Everyday, the technology has endless developments. From just a simple mobile phone for a voice call, then comes text messages then video call. Now a lot of apps are there for use everyday be it in office or at home.

Can you still live the life without too much gadgets and technology?

Actually, it is hard to imagine that nowadays. Gadget becomes very important after clothes as commodities I think it comes next. Ha ha.

Now It is not only hard to imagine but next to impossible to stay without a gadget in today's world in an urban set up. I need it for so many things..so many of my basic things like paying a bill or ordering a food. The world is growing digital and to stay in this world I need my gadgets. However, I try to use it for good and not get addicted to it.

That is true. Gadgets are now part of everyday life and communications as well.

That is true. It is very useful nowadays. Not only for communications but also with money, banking, shopping ans paying bills

I think I can live without those branded and unnecessary/excessive gadget. I'm fine to have one mobile phone and to have one computer to work with. Gadget is now a need specially in communication and in business. Too much used of it can cause illness. One must responsible handling on it.

No, I can't live a life without a gadget. Yes, it sounds OA for some people but it's the truth.

[SUPERSINGH]

It's very difficult for me, considering I'm most of the times active with my mobile or laptop or personal computer

All I need is a PC with internet connection. I can live without the portable ones.

Although I have a smart phone, I am not addicted to it at all. I often use it at home, but it is not unusual for me to leave it on the desk at home when I go out, mostly because I just forget about it. I use it for phone calls and occasional text, but because I have never been able to hear conversation without using the speaker phone, I have never held it against my head during use. I'm glad I never got addicted to it, and now I guess I am glad I have hearing problems after seeing this video.

I just happened to run across this youtube video that might make you rethink using "gadgets", particularly smart phones. It is about 11 and a half minutes of some very startling health effects you probably never knew. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLDdS4_Qneg

Maybe now you might just think of going without ... at least a day or two at a time.

I do not think it is OA but it is the reality now. Especially for the Millenials that grew up with gadgets.

Yes, for sure --for work purposes, all you need is a PC.

[leo1000]

I am really not sure I should live without my computer.

[jetsaints30]

No. Because this is already part of my daily life.

Proper usage I think is the key. No phones while you're eating or attending meetings. I put aside my phone if someone is talking with me. Sometimes we don't notice we mishandle gadget and turns in to rude.

Well I can and do at times try to reduce the usage but cannot do without it- it is a basic necessity in certain terms. But no, I never use mobile when driving or walking on the road unlike many others.

It is good that you have control over your gadgets. Many people are "controlled" by them.
