It's no secret that technology is evolving at an unprecedented speed. As for me, I grew up in a time with no internet and just one rotary household. No, I'm not ancient, this is less than 30 years ago! Fast forward to today, here I am with my smartphone and smartwatch, all connected to my household appliances and car, while giving orders to Siri to do all my mundane tasks. I can access an endless amount of information, videos, and pictures, all from the comfort of my bed. And I can connect with anyone with one click of a button. Unfortunately, this abundance of content and easy connectivity often comes as a double edge sword.
It's important to take a step back, and remind yourself how fast things have changed, and be aware of how you interact with technology and the effects it has on you and the people around you.
