Laptops and Cellphones, Adding Stress to Our Worlds

One of the largest changes in the Industrialized countries over the past decades has been the increased ability to communicate and gain information anywhere in our world. When people leave the house or go anywhere, in the olden days they were cut off from the world and relax. However, now a day, there is no getting away from society and virtually no time to ones self, because people always have their cell phones on them. This is increasing stress in our society, and it is advised that sometimes when you go out and need to relax, you simply turn your phone off.

Laptops are also affecting our world, but in a different way. Many people now always have a computer with them. People can bring their work with them anywhere. This can be a positive if it allows them to leave their usual work place to get away. However, if abused, this will ruin peoples’ vacations and at home time, for they will be pressured to do work even when not at their work place.

Having said this, these technologies can be very helpful when used correctly. Cell phones can be great safety devices and provide a way for people to keep in touch, as long as they are not constantly used, especially when trying to relax. Laptops can also be great ways to gain information and have access to the world, as long as they are not abused for work purposes. Just remember not to abuse these technologies and bring unnecessary stress into your world!
