Life minus the ease

The word "ease" has a completely different meaning all together today, for me ease directly corresponds to technology and its enhancements. To start off with something as simple as, without it today I would be probably clacking away on a typewriter and post which that piece of paper would be lost within all the pile of trash without any kind of circulation. The inception of technology, one of the biggest gifts to mankind without which we would certainly be incomplete. A person today can be judged by mainly three things, the amount of money he/she makes, the place where he/she stays and his/her internet speed.

Technology as defined, is something that makes life convenient with the application of scientific knowledge. Let’s try and imagine a regular working day without it. To start off our day waking up/ stage 1, we most certainly would have to rely on family members who are possibly dreamless sleepers or insomniacs to personally wake us up (minus alarm clock). Getting ready/stage 2, without a sense of time, seems like a certainly easy task for most (minus a watch). Using the public transport/stage 3, this is a little tricky to analyse if buses/trains/monorails could be considered as mainstream technology, even if we don’t consider them as main stream technology, their back-end systems surely are and so are the back-end systems for the punishment lights. The easiest and quickest solution to get you to your destination would be animal slavery, due to derailed trains and bashed up buses  due to lack of communication and sync (minus public transport). Reaching work in the worst possible state, only to know that the day has just begun. Running around to meet people personally and waiting for telegraphs/posts to hopefully arrive (minus outlook). Lack of knowledge on the current happenings in the city, which means death or being robbed is always on the table (minus the internet). After a long day of torture, returning home to an over populated house of your cranky, angry, demanding and playful children (minus entertainment systems).

For me the minor inclusions of technology makes or breaks my day. For example staying in a city, where the weather is very unpredictable, a small automated reminder by Siri, Cortana or the likes to carry my jacket would immensely change my day for the better. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get – Forest Gump. A statement apt for a life without technology.

Sometimes the things that are easily attainable, shouldn't be taken for granted.
