This article is truly amazing. Every single word you wrote had a meaning. It’s been a while since I’ve read something with such insight. I’ve just read it, although this was published years ago

I’m 14 now, and very attached to technology as I use it in every single minute. I can never imagine my life without it. It plays a big role in spreading my ideas/ voice etc.. to the whole world.

However, I think we need to find the thin layer of balance between technology and life.

I agree with you. Before I started using the computer, I didn’t necessarily think I was missing anything. But once I started using technology, I can’t really turn back and I accept that. Now it’s all about finding ballance.

True. I think Internet and Technology are addictive. People who never used a computer don’t care and they feel like they are missing something and when you use, you never go back. but again balance is kinda hard since there is a billion things to do online. so keeping a balance between a real life and an internet and technology life. I live a life without Tech and Internet and I was doing great. but now It is crazy how much I am so involved and can’t quit with Internet and Tech..

Thank you. I wrote this like two years ago. I’m glad people like what I wrote. I’m actually in the process of redoing my website and hope to start blogging more.

This is so interesting.. I’ve found that a mix of cutting edge tech and a more minimalist / unburdened life is better than either alone. I try to avoid all news (instead relying on friends to keep me updated), and only check facebook, email, etc twice per day. At the same time, I get an enormous amount of value out of the little time I do spend on social media, and apps like Instagram make my day every day…

Awesome post, Spencer

WOW, I’m Montevideo-Uruguay and I live 100% the same, so far I don’t “hate” my life just because be connected all the time and with notifications everywhere, I really enjoy it and understand how world works, and it’s not all about tech.

I also have been camping since I were born and there was no technology, facebook, twitter, whatever, and was good times and there always will be there and friends that would love camping without tech.

I agree that it’s a good time to know the balance, on the other hand it’s about progress and the world we’re making.
