| Ielts Essay - Hobbies and Technology |
With technology influencing almost every walk
of life, some have started suggested extending the involvement of this in even
the past-time activities though there are some who hold contrasting views. Even
I support the latter opinion: some past-times need not be dependent on
technology.
The narrative of involvement modern
techniques in free time activities rests on a commonly held belief: use of
modern innovation of practicing one's past-times can help save time, money and
efforts. It has become extremely easy to make resources of past-times available
at one's disposal: one does not need to travel to distant locations for
collecting certain materials, as in case of amateur collectors of various
items; and one does not also need to wait for the things to be made available
at a certain place, like ones going shopping as a part of leisure time.
Moreover, today, recent forays into the realm
of recreation and free time activities have come in as a respite for most of
those who can seldom spare time for anything except their work: now such
enthusiasts, carrying some kind of hobby, need not deprive themselves of this pleasure
since they can practice their past-times in parts as per their convenience.
Nevertheless, there are those who deride the
inclusion of modern means into the pastimes: they feel that this new
development is dampening the exploratory skills of humans, a natural instinct.
Everything becomes so tad easy and predictable, when people use modern methods,
that excitement tends to fade away. For instance, use of modern rock climbing
techniques and tools has killed the very spirit of adventure what this activity was known for.
Henceforth, influence of modern means and
tools in the sphere of pastimes is undesirable, as it would mean adding just
another routine to mundane.
