You're right, today, life without machines is impossible.<BR/><BR/>However, sometimes, I try to reduce my dependence on machines by switching off my mobilephone for a few days or staying away from my laptop or my home computer. Have virtually stopped watching TV. When I do that, I feel a sort of relief.<BR/><BR/>But, I know it's temporary. And even then, I can't live without a refrigerator. So, I'm probably fooling myself.Biswajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04137874016611139677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12398229.post-90676741801723905062007-03-15T10:09:00.000+05:302007-03-15T10:09:00.000+05:30Well,(hats off,) you are so optimistic that you th...Well,(hats off,) you are so optimistic that you think can survive without machines..I cannot think of one such day. <BR/><BR/>Computer, iPod, mobile...life is so empty without them.<BR/><BR/>Let me (not) mention I am a computer Engineer.
