A Life So Wired Up!!

Most of us are either directly or indirectly grateful to technology, softwares and hardwares. These are the components that are making lives easier, helping us match up with the faster pace of life. Be it the payment of phone bills, transferring funds to near and dear ones, booking air tickets or seeing someone come alive on the webcam while you are thousand miles away from him or her, technology plays a potent role that can never be written off.

Getting out of bed, the first thing I do is put my phone on charge since I will need to use it for the next 10-11 hours. In office, it's technology everywhere- elevators, computers, desk phones, coffee vending machines, LCD TVs, etc. Back home, I sit with my laptop, and that is the moment when I realize how wired up my life is. I have to plug the Internet wire, insert the charging cable, plug the mouse wire, and if my roommate is sleeping, I have to put my headphones on (for not disturbing him)..well, I am surrounded by four wires. And if that is not enough, and I feel like charging my MP3 Player, I will attach it too..Phew!

May have heard of being "screwed up"; I have to experience it while I am so much "wired up". At times, I need to be pretty careful. I have to ensure that I don't step on any of those widely laid out wires. It often so happens that I am deeply pre-occupied enjoying a track on the headphone and reach out for my water bottle. Out of mind, not realizing that I have the headphones on, I get up to grab the bottle, and suddenly experience a strong pull, something awry!! I feel like kicking myself for almost breaking the wire. In fact, I feel like being seriously "wired up", that is so crucial and engulfing.
