How to use technology without being used by it

Technology should serve your life, not direct it.

There is no need to demonize technology. It can help you work, learn, organize yourself, and communicate. The problem appears when you use it without intention. Using anything well demands judgment. If you decide when, why, and how much to use it, technology becomes a tool. Otherwise, it ends up setting your inner pace. Technology serves when it keeps its proper place. When it invades every wait or moment of silence, it is wise to reclaim spaces where the mind can focus on one single thing.
