For fun's sake let us imagine our day with minimum technology .I know its hard, but let us give it a try.
So you wake up in the morning on a coir mattress ( say like the mattresses made in SSIs which are not heavily mechanized). You freshen up and then think of checking your Facebook page...oh wait!You do not have a computer, let alone internet.YAWN..a boring day already.Why don't you go outside and enjoy the nature around you?Sigh!What about a TV or a cell phone? No..that's absent too.
Well then you might as well go back to sleep.
Time for another observation..Recently I had a neighbour wishing me on my birthday(so sweet of her). Well the funny thing is she wished me through Facebook when she could just as easily have wished me in person. I agree a FB wish would save you the cost of a long distance call but wont a face to face wish have more warmth than a virtual message..? Well I don't know anymore..because I too have been caught in the cobweb of the virtual world..where everything is unreally real. Its not a bad thing altogether, but sometimes it is nicer to meet people and keep the spirit of relationships alive.(bleh)
Yes there are times when I wish things would go back to being simple and straight like in the 90s.(but then Woody Allen showed that all of us did want to go back). So I should stop my observations (indeed trivial) and breathe all of it in!
