Have you read all the questions above ? Please also read the questions that are not directly applicable to you. It may be that you already know many of these facts , you are doing them accordingly. So very nice. If not, do n't worry if it doesn't apply to you. These questions are not a test! There are no right or wrong answers. There is no good or bad answer!

It is enough if these questions make you think a little. All these talks offer a glimpse into our own lives and our own use of new technologies. As mentioned above , the tools we have are overwhelming, how we use them is important.

Our complaint that our child is engrossed in the mobile phone day and night , may be true , but it may be that we have given him the motivation to do so! We are worried that he will not get into the habit of looking horizontally or playing games on the phone , but instead of such content , we have never given him the option of what he should see , what he should do on the smartphone!

There is embarrassment in the office that the team is not delivering the expected output , but we as team leaders make no effort to instill in them the enthusiasm to learn more about their work or things even remotely related to it !

We may be annoyed that the elders of the family forward without thinking on WhatsApp , but why should we not do that , we don't have time or patience to calmly talk about who is harmed by it!

It is worth remembering again and again that technology is for us , we are not for technology. Many parents ask this writer what sites they should visit or what apps they should use for their children to progress well in studies . Unfortunately , there is no such site, app, or herb! In many ways , with many careful efforts , guidance, the right path is found.

We have to start ourselves.
