7. Without your phone, you feel naked. Perhaps this is the crux of the issue. Technology addiction is a reality these days, with people checking their emails and text messages as much as 30 to 40 times an hour. I know people who jokingly refer to their Blackberrys as “Crackberrys” because checking them is so addictive. But technology addiction is no joke. Technology can be a good thing, but too much of it can leave you stressed and strung-out. Studies have shown that smartphone usage can lead to catastrophic events such as car accidents, and are a primary cause of poor work-life balance.
So I guess the choice remains in each person’s hands. The balance we need to find is in appreciating and using technology the right way, but still knowing when to turn it off to experience life to its fullest. Using technology as a tool is the key, Bowman says. “In school, children don't have to memorize as many facts as their grandparents did because they can Google it, but this also gives children the ability to move past simple memorization and into more advanced levels of analysis, problem-solving, and synthesis of old knowledge into new ideas,” he explains.
