Technology usage does not come with instructions

Technology usage does not come with instructions in order to be guided how human beings can use this at the best of their benefit...


This disguised escapism in the form of a virtual reality although sometimes this escapism can be beneficial i.e.
* when that is used for knowledge sharing purposes
* or when that can act as a "different pair of glasses",
* or when that can connect the world by superseding racial/social backgrounds with inspiring ideas/areas of common interest, as boarders are just in our minds
it can also become dangerous
* for privacy issues
* and other issues such as misguided manipulation; technology can be used as a mean of distortion of what is real or what is true.
* or  can be blamed for decreasing the quality of our lives, as technology can be used as a mean of information that is not always useful but rather harmful or due to the technology we have items of mass production that do not have the emotional aspect that a handcrafted item would for example.


Beneficial or not, we are now in Research & Development phase or on a continued testing mode phase.
Who is the tester and what is the outcome of this research?
The impact will be visible in the years to come.


Areas of our lives are governed by civil or religious laws to establish fairness, discipline and guidance. However, this life that technology promises is mainly virtual as far as the internet and social media are concerned. Isn't this an area that usage should have come with instructions?


Five potential do not do this instructions could be the following:

* do not use technology prior sleeping or when waking up; it's bad for the mind.

* do not use technology on a non stop basis; have a break, have a kit kat.

* do not use social media to reveal internal affairs; don't wash your dirty linen in public, it's an ill bird that fouls its own nest!

* do not use social media to share the moment; live the moment to the maximum, share this later. If all moments are shared, then which moment will remain yours? It's not all about sharing, is it?

* do not use social media to contact real friends; real friends have senses and other feelings that these can not be captured by a "like" or a comment or a picture. A picture is not always 1000 words and if it is use your own emotions and words to express those.

Anthropomorphic Robots

Humans always wanted assistants & maybe that's the origin of servants or even slaves. Over time technology evolved & that gave us the opportunity to create artificial humans: machines called robots designed & programmed to do certain tasks. These robots have the ability to execute tasks more efficiently than humans.

Humans have also a "do tasks" section in their programming code. But humans have also a "feelings" section in their programming code that robots do not have. For some people "feelings" seem to be a "bug" in there programming code since feelings are always affecting their performance on doing tasks in one way or another; for some other that part of the code is perceived to be a blessing since the "feelings" section of the code  can enhance their creativity & do the certain tasks in slightly different way of what the "do tasks" section impose them to do.

Without the "feelings" section of the programming code

*  Feelings of course would never had existed

*  & tears would not had been let to leave the corner of our eyes

*  & smiles would not had let our mouth & cheeks to be stretched

*  & heartbeats would had been limited to certain scales when doing
    certain things

*  & opinions would had also being expressed in standard ways
    or expressions
*  & creativity would had been limited in zero levels
*  & life just wouldn't have been the same...

But "guess what? we are not robots". Whoever programmed us put "feelings", mistakenly or not, to be part of the code. & that made the whole things non standard, diverse, much more interesting, unexpected & live full! & even if sometimes those feelings hurt us especially when tasks seem to be impossible to be done, some other times the pleasure & happiness that those feelings give us cancel the not so good moments out...
