Is the technology enhanced our focus on learning or distracted our focus from the learning?

 Hello, my fellow followers,

After a long time, I have got some free time. Well, congrats on my new job as a lecturer at a reputed university in Thailand. So many wondering why I am still in Thailand after a decade I spent here. The answer is simple: I love to be here because of their traditions, and their heritage makes me fall in love with this country much more. 

Let me come to the point. As a lecturer and a fellow computer geek, I always ask the question myself. Whether technology is made us focus or distract us? However, I have two specific answers to the question: Yes and No. 

Every single thing in this universe has two sides or more than two sides. Likewise, technology has also had it's good and bad. Let me share my perspectives about the good side of technology. Technology brought all the complete information into our hands. Whenever we need some information, reference, or whatever, we have all of it in our hands. We can communicate nook and corner of this earth, predict the weather, and understand third-world countries' cultures or traditions while staying under our shades. Technology gives us the whole medium of a cozy, friendly, and private environment.

Meanwhile, We are facing the focussing problem too. Technology has made a significant impact on the good side as well as on the opposite side too. Nowadays, children are facing the problem of distraction. For example, When a student surfs the internet for some information, he/she will distract easily by funny videos, sci-fi thumbnail pictures, or porn. Technology has brought one of the worst nightmares to the present generation. University of Michigan survey stated that Facebook brings depression and Mental health illnesses to their users. The overflow of information makes the user lack focus and is a more significant cause of depression without reason.


Like a coin, everything has two sides. All we should keep a balance on it. Otherwise, It won't bring any good deeds from it.

Hello everyone,  How you all doing my fellow folks,  Last weekends, we ( me and my mate) went to hindu temple near to the Khon kaen. I astonished by the sculptures and the architectural work. It brought me the memories of the temple in India.   It was so pleasant time for us to do the meditations. It's constructed before six years by the Thai person. When i asked monk in there, about that why he's so interested to devote himself for Hindu religious. His answer was quite mesmerised me, he said that religious is a matter of think but devotion or devoted wer matter of perspective. He continues that he got his inner peace while he devoted to Hindi gods.  Even though I'm from the Hindu based family, I always had a perspective about all religions and their Gods. For me the Gods is far beyond power, we used to get the power by using the tools such as religious or religion. I would like to share you all about how that place was , when you enter the dome of temple you ca...

Mental health is akin to a secret garden within us—a lush, vibrant landscape where our thoughts, emotions, and well-being intertwine. It serves as the compass guiding our journey through life, influencing how we perceive the world, handle stress, and connect with others. In this narrative exploration, we’ll meander through the winding paths of mental well-being, discovering eight strategies to transform your inner garden into a sanctuary of resilience, joy, and clarity. Get Restful Sleep : Imagine sleep as the gentle rain that nourishes your mental garden. It’s not merely about recharging your physical batteries; it’s also essential for your mind. During deep slumber, your brain tidies up, processes memories, and recalibrates emotions. Prioritize sleep by creating a soothing bedtime ritual—dim the lights, sip chamomile tea, and let your thoughts drift like paper boats on a tranquil pond. Practice Gratitude : Gratitude acts as the sunlight that warmly bathes your garden. Each day, pause...
