Have you ever wondered what would happen if one of our dead ancestors (preferably from a few centuries ago) resurrected and arrived to live among us? Our world would amaze them and if not guided around, they might end up in a mental asylum. The gadgets would scare them. The vehicles would drive them crazy. Shouldn’t we be grateful that we live in this century where everything is just a few clicks away?
We live a privileged life today. The very fact that you are reading this post is proof that technology has given you the freedom and a platform to express your thoughts and beliefs. We have a voice in this world because of technology. A post on social media can touch many lives. A blog post, a tweet ,a newspaper article, a podcast, a YouTube Video, whatever way we wish to express our thoughts, we can. It is all free.
A few decades ago, women didn’t have a voice. Many still don’t. I have the technological know-how to create a voice bubble of my own which can be accessed and interpreted by anyone, anytime. I can talk to a loved one residing in any part of this world. I can watch them live via Skype. I can exchange news daily with my family and friends via Whatsapp. I can learn new things via the internet absolutely free because a few individuals have graciously shared their knowledge online.
Our grandparents didn’t enjoy this privilege nor did our parents. I am addicted to technology and I try to update myself with the latest technology. Being tech savvy always has its advantages. I feel safer and enjoy more freedom online. So that is one habit that I am grateful about.
Tell me what is that one habit that you cherish and is grateful about?
I plan to write #ThankfulThursday posts on every Thursday starting today.
I am linking this with Twinklingtina of TinaBasu.com, who is hosting this Linky party along with Amrita Misra.
Yes being tech savvy is a habit to be thankful for indeed.I feel blessed to be able to connect with like minded people (like you ) across distances .Time and place don't matter if we can use technology.

Yes exactly. It is the need of the hour.
DeleteBeing tech savvy ourselves inspires our children. Also, it gives them a message they cannot bluff their way through any online mischief.:)
