds.
