Me not very modern

Take a look around today while you are walking around the streets, taking a ride on the bus or mrt trains. Heads are down, almost for all people. Staring deep onto the devices they hold in their hands. Whether its their iPod, iPhone or just any mobile phones and mp3 players.

We shifted from lives from the tv to the computer and now to mobile devices. Lives so revolved around technology that its becoming inseparable. Take away your access to a computer or your phone for a day or two, can you imagine how it'll be like? Imaginable? Or just a nightmare for some?

I could remember twice while I was overseas and my phone was left at home so for days I did without all the usual communication. And I embrace the peace that was there without it.

Earlier this evening, I happen to be out for a drink. While on the bus, I realized that I had left my phone in my drawer. It struck that I would be not contactable at all. Did worry me for a bit. Then throwing that aside, I just focused on going for the drink and not having to be distracted by my phone. That once a while checking of sms or time.


It does gives me the feeling that compared any modern day person, I should be quite ancient.
