Blackberry Reviews

If you look at the past 20 years, some thrilling strides have been made in the area of multi media and technology. For example, here's a Samsung Galaxy S Review, which illustrates how technology has changed the way we go about our daily business.

It provides us with step-by-step navigation, reviews for restaurants, movies, and shopping, and even ties our shoes for us (ok, maybe in another 5 years). The fact of the matter is though, that most everyone today would be "lost" without their instant connection to the cyber world if it were taken away.

There is no doubt that many of these advancements are very good for our well being. However, there are some negative effects. While in some ways, we are more connected than we have ever been, in other ways we couldn't be farther apart.

Grandma can actually see her grandkids while she talks to them via video chat. Or mom can email dad a list of groceries which he buy at a discount because he has coupons on his phone.

But remember, these very same upgrades in our life are also the very things driving us further away from each other. When was the last time you avoided walking 10 feet to ask someone in your office a questions because it was more "convenient" to just email or send an instant message or text message?

Today, you can do virtually anything that you want to by simply getting online. The internet has afforded us such luxuries as being able to order our dinner, pay all our bills, and even avoid having to go the car dealership and put up with the sneaky salesman.

While all this is very good and well, it is important to realize where our technologies have brought us so that we are careful to combat the negative aspects.

This is what I am trying to say. People are so enamored with the internet and all of technologies that they have actually begun to use this as a way of being anti-social. This can have terrible consequences because more and more people will impart less and less into each other.

Here's a couple tips to get you thinking about ways to keep technology in the right perspective for yourself, your family, and all those who surround you.

If you are in the workplace, be cognizant of the fact that face-to-face communication can be a really effective way to build relationship with your colleagues.

Tell your children that there are limits to the amount of time spent on computers and gaming systems. Even consider using these as rewards for proper behavior.

Find time to spend with your wife and kids by having a family game night once a week or going out for pizza.

At the end of the day, just keep your use of the tools you have in perspective. Don't go overboard with technology to the extent that it consumes you and detracts from the quality of your life. Remember, technology is meant to simplify, not complicate!

I am willing to bet that if you follow this simple information, it will help your relationships to be healthy and your life to be more abundant.
