“You can’t upload love, you can’t download time, you can’t Google all of life’s answers. You must actually live some of your life.”

In this technology-driven 21st century, where most of our work and needs are just a click away, where we are more online than offline, we are spending most of our time with gadgets and the internet. From our mobile phones, tablets, laptops, to earpods we are all surrounded by gadgets. Today it's just impossible to think our life without all these technologies and gadgets. 

But in all this what we are missing out is our freedom. There was a time when Britishers ruled India, and today is the time where technology is ruling the world. We are so engaged with these gadgets that we hardly spend time with ourselves and with our loved ones. 

Among all the gadgets mobile is the one that remains with us each and every moment. No doubt it's very beneficial gadget as it's serving the needs of people across the world. Its benefit is well known to everyone. Even in lockdown when the world was just limited within the four walls, mobile was one of the gadgets that helped students in their education and also linked the world through different social media platforms. But is it good enough to just focus on the positive side??

Using anything in limit is good but excess use is like a threat to our real life and reality. Today if we chose to spend some time with our family or friends, still we bring cell phones and other gadgets within the time period that we are giving to others. 

Can't we just simply enjoy that moment? Can't we give our proper time to the person with whom we are? These smartphones and gadgets used to be in our hands but the fact is that, they use to control us.

Do we really enjoy all the moments that come in our life?

Do we really make memories or just run in the race of showing off to the world?

Today we are least bothered to live the moment. Instead of capturing the moment in our memories, we tend to capture it in our cell phones & feel to have enjoyed the moment but it's not the real enjoyment. What we need is to live the moment instead of just getting ourselves busy with the gadgets and just having selfies and videos. Just try now to live the moments as such and you will notice how peaceful and exciting the experience will be. Various ways are there to overcome the habit of using gadgets every moment.

We can take the following actions regarding this.

• If we are using cell phones or gadgets without necessity then we can fix particular timing for such usage (especially evening or night time after work, it depends) as for playing games, using social media, etc 

• We need to start meditation that will help to have control over our mind along with other benefits.

• If social media (including WhatsApp) unnecessarily wastes our time, we should choose to quit them for a few days.

• In the moments where we are present, we should try keeping our mobile phones or other gadgets apart from us. This will slowly change your habit of being addicted to gadgets and you will surely see changes in a few days or weeks.

• Give our full time to the person with whom you are. 

• We should keep our social media notifications off and even keep our internet off if no use.

• Get interacted with the people in the real world than just to have chat online.

It's not that, that I was such a person who used to follow these above-mentioned points, but surely I can say, now I am such a person who use to follow all these points. I too was addicted to gadgets especially my cell phone but after I realized how good n peaceful it is living life without getting so addicted to gadgets, I at once started changing myself. 

Today I not only give time to my work/studies but even I get a lot of time to follow my passion, my hobby, and even give time to my family and friends.

Just start giving time to yourself and your passion and also tell me in the comment section what else can be done to overcome this addiction ??

So as per the beginning, you can't upload love, so give your love to your loved ones around you; you can't download time, so save time instead of wasting on overuse of gadgets and spend quality time with your friends and family. And you can't Google all of life's answers, so start asking those questions to the one who cares for you i.e your family and friends. And finally, start enjoying the moment and actually living the life.
