IS TECHNOLOGY RUINING PERSONAL LIVES?

It will be wrong to blame technology for ruining personal lives.

Who decides the way of application of technology? And that too, to what extent?

The understanding of basic ideas will be helpful in this regard.

The one,the soul directs the mind to perceive the external world through the five sense organs, by sense of vision,hearing,taste,smell and touch.

In fact,  mind should be controlled by one's soul for application of five sense organs in the process of perceiving the world around.

But what happens is exactly the opposite, in that, the mind dominates in deciding what is to be perceived leading to the problem of undue,undesired and harmful importance being given to the things and means to be used for proper perceiving of the world.

One knows well that smoking is injurious to health. Alcohol is dangerous not only for health but also it can ruin one's own and family life. And for that matter every kind of addiction is harmful. But still we find people indulging in so many kids of addictions.What can be the reason?

The reason is lack of awareness.

There must basic awareness in every one to understand the meaning and significance of power of thinking wisely,the ability to discrete and choose the right one in polarities in values like rational and irrational,healthy and unhealthy, proper and improper, natural and unnatural,wise and foolishness,kind and unkind,and so on.

One must also be able to identify the core of issues,the problem and it's probable solutions,what is of real importance,etc.

How to utilize technology, that too at optimum level,how much importance it deserves,what should be gained from it,how much priority it deserves…. all these decisions have to be taken by us. And so we are fully responsible for these decisions in our life.

Having effective application of one's sarasar vivek buddhi  i.e. power of discretion, one will make proper and optimum use of technology and thus will never blame technology because one is confident that technology is for one and not vise- a -versa.
