Gadget Technology Development
What comes to your mind when you hear the words Nokia, Samsung, and Apple?
I'm sure you will imagine a company that produces sophisticated Gadgets.
But do you know there are interesting stories from the three companies.
The first is Apple: Founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne in a room. Now Apple is one of the most respected electronics companies. Apple retail stores can be found almost all over the world, but it turns out that in their country, America, and 6 states do not have Apple retail stores.
The second is Samsung.
Before being very successful with its Smartphone, Samsung actually produced noodles in 1960, after that Samsung entered the electronics business. Their first product release was a black and white television. Currently, Samsung has managed to sell 215 million mobile phones, surpassing other brands in its market.
Next Nokia.
At the beginning of its formation in 1865, it was not a cellphone manufacturing company. At that time Nokia was a paper manufacturing company. While the first cellphone released by Nokia was in the 1980s.
That is the development of technology, indeed from the beginning which is as big as it is, like wanting to throw an animal, until later, maybe tomorrow who knows, just like that on the tongue, hello!
Can communicate directly, who knows? In the past, all cards were inserted until the antenna was long. If now it is sophisticated, everything is easily connected.
If we talk about it, it has also happened, when there is a gadget between us, then we forget who is around us. Honestly, I used to be a victim of gadgets. For example, being invited to eat together, or hang out together. When we come to meet, when eating, we want to have lunch together, or have coffee together, everyone is busy with their respective cellphones.
Yes, in the end, those who are close become distant, those who are far become close like that. Until one time I made a game with my friends, "Come on, put all your cellphones in a basket, there's a small basket like that, right? In the end, he couldn't stand it at all, he had to pay, pay for the coffee at that time, because he lost. That means it was so important, right, he couldn't hold himself back, not to accept the call, or whatever was on his cellphone, right.
Believe it or not, now I don't have a single game on my cellphone. Before joining Steemit, I used to play games, but I wasn't addicted. I played them during my work break, while drinking coffee, for about 20 minutes, then I went back to work.
Gadgets actually have a lifespan, their lifespan is up to 2 years. Well, usually the onslaught of new items from the same brand, before 2 years have passed. New promotional expenses have started. Then the deadline is a bit because we are in Indonesia, also in America and so on. Finally, a new one is ready in about a year.
I usually just skip it, I'll just wait, if it's 2 years, the cellphone is 2 years old, it's time to change it, okay I'll change it. But actually since yesterday I wanted to change it, but remembering, and considering the price of steem, and sbd not getting better, I was forced to wait. Because my cellphone is hard to type on, you know, it's an old cellphone😁
Sometimes when just to make one post, I have to type for 5 hours. That's for the normal paragraph length, which I usually post, and it takes up a lot of my time. I even have to skip work when I'm typing. That's why I hope that the price of sbd and steem will return to the way it was when I first got to know Steemit. I want to change my cellphone quickly, to make it easier for me to type. Usually the advantage of that is, when I've changed it, it's already the perfect version, right? Gadget players, right?
Talking about technological developments, especially gadgets, are we focusing on cellphones? With a cellphone or smartphone. Of course it can change communication patterns in families and society. Also change life patterns, or lifestyles in terms of community consumption.
In this case, in my opinion, don't let Satan occupy space in your life, as the scholars unite. Because something that is beyond need is called the devil's space. For example, we are in one house together, there are 6 rooms. Maybe only 2 rooms are used, the 4th room is for the devil's space. Likewise, unless there are adopted children, there are siblings, it is utilized.
Likewise with gadgets, because we should not just change the features a little, then change. Even though it's just adding this feature, this feature. I apologize in this case, I salute the Koreans. There is a company manager, his cellphone is on a rubber strap, meaning it is insulated. It means it's so old-fashioned, even though he is a manager. Let alone buying a cellphone, the factory can be bought. But what I mean here is, what's the point. Because sometimes we do something we don't need, for example people taking selfies. It's not necessarily that he was printed for life just for selfies.
The cellphone is actually used for communication, but now it's reversed, the person is considered the camera, this is strange. Maybe for tomorrow there must be a bathroom, there must be a refrigerator, there must be a toilet, everything is there, it changes function. That means in the end we have to think about the benefits, and our own abilities, of course to have it.
Back to children, many of us forget to educate children by making fairy tales and stories. I'm sorry, later in the study of child development psychology, stories are an extraordinary portion for forming a child's character. Unfortunately, fairy tales were when I was little, there were fairy tales at bedtime.
Fairy tales have a moral message, fairy tales are something. Now where are people reading fairy tales to children, instead they are given gadgets so they don't fuss, they are given gadgets. If people say, "Oh, smartphones can also be a learning material, because we browse all sorts of things, look for information, utilize information from browsing", people can also make excuses like that, right? Yes, but it does eliminate the side, actually there is a side beyond control. Please excuse me for all sorts of things, trafficking and all sorts. Some on Facebook, sometimes people can be run away, even please excuse me, it eliminates ethics. For example, speaking in Islam must be face to face. So if I am here, for example, I am called, I don't just turn my head, my whole body must be facing, and ethical. It must be like a blind person when called.
A blind person when called, he will look for the direction of the voice. Well, sometimes people talk, who is he talking to, who is he looking at. What is seen is a gadget, but he talks, for example, someone asks
Yes,,, where are you from? From behind. Where are you going?
Want to go to the front of the house. Have you eaten?
If not, die!
That's what happens, if we chat with people who are busy with their gadgets. In the Qur'an it is stated:
"And, if you obey most people on this earth, they will surely lead you astray from the path of Allah SWT, they are nothing but following mere speculation, and they are nothing but lying to Allah SWT".
[Al-Qur'an. "Surah Al-An' Am : 116]
When my friends already had sophisticated cellphones, I was still using a dumb cellphone, its function was only for SMS and calling. Meanwhile, my friends already had BB, coincidentally at that time BB was hits . Then I was once told something like,
How come in this day and age, you're still using a cellphone?
But I just let it be. So I thought, being different is something that's special, being different is cool. Because physically I'm already very different, right? So being uniform, being the same as other people, what's the difference, what's special about it. But precisely when we are different from other people, it means there is something special about you.
But now, the development has changed, different from my life before. Nowadays it seems impossible, nowadays there are no gadgets among us. Because everything is already in that one object. We want to watch movies there, want to listen to music there, want to read the news there. So it's difficult, how is it?
Now, everyone is using a power bank, because they need it so much, if necessary, the power bank should be as big as a shoe, so that it lasts longer. The needs used to be SP2, namely clothing, food, shelter, now SP3, clothing, food, shelter, and power bank. Now also temptation, if in the past it was wealth, power, women. Now it is added again, namely quota. In the past, gadgets were said, until there was a statement that distanced those who were close to become far, so now it is the opposite again with today's political issues, those who are far instead, because the conversation from the comments can't be stopped. I quote there are words that I quote, I visualize them.
We can be happy without getting drunk, we can imagine without drugs, we can fantasize, daydream
Well, this gadget problem , we can also smile without a selfie, meaning with togetherness with parents, children physically, or in analog games, and that is considered charity, your smile to your brother. But your smile on your cellphone is not charity. So don't, just smile when you want to be photographed, so for example if you meet someone, it's just like that,
Well, wait a minute, I want to take a photograph first
So how to deal with it, first don't be a maniac. So it was alluded to by Sitos Situmorang.
The Moon Above the Grave The moon actually doesn't need to shine on people who are already in the supernatural realm, but those here are already in their graves. One verse is now very famous, how it is satirized. And this is our current situation.
Let's be wise in using gadgets, and take advantage of it Attitude. Gadgets provide many benefits, but also negative influences. So how do we manage them so that gadgets do not control us, but we manage the benefits ourselves, but we use gadgets to get closer to God, hopefully it will be beneficial 'at.
Greetings always compact.
