But think about it, at least 5 years ago this phrase sounded shocking. Life is impossible without parents, friends, and relationships many would tell you. But the reality is most people can’t live without their families and whether they would want to admit to it or not, without modern technologies as well.

The world has changed, we forget about meeting up with friends to go to the theater or cinemas, we can now communicate via Facebook, Skype and mobile phone and it doesn’t look strange. In fact we can know more about the Coliseum in Rome, than a person living next to it. Modern appliances and technologies make us all-instant experts with literally a world of knowledge at our finger tips.

Many would protest about the importance of technology in their lives but if you take a closer look you would be hard pressed to find a person that doesn’t make use of it in one form or another.

It could range from doing your research and booking your next vacation online, internet banking, online weather updates, downloading music or staying in touch with loved one’s via email or Facebook.

Movie lovers don’t even notice that Box Office hits like Spider Man, Toy Story, A Bug’s Life or Godzilla wouldn’t have made it to the big screen if it wasn’t for the advancements in technology. Simple things like how your pharmacy is able to keep track of the medication they give you to various medical breakthroughs are all made possible because of technology.

So yes you might not be part of the trendsetters tweeting away on Twitter, or Mxiting it up with friends but even the ‘non-geeks’ will have to admit, technology does make our lives a lot more convenient and colorful. http://www.virtuosa.co.za
