LIFE FULL OF HAPPINESS AND QUALITY


The Art of Living the Modern Life & WEB (INTERNET)
In the 60s when the first intranet was in launch to connect the knowledge bases or libraries to share hands on information between two points of information. Nobody had a clue that it will become what we have The Internet or the Web we see in present. With the time has shrunk so is the distance also. It has changed the whole idea of being connected and in touch with people who we love and care. The complete transformation of life style in the present Era has been evoluted to the level that man has never imagined. The means of making money and livelihood has been changed by 360 angel in our life. 

Being socially active while stayin in one cubic has never been in human mind. The Concept of staying connected on moment to moment basis with the touch of our hand was not even in our dreams. Most of my friends who never were a huge fan of computers are using Net and littrarly in addiction now. Updating their status, sending messages and getting hands on information about their interests is just a touch away on their hand held. 

I remember I met an old Guy Simon in London and his views about not using the mobile phone ! made me curious about his concept of life in this modern age. Simon was an old British guy with very charming personality and smile on his face being in late 60s was not his worry. He was in Total in control of his life WITHOUT having a mobile in his life. He was never bothered to keep one. While Iphone was on its peak in 2007, I have seen ques and camps outside the Apple store at Oxford street. And there I met Simon who is totally living on Landlines and payphones and he never felt in need to get one Mobile ? 

I on the other hand want to tell simon and want to sell him my idea of keeping mobile even in case of emergency or getting to know the latest score of Foot Ball about his favourite Team. He was fully convinced and happy with his conventional life. He had all the answers of my curiosity when I  asked him with my reasons. Then out of many questions I asked him what is his primary reason of not keeping a mobile phone. He goes I dont Need It coz I can not sell my privacy and freedom to buy a Mobile. 

Further more he said that where ever he needs he has land line in his reach at work, at home on the road so why to have an extra commodity and destroy my life and my privacy.

Simon was right in his view and life style he has seen this technology of Cell or Mobile as nuisance. He seen it as a reason to destroy his primacy. In some what way, it seems true though. We have been so addictive to modern technology that we really missing the true happiness that we could get from the quality time without all these gadgets around us. I have heard that people are going Green at minimum what they do is dedicate one day when they don't use mobiles or handheld.They use they workstations just for work not for socialising on that particular day. In a discussion with one of friends who are practising this in their organisation said that it really calms them down. No mobiles no intrusion of any kind from outer world. On that one day they just spend time in person with their friends, family or on their own by reading book or going on a ride. Imagine if we know how to control all the technology rather than technology controlling us ! the happiness that fills that space is wroth experiencing. At least once a week we all should try and see how Simon is living his life with less techno liability.
