Explanation:
Technology and gadgets are now indispensable in our daily lives. In the past few years carrying a miniature computer (a smart phone) in a pocket has become commonplace. Technology helps advance the human race forward and makes doing mundane things more efficient and repeatable. Technology has helped create the information revolution.
With technological advances, devices have evolved to be so powerful and smart that it feels like having a super-computer on one’s hands. Humans now have an insatiable appetite for information at their fingertips. When technology makes this happen, the natural tendency is for this to become an expectation. When was the last time you printed a map or wrote a snail mail letter? If you did, then you belong to the elite endangered cadre of humans who are vanishing rapidly. Welcome to the information age! Before we frame our problem, we would like to ponder briefly over how our lives have changed with gadgets, compared to pre-digital era.
Life Without Gadgets
People born before the 1980’s would very well relate to life before the information age, when people had no access to internet or personal gadgets. Let's briefly walk down the memory lane to relive those moments — a life without gadgets.
Children played together outdoor — they had a lot of physical activity.
People talked to each other more often, and verbal communication face-face was at its peak.
Chat jargon did not exist and people knew their spellings well, as they read more books.
People enjoyed spending more time outdoors with family and friends.
It was commonplace to get the news from newspaper or radio.
Entertainment came from playing board games, playing sports, going to the movies, watching VHS tapes, etc.
Writers often used either a type-writer or a word processor on their computer.
Computers were expensive and bulky.
Doing research was hard; frequent visits to the library or scouring through plethora of papers, books, etc. were necessary.
Communication was slow.
Life With Gadgets
Gadgets equipped with internet have transformed our lives in several ways and brought about a paradigm shift in our dependence on technology to perform key tasks in our everyday routine. To highlight a few:
Enormous amount of information at our fingertips
Use Google Maps to get directions, watch YouTube videos to learn to cook, sing, draw, learn science, etc.
Health monitoring apps on the cell phone that would remind people to walk, run, bike, check BP periodically, etc.
Capability to share daily life or special events instantly with thousands of people and see reaction in a matter of minutes, if not seconds
Expedited research with access to information galore
Ability to watch videos on demand from anywhere (Netflix, Amazon, etc.)
Ability to read e-books online on demand — no more visits to library needed
Use of mobile phones, tablets as pacifiers for kids
Improved speed of communication by orders of magnitude leading to faster decision-making
Existence of mobile apps for entertainment, social interaction through digital media, paying bills, accessing bank accounts, etc. (virtually for any purpose)
While there have been advantages to this information age and gadget revolution, it has created an insatiable appetite for information. It's now an expectation that information be readily available on demand from anywhere. This is the age of instant gratification. While technology has fostered the human race, does our current consumption pattern adversely impact our analytical and creative abilities, lead to loss of focus in communication and make us just indexers of data rather than bearers of knowledge? Are we addicted to our gadgets? Let's find out.
You’ve temporarily misplaced your cell phone and anxiously retrace your steps to try to find it. Or perhaps you never let go of your phone — it's always in your hand, your pocket, or your bag, ready to be answered or consulted at a moment’s notice.
Dr. Veronika Konok and her collaborators[1] cite evidence that supports the idea that “healthy, well-functioning adults also report significant emotional attachment to special objects.”
A quick survey showed that most people panicked when they had misplaced their smartphones (Fig. 1).

A quick survey showed that most people panicked when they had misplaced their smartphones (Picture in the above and also written down)
Panicked = 73%
Desparate = 14%
Sick = 7%
Relieved = 6%
Please mark me as the brainliest.
