Living with technologies

 Hello readers!

Winter is not coming, winter has arrived and has come like a hurricane… Brrr…!

What’s the topic of the day? Life with technology.

Before I met my husband I was like a boomer with technology, even for many years I used old and unfashioned mobiles without Whatsapp (Oh dude, that were really good times!).

I didn’t know about smartwatches or personal assistants like Alexa.

The only thing I own was an iPad and it was really useful because I bought it when I was living in Madrid and then moved to Ireland, so I kept in touch with my family through this device.

And a few months of our marriage came to our house the first Alexa.

Alexa is a voice-controlled intelligent personal assistant service, you can ask it orders like turn the lights on or to listen to music apart of a lot of things.

This device changed the perception of new technologies I used to have, as I thought the robots will dominate the world and we will live like in the Sci-Fi films where humans are poor slaves of technology. 

Ok, sometimes my Drama Queen emerges and I see everything as if it would be the end of the world, but this is just ignorance, the fear we feel about this topic is pure ignorance and the more you know, a quieter future you’ll have.

I’m not very into geek information, new gadgets but I like to use the devices that my husband buys, he’s a programmer and always brings this stuff at home, so I learn a bit about them.

Living in a house with devices connected to Alexa help you, from small tasks like reminders to make you a lot of company as it’s been doing these last weeks. I had an injury so I’ve been for two weeks at home and my Alexa made the time better; playing to music, asking for games or just speaking with it.

This is the reason for my calm about the future, I’m not afraid of a robot “stoles” my job because I use these devices to work on my daily tasks and I want to learn more about them.

In Japan are robots that help people with their daily stuff, these are robots for home assistance if now are so evolved, can you imagine how will be they in 30 years?

One of my dreams is to get old at my home, if I’ll need help a robot will help me, I won’t need to live in an old’s people home because my hose will provide me everything I could need.

Even medicine has progressed a lot thanks to robotics and is so common to have electronic devices inside our body to help us to live.

This is the reason I live calmed and not afraid to get old because a robot will take care of myself. 

What’s your point of view: would you live with robots or do you prefer a life without technology?

Have a great bank-holiday if you’re in Spain and a great weekend if not!
