Abusing of new technologies is an issue increasingly present in our society. As a rule, huge companies have created a lot of objects to facilite simple actions. Although these items have meant a key breakthrough in our diary life, they make people be absorbed ignoring the surrounding environment.
One answer would be to put ourselves a time limit using devices such as mobile phones, laptops, consoles, tablets... Thus, we would be connected only a certain time and the rest of it, we could enjoy outdoor activities with family and friends. I would also like to highlight that this effective rule is not new and many people practice it.
Another solution is to be conscious that when you stay with friends and family, you must avoid the use of devices. As we can see, a lot of people who use mobile phones on the streets, ignore other people who are with them face to face. Through the application of the previous advice, everybody would appreciate their surround.
In summary, new technologies cause dependence and the need to be "online" all the time. It is noteworthy to mention that both the "disease" and the "cure" is in us, therefore we have the power to reduce the use of these devices. As a result, we will live in a better world based on non-technology values.
