Tempus Fugit is a latin expression meaning “time flees”, more commonly translated as “time flies”. It can be argued we live in the crazy world of technology. Time flies and there is more and more technology in our life. Currently, people can hardly imagine lack of internet, mobile phones or computers. From my perspective people, especially young have become addicted to those and many similar items.  I agree that technology can bring a lot of benefits but nconveniences too.   

I am old fashion lady and I believe in face to face conversation. I personally do not like mobile phones and I have never fancied buying one. However, it was such a social pressure so I eventually decided to purchase it. As a consequence, friends, family and my employer have my mobile number.  All of them struggle to make me pick up the phone and they are very angry and upset when I fail to do it.  Once, I even received an e mail from friend who wanted to visit me in hospital. He suspected I had an accident because I did not answer the phone for three days.  This was a proper madness…

 Using metaphor, my mobile and I have stormy relationship. It sometimes stays for a week at my draw unit.  We also have quite days as I regularly neglect to feed mobile’s battery so it sleeps completely exhausted in my bag…  I like it in this way because my life does not depend on my mobile. I know, some people feel unconscious if they forget or loose their phones…they even treat them as a person or a friend. I do not and I am proud of it…
