There is a saying in Tamil. ஆடற காலும் பாடற வாயும் ஓயாது. People who dance and sing cannot stop doing them. The saying holds good for all professions. To be more apt, I find it difficult to stop using internet. Any queries, any doubts my fingers type google.com.
Doesn't it reduce the thinking power? I remember I used to solve many puzzles in no time during my school days. Now, I could not think beyond. Thinking out of box just disappeared from the mind without my knowledge.
How to make a crispy potato curry? Google it. How to mend a worn out dress? Google helps. How to design your salwar? Google shows. My goodness how my mom survived without google. Cann't imagine.
After realising the side effects, I decided not to use internet atleast during week ends. I should cook on my own. I should not see the youtube rhymes. I should teach Kaarthik from books not from internet. I did practice it. Believe me it helps.
It gave me confidence that I know something. I can live without instahelp. I could do a nice rangoli without searching the internet. Have to agree internet gives information the second you require it. But definitely reduces thinking capacity and creativity.
Moral of the story, use internet to showcase your creativity.
I don't know how long I can try my this. Will the saying ஆடற காலும் பாடற வாயும் ஓயாது be true in my case too???
True ka. Once you have learnt, it will be there in your mind. You will recollect when you need it... rightly said, we got addicted to google.com
