Do you remember your life prior to a computer? Surprisingly, many people alive today should, though it is hard to remember that time if life. For some, they have never known life before a pc. Yet, there are still some that did not have a computer for the majority of their life.
It is hard to think of now, but there was a time when there was no Facebook, Twitter, Ebay, or even Google. There was a time when people managed to get along without a pc. For that matter, people even managed without a microwave.
There was a time when people used a typewriter instead of their computer to get work done. Ah, typewriters - who remembers white out? That was a different time of life, wasn't it? This was also a time when far more mothers were able to be stay at home moms.
Computers are a part of everyday life now and it is hard to imagine going back to a time before them. However, many could argue that while they have made it possible to get far more done in a shorter amount of time, that if mismanaged, they can also complicate life further.
The way that we use our pc is a statement about our ability to maintain self control. It can be much harder than it seems on the surface. The computer can be used to access the endless amounts of information - good and bad - on the web. Learning is a good thing and can be addicting. However, it can also make us much more counterproductive.
Kept within control though, computers can make our life a lot easier and more productive than ever before. From researching to writing to managing information, a pc can be a huge time and paper saver. It can also be a great way to share and stay connected with friends, family and others.
One of the keys to managing our computers and making them work for use rather than us work for them is to set our own house rules and live by them. An example of this might be to set a time limit of "free time" on the internet. Another is to set clear "computer times" and stick to that.
With the onset of new technology that will expand the definition of pc, it is important that we get our control now. Learn to utilize the computer to save time, not eat it all up. Once you have the computer under your control and not you under its control, you will find it very helpful to giving you more time.
