However, because of this trendy technology mostly youth give importance of it and ignore the books inside the libraries and even disregard reading it, they are attached with gadgets because it gives them easier answers in their questions, like google and free basics. They got more fun using it rather than asking questions to their siblings and parents. But we should not forget that books gave us more information when gadgets are not yet present and trending so let’ s not let ourselves be slaves of technology.

There are lots of youth that amused in using gadgets, some of them skip their meals because they are always occupied using gadgets, even the command of their parents cannot be heard because of it, most of them don't traditional games with friends just like before as they prefer to play online games like dota and counter strike. We should not let the memorable happenings in our lives be easily forgotten because of un important things we do during our childhood days, life is short, we must always think positive and live life to the fullest.

The modern technology can find way to make our life changed and improved our living but, if we do not use it properly maybe it can be the reason in dragging us to become slave of it and can make our life miserable.

Modern technology has big impact also; cellphones, computers etc. are useful in finding job and even job itself by using it.

Some folks told me that youth back then and now are much different, youth before are more lively and cheerful but now moody and poker face , I laughed at the “poker face” youth has quality time in the means of gathering and listening to old stories of their folks, listening while uncles playing guitars and even singing to the song they played, laughing while eating bananas but now folks don’t have quality time with their youth because of cellphones, tablets and computers. Even prefer to talk to their age level rather than hearing the dialog of their grands. So sad of nowadays generation because of technology. They are grumpy people as well.

Why is it that gadgets can cause trouble to our lives? It can cause trouble to us if we cannot control it and without the provisions of our parents also, some parents maybe busy finding foods and means of living in their homes table that’ s why they did not supervised their children well and children depends in their cellphones because they think cellphones can replaced the absence of their parents, but the real reason is they seek care and love from them. This is one of the reasons why children/youth become slave of technology.

Everyone uses new technology; you, me, we. But we should be aware the usage of it and how to manage it, if it is for good and make our lives easier or it is bad that make our lives miserable. We should be responsible in our own actions and take the consequences of it. So that we cannot become a slave of technology.

Closing Thoughts

Therefore, we should appreciate books, by reading it more often and give importance on it, don’t get overly carried away by gadgets and always depending it nor give importance to things that surround us because life is unpredictable, we do not control fate, only God knows when our time has come.

So control yourselves, always ask guidance from above and don’t be a Slave in the modern technology. Be vigilant, be mindful and be yourselves.

I myself is slave of this technology but I used it to earn money instead of wasting my time in nonsense social medias.

Thank you for reading!
