Technology addiction is bad, but it's hard to control something fun
I found it interesting to play on the internet for the first time, back in 2003. At the time, my children were still small and I was partly working so the schedule had been murder(as the childcare environment in Japan is not well developed yet, it gives much burden to wives, I believe). But I had started to indulge myself in it for the stress relief. I thought how interesting it was to play on the internet; searching unknown words, reading logical analysis, foruming, duplicating CDs, easily editing some TV programs and images that I had recorded earlier in a day. I was working on a PC and surfed the internet for an hour at first and spending that one hour would be a precious time for me those days; then, that one-hour had dragged onto two hours and three hours and four hours later. I thought that playing on the internet had been quite fun, but gradually thought that my sense of time perception had been pretty short compared to what it actually was and that physically, I was fatigued too. Then I started to hate using the internet while I found myself being addicted to it. One day, I tried to wind a rope around the PC round and round and put it into the closet and finally I got free from the bind, and thought how relieving it was to live without the computer!!!
haha that was the good old days...
I was too strict on myself and only the addiction is concerning when it goes beyond my control and that how far I generously accepted it was important. If it disturbs our life or hamper our daily practices, maybe it is bad. Nowadays, people around the world would be addicted to computers or smartphones. It is said that smoking cigarettes is bad 2013 and most of the public places it is prohibited, but it was just a happy practice before. Based on understanding the matter of the harmful things, Smartphone addiction will be a bad thing in 10 years and will be prohibited later. Or with the anti-smartphoner- activists' emersion, smartphone lovers will be pushed aside in the future. It’s all up to us in how we accept and control our lives.
I love and hate technology and it's all up to us how we control our desire. But it is true that it's hard to control something really fun.
