The world we live in today leaves us surrounded by technology; technology to relieve us from stress, some adds to our daily stress levels and some are even there for health and safety reasons, either way, we have become very reliant on Technology and in fact you almost forget life before technology.
I was thinking recently, there was a time when my partner woke up and the first thing she did was give me kiss or say good morning (cheesy I know), but recently thanks to the wonderful world of technology, she has a Blackberry device for work, now the first thing she does is check back logs of emails sent from 11pm the previous night. Â To be fair to her, I now do the same; I used to turn over and say good morning, now the first thing I do is check how well GadgetsBoy website is performing, Twitter feeds, emails, Tech feeds for latest updates etc.
So the point is, at what point do we start to realise we should maybe take a day or two with our loved ones, away from the daily life Technology like gaming consoles, work mobile phones and what ever else there is. Â I have never thought of doing so, because even when I go on vacation, my emails are never turned off and my MacBook Pro travels with me.
Thanks to Hilton Hotels, they sent me away from Technology to visit one of their hotels at St. Georges Park at Burton; such a lovely place, and you can check out some of the images below. Â It was a lovely suite with a peaceful environment. Â Although it was to get away from Technology and spend time with loved one, I still managed to spot the iHome sound system next to the bed for docking my iPhone but luckily it was for the iPhone 4 not my iPhone 5 so I got away with it a little.
After my lovely, peaceful stay I was stil left with the question, is it possible? if your life or work revolves or involves Technology, is it possible to get away from it for at least a day?
