First of all, It was really hard to find a “Anti-Technology” cartoon on the internet!

Small experiences make up majority of our lives and sharing of such moments with the youth creates ties that make us bond as a family and a society, generation to generation. However if majority of such experiences are limited to stories and are no more doable by the new generation it creates a regressive void popularly known as the “Generation Gapâ€.
This great void directly and severely damages the societal framework that flourishes on the human interactions that the introduction of “techno-social†medium can not emulate. I’ll give you a couple of examples:
How many times do you cherish the warmth that was treasured when friends and family visited each other over the weekends. How clearly do you remember the last time you went to meet your school teacher or a old time friend while visiting your hometown. Have you recently received a letter by your loved one only holding which is a full experience in itself!
The point to ponder here is that should technology be at all permitted to replace the “human experiences†in life. Where using technology would mean facilitation and how can it simply take away a part of our “humanity†and lead the way to cloned disposable workers and cybernetic reproduction plants.
This brings to view the regulation of IT services; from the technologies that are developed and permitted for penetration to the content they carry to the masses. Who is to decide it, how could it be implemented, when to upgrade and how to penalize defaulters.
I say that the decisive role will be played by the consumer; hasty acceptances or careful adoptions!

I agree, the technology has created barries between families. and though load sheddings are not a good thing by any respect. but i find that at that time whole family comes together and actually tal without the idiot box noise and teenagers on internet.
I once met some one from Norway who war a phsycologist there for problems related to children and teen agers. he said for his family once a week they have 2-3 hours in such a way that they turn off all the lights of the house all TV computer are shut down. all family sits together a candle in between them and they take turns to talk, on any thing any event in their weekly life some thing they saw, and then they discuss it and the conversation is passed one by one. I intend to follow that when my family is big
But we need to have times for the family relatives when they sit and bond
