The advancing economy and the continuous evolution in technology have brought about change in the system. Man power is reducing day by day even though it seems equally important.
Turn back to our grandparents … we are living a comfortable life on the other hand; they are physically more sound than us. They have been washing, cooking, sweeping, brooming, etc. using physical strength. Today, man is searching for new solutions to make life simpler and easier. A present housewife cannot function without a washing machine or vacuum cleaner. The technology era has brought about great impact on man today. When air-conditioners were first introduced, there was a great demand, because this was one system that provided better cooling during summers. They sold like hot cakes. Today, every home owns an air-conditioner.
Gradually, man started to get lethargic to switch off the air-conditioner switch. After all, who would like to wake up half way from sleep, just to switch off a button? So, companies came up with ‘Split AC’s’ which is operated using a remote. A ‘remote’ to operate your air-conditioning system from anywhere in the room. Now came another hurdle, what if the remote is away from where you are seated? Lazy again. This lethargic state of man has always remained as a permanent tendency in his life. The effect is due to the technology which keeps transforming and the introduction of new gadgets, making life simpler for man.
In the past, an average individual could live for thousand years. Cambridge University geneticist Aubrey de Grey has famously stated, “The first person to live to be 1,000 years old is certainly alive today …whether they realize it or not, barring accidents and suicide, most people now 40 years or younger can expect to live for centuries.”Today, an average individual can live between 74-77 and more depending on the lifestyle and other factors.
It is never too late. For example;” Brooming and Sweeping does not kill.” Sweeping provides exercise for keeping good health. In this way, you are saving funds and subsequently it keeps an individual physically healthy. It’s best if we slowly start to reduce our usage of electronics and start to physically exercise one’s body. Lethargic is not an excuse, one must overcome this state and be more energetic. One must start to take up responsibilities when it comes to yourself and your home.
