Описание: There is no doubt that the proliferation of technology has dramatically changed our world, with countless positiveimpacts. It's almost unreal to see toddlers playing with iPhones and people in their 80s using WhatsApp and Facetimeto communicate with their families around the world. However, a side effect of the increasing availability oftechnology has been a corresponding increase in the strain it's put on humans. In today's developed and developingworld, the majority of people have become busier than ever before, constantly engaged in reading, viewing, creatingand engaging with content.Booking travel, conducting banking transactions, or buying things has never been easier--something which hasspurred significant economic growth. However, technological improvement has also disrupted traditional businessmodels, and many longstanding businesses have gone bankrupt as a result. This has birthed an interesting dichotomy, where even as millions of new jobs are created people are losing their existing jobs at a faster rate than ever before.The net effect of this is that everybody is now on the run. There is a constant rush to remain on top of technologyand be current, for fear of becoming extinct. This has caused significant changes in many aspects of life, includingfamily dynamics, human-pet relationships, and our attitude towards the environment.This has raised a few important questions: Has our increasing access to information actually made us smarter? Hasthe propagation of mass communication tools actually improved our ability to communicate? Have inventions designedto make our lives easier truly improved our quality of life?For amidst all this change, many things have remained constant--nature's cycles, human physiology, the number ofhours available in a day. In the face of such contrast, the time has come to break through the noise, reduce the stresscaused by our constantly changing lifestyle, and bring some sanity back to our lives.This book is an attempt to capture my own ponderings on the vast innovations in science and technology over the lastfew decades, and the impact they've had on human life. I think it's time for everyone to take a break and contemplateour ultra-modern times. Human life is too rich of an experience to be wasted in being a slave to technology, merelya tiny node amidst the vast universe of the Internet.
