A Dangerous Addiction

A Dangerous Addiction
I have noticed there are so many that are addicted to their computer and facebook and the internet in general. It is true that we have so many things to make our life easier and more productive but when these things are your whole world and they are controlling you. Talking constantly and texting on the cellphones is allowing us to become disconnected rather than connected. I observed a woman select all her groceries and buy them in the checkout line and as she pushed her cart out to her car she was still talking. I know someone personally who is on the computer from the moment she gets up until she goes to bed stopping only to eat and go to the bathroom.
There is very little conversation with her on a face to face level. She watches a lot of spiritual videos but is very disconnected. I ask myself what she is learning and why it is not being implemented in her life.

Are you chatting with your facebook friends and ignoring the real live people who are standing quietly by while you ignore them? Would they cheer if your computer broke down? Have you forgotten something on the stove? Have you totally lost track of time even with the time on display on your computer? Have you been late because of this?

Is your daily schedule weird...going to bed very late and sleeping very late because of this? Are the people in your life complaining about it? Do you carry on conversations by yelling from your chair while sitting in front of the computer instead of getting up and leaving the room to talk? When dinner is on the table do you yell out you will be there in a minute instead of just getting up and going in to eat? Do you constantly forget things you have to do? Do you forget something someone told you because they had to talk to the back of your head while you stared at the computer screen? The list is endless. Cellphone use and computer use is the addiction of our world. So far it is not recognized as an actual addiction but it is an addiction never-the-less. Take a good look at your life and determine if this may be you. Your life will change for the better if you curb this.
Do this before the people in your life don't care anymore if you sit there for hours and tune them out! Life is passing you by!
