Take a minute and think about your daily routine. How big of a role does technology play? Could you go an entire day without using one piece of technology? Could you go an entire week, or even a month? While everyone tends to criticize our society’s addiction to using technology, what would our lives be like without it? At this point we’re too far gone to even consider going back to the old days of pigeon mail and walking barefooted, up hill in the snow everywhere.
How about we stop complaining about how technology is ruining our social skills, and making us lazy and fat and actually do something about it. Here’s an idea, how about we start using technology to address a few of these issues.
Since the modernization of our society our work load was greatly increased; we no longer have the time or the energy to go out for an evening stroll, or to cook an extravagant but healthy meal. Most of us are lucky to even have a few seconds to relax and do something we enjoy thus contributing to obesity.
Studies over the years have proven that keeping a food journal can help us lose weight; however, how many people actually want to carry around a little book, record everything we eat, and then later look up the calories for each food. There is now an easy solution to this problem.
Today there are various applications for your trendy iPhone, or Droid that allow you to simply record each food you eat throughout the day and it will record the calories for you and then calculate your total calories for the day.
