How to Overcome Stress from Technology
iPods, iPads, Blackberries, DVRs, Kindles and more – all fascinating forms of technology.
As the technology era continues to explode, there’s something interesting that’s exploding with it. Stress.
With the increase of technology, there was supposed to be an increase in the ease of which we are able to live our daily lives. Yet, instead of making our lives easier and less stressful, we find ourselves in bondage to stress from technology.
Easier or More Stressful?
Everywhere you go, people are glued to technology like what is now called the Crackberry.
Life is getting busier and people are more stressed out than ever before.
While technology is able to make our lives easier, the misuse of technology is what’s causing stress. For example, high speed internet helps you to obtain important information is seconds. Yet, getting sucked into spending hours on the computer in the black hole of the internet leads to stress from technology that is steadily increasing.
In spite of the risk of finding yourself stressed from abuse of technology, you need not return to the ice age. There are things that can be done to keep technology from ruling your life.
Step Away From the Computer before You Have A Mental Meltdown?
Just out of courtesy, I think I should tell you that the following article is about as far from my typical writings as I can get. Quite frankly, it is nothing more than a very tired technology guy ranting and raving. Maybe a little wining too.
My entire world is about technology; computers, data communication, wireless and wired Ethernet, PDA’s, mobile devices, firewalls, security assessments, and on and on and on. I’m so addicted to technology and business that I have trouble deciding whether to read a technical manual or a good sci-fi / fantasy novel.
I love what I do and have no plans on making any changes in the foreseeable future but something as simple as checking the time of day nearly resulted in a mental nuclear meltdown this morning. This week has been considerably stressing. I have written at least eight significant proposals, performed continuous work on a report for a external security assessment, made and received way to many phone calls, and have been staying up to all hours of the night, or morning depending on how you look at it (It’s 2am on Saturday right now).

Art fairs are taking place all over the country, and are especially popular during the summer months. Affordable Art Fairs is a contemporary art fair founded by Will Ramsay in 1999. The aim of the fair is to make contemporary art accessible to everyone, not just millionaires and the well off. In 1996, Mr Ramsay opened ‘Will’s Art Warehouse’ in south west London to bridge the increasing interest in contemporary art and the London gallery scene.
By concentrating on relatively unknown artists not carrying a premium for reputation, the gallery was able to offer works from £50 – £2,500 from a stable of over 150 artists. The response to Will’s Art Warehouse encouraged him to take his approach to the next level, and in October 1999, he launched the first Affordable Art Fair in Battersea Park. 10,000 visitors took advantage of the ease of buying, breadth of choice, affordable prices and user-friendly approach.
Concise Computer Consulting of Farmington Hills Saves Their Clients from Identity Theft with On Site Computer Repair
Jeff Atto, Business Manager for Concise, noticed the uptick rate of illegal virus and malware incidents in the summer months of June and July. He explained the unusual activity that included:
Vulnerabilities in the Microsoft Windows Operating System Opening e-mails from suspicious and unknown sources with attachments Visiting websites which claim to offer “free” software, music or video downloads File sharing websites
Concise was created to help small businesses with various technological needs such as onsite computer repair, offsite data protection, disaster recovery solutions, computer repair training, and data backup services. Lately, ConcisePC has been responding to client demand for anti-virus and anti-spyware protection.
The damage to a business with a compromised informational technology system is catastrophic. With bank accounts larger than an individual’s, a small business has the responsibility of protecting the critical personal information of its customers and vendors. The result comes in the form of law suits, credit fraud and quite possibly the demise of the business itself.
Jeff Atto and the entire staff at Concise advise and educate their clients to be proactive to avoid a scenario mentioned above. “There are plenty of actions that a client can choose,” offered Jeff. “These actions are covered by our services that cost nothing compared to the devastation of a viral invasion or an illegal computer hack job.”
