Wish You Were Here

The good thing about technology is that it makes life easier and work faster. Recently, we watched a movie that talks about machines and how they lessen human effort. I agree with it very much and come to think of it, I cannot imagine to be someone who lived a hundred years ago where one must do all that haaarddd wooorkk...

However, I saw an ad that made me pause and think about the joys of life when it was simpler. I remember growing and all we ever played with are tin cans, rubber bands, sticks, leaves, and all other scraps we can imagine to be of use of. I remember that it wasn't the best toys but we had the best time. We played under trees, run on wide fields and eat fresh fruits.We get bruised, cut and scraped and no one really cared much as long as we had fun. Those moments were priceless and I hope my kids would get to experience them too. But technology is here..my four year old manipulates a mouse, uses my cell phone and my six year old can access his favorite website..My husband and I go out to have some quiet alone time and suddenly his cellphone beeps and boom! there goes our alone time up in the clouds..We have to hurry and be someplace else. Gosh! life has changed so much. But deep down, I still wish that I could make things simpler and let my boys run and play to their hearts content. I still hope that I can have my quiet alone time with my hubby. As long as there's tomorrow, nothing is impossible.
