Mustn’t grumble

Rx for Technology

2 June 2009

Today’s world is a virtual reality that has been morphed, warped, and dwarfed
by technology. We live in a world dominated by TV, radio, movies, internet, and
cell phones. All of this technology is a mixed blessing: it connects us with
others, but it disconnects us from ourselves. In order to reconnect with
ourselves, we must “disumbilicate” ourselves from technology, by spending at
least one hour a day in solitude, silence, and inner reflection. Let’s rediscover
the soothing nature of aloneness, which allows us to commune with ourselves.
