Essay on About a Time - without Technology

Question: Write an Essay on about a time, without technology. Answer: Man and technology is inseparable from each other, as the first one is the inventor and the other is the invention made by him. However, there was once a time when man had to tackle all the hurdles without the help of the modern technology. When there was no alarm clock to wake us all and there were no modern ways to connect us to the virtual world. Life was full natural recourses; it was not so easy but was soothing (Gillespie, Boczkowski, and Foot 2014). The age without the help of the technology provided man the opportunity to connect to nature. People were more connected with the people rather than to their mobile phone. The days started with the chirping of the birds and ended with the owls cry. It was very difficult and at the same time very exciting to collect food for the day and to cook them. Woods were collected and fire was made with the help of the stones. There not a broad availability of the food items and a lot of time was devoted in the cooking process. The spare times were passed in the family gatherings and people in that age were more connected with their families. Before the invention of the modern technology, the social structure was different. Without much access to the outside world, the women were the the ones who managed the household and the most important task for them was to look after the children. Men were engaged in works. The works mostly included the agricultural and a lot of work force was required (Harding and Figueroa 2013).Without the technology, there was a very less amount of entertainment available. People then used to visit the parks and they used to stop by their friend or relatives places. The age without the technology enabled man to secure a close connection with the nature but it was an age full of difficulties. It was at that time very difficult to communicate with the people living far. The access to information was not only limited but also difficult. Another big challenge was to deal with the medication of the sick (Nakamura and Chow-White 2013).The transport system too was not well developed. It took days to reach a place. However in an age, which was free from the technological benefits, was an age where people were more active. There were face-to-face conversation and life was simple. The age was free from the complex family problems and there were more trust among the people. People knew the worth of hard work. People were equally able to perform their work it just took them more hard work and a bit more time to organise the environment (Perloff 2015). The human brain back then was more active than the computers. Therefore, to conclude it can be said that ev ery age had its advantages and the disadvantages so does the age without technologies, with its distinctive features.
