A Time for Technology

Technology has taken over. It's not as if we mind. Moderns have a love affair with technology. 

But if we are entranced, we are also enmeshed. The downside of technology is real and painful, and it is the far-reaching tentacles of technology – directly or indirectly – that have caused the majority of our work-life problems. In the past, there was a closure on the end of every day...It was called night. There also existed a closure on the end of every week – it was called Sabbath. 

One rabbi suggests that the Sabbath is a day to stop our work, and it also is a day to stop thinking about our work. In Scriptures, the faithful not only disconnected for a Sabbath every week, but they also came apart. If we wish a healthy work-life balance, we will need to confront technology's hold on our lives. – Richard A. Swenson
