STORY By MUSYOKA NGUI
In today's world, there's so much hurry yet people are seated, sitting and adjusting positions. Whether they are travelling, in a couch or sleeping, one thing is clear. They have a new master: Tech devices.
They may not say exactly they are detained and soon they will be deported to slumber land.
But then again, it's a voluntary way of spending money and time while catching up with the Joneses. Chasing wind.
Let's look at the folly of addiction to technology devices like laptops, smart phones and smart televisions today. Like all addicts, I am in denial that it ever happened. A day used to rise and set without touching anything electronic. Maybe a radio or a torch. At least. For the bare minimum errands.
I justify that I am doing it for ecitizen, the children or just the favourite: chilling to get more online gigs. Since when did field work go online and all at once, no one is required to suffer the consequences of planning an outdoor activity?
All abuses come with justifications. Is this how we will cruise past '25? Five moons later! It's a rude awakening to sober up, rehab.
