Is your life Balance?

Modern technology has changed the way of our lives. Everything is easily accessible whether you are buying a movie ticket or shopping for grocery. Our reliance on it has been un-detachable. 

That being said, work has never really left us after office hour as well. Remember your boss asking you to join the Whatsapp group or else risk being a target? 

No, you do not have a choice. 

Yes, now you are officially working 24/7 round the clock. 

Emails, chat groups, social apps have all been used for easy communication. But these advantages have also been “overused” by most corporate. Now there doesn’t seem to have after work hours. Every hour sounds more like standby for duty with your phone around you almost all the time. 

You are obliged to reply your boss almost instantly (in most cases) or risk listening to “lectures” the next day.

Wait, I thought technology advancement was supposed to ease our burden? Why is it the other way around?

As lifestyle was influenced by new technology, so does our balance in life. Suddenly, you are compelled to work on the weekends instead of taking a walk at the park. 

Just as you have finished your task in hand, you never leave the screen of your gadget. Your next “Job” is watching videos on social media. You may have unintentionally forgotten to work out. Or maybe spend some time with your loved ones.

The obesity rate is on the rise because couch potatoes are on the rise. It is growing at an alarming state. Now we have more gyms promoting fitness. Maybe more than just fitness – A place for good picture posting on Instagram later on.

Isn’t it being healthy supposed to be free in the first place? We have forgotten that. Technology has controlled our way of living.

Welcome to the new world. A world with an increasing number of “TECHNOLOGY SLAVE” a world that has caught itself off balance. Perhaps life would find its way to balance again.

So is your life balance? I hope so.
