Nature Is Where The True Connection Begins

Our Society Today

Technology Has Taken Over! In this day and age, we use technology for just about everything we do. Look around right where you are reading this very post. How many pieces of technology do you see? One, two, or maybe ten. In our everyday life, we use technology to do various tasks whether we realize it or not. Now, what would life look like without technology?

The Goods Of Technology

Over the past several decades, technology has gotten more and more advanced. Today we use it for traveling, entertainment, communication, learning, and working. In many ways, technology has helped our society evolve from how our parents and grandparents lived back in the day. Technology has helped me in many ways since I was born. Without technology, trying to find ways to help me with my condition would have been really hard, and doing online schooling would have been impossible. Even though there are many good things about technology; there are bad aspects of technology as well.

How Technology Is Bad For Society

Remember how when you were younger you used to make up games, ride your bike to your friend's house to play, and spent all day outside without realizing it. You were free and actually acted like a kid, but today not a lot of people do this anymore. Think for a moment, when was the last time you spent time outside without a cellphone, when was the last time you actually called someone on the phone and talked to them without texting, and when was the last time you spent quality time with your family without electronics?  I did this just yesterday with my family, but for many,  technology has come such a big part of their lives that there is hardly anymore in-person contact.

My Experience

Some of my favorite moments are when electronics aren't involved in the experience.  Whenever my family goes on our utv or hiking. I absolutely love it. Not only am I out in nature but also we are in a place where there is no cell service. Times like this are where I  believe that the true connection begins. We get to spend time with the ones around us and create lasting memories.

Challenge To You

I'm not saying that we shouldn't use technology because it helps us in many ways. After all, I use it to create this blog; but in many ways, it can be bad for our society. I  challenge you to spend some time without electronics. Go for a walk, read a book, just do something to disconnect from electronics. I promise you that you won't regret it.
