There are all kinds of addictions and dependencies, from drugs and alcohol to cleanliness and order, and in a changing world, in terms of technology expertise, to be informed and have the newest equipment or appliances, can cause Rather than a mere curiosity or whim, vulva is an addiction.
According to the Royal English Academy, an addiction is defined as: "The habit of who lets himself be dominated by the use of one or more toxic drugs, or the inordinate affection to certain games or behavior ( www.rae.es ). And in many cases, this obsessive attitude can be seen in friends, relatives or acquaintances, so it is important to know the topic to determine if you are in the presence a technology addict or if you yourself fall into this group.
Computers, cell phones, music players, kitchen utensils, home alarms, cameras and video recorders, televisions, video players, embedded systems of sound and nonsense like beverage coolers USB cable are now in stores, whether physical or virtual, and are artifacts by which addicted to technology they crave to the point of investing all their pay on them.
In the specific case of Tachira, Venezuela, being addicted to technology becomes an even more complicated, since the new technological inventions takes to get to local shops, and when these do, are no longer the latest or the most modern, therefore, these addicts are turning to Internet shopping or traveling to countries like U.S., Europe or some of the most innovative in technology, Asian countries like Japan .
Otto Rosales, a sociologist and professor at the Universidad de Los Andes (ULA), is the problem of addiction as "a new language that society has" and makes reference as any new language, you have to know and know how to handle it. The theme of technology you can not escape, since it is the future for all, but you have to know what the most appropriate way to treat it so I would not fall into total dependency.
In countries such as Venezuela, have to be extra careful when it comes to cutting edge technology, as it is believed that something is very new when it really is old in other countries, continues to explain Rosales. And sometimes, the perception of the use of these new techniques do not change with the speed of the media and use new technologies with old technology.
Táchira seen in the lot is the fascination with technology, says Rosales, there is a seduction for all that is new, the latest, who owns the latest technology will admired by those who can not buy, people are paralyzed and was surprised with this news.
In his opinion, we must be alert to all these new languages, because people still have not finished digesting them, and believe that we are not ready for such technology.
contrary position of Victor Riascos, who has devoted much of his life to be immersed in new technologies, working for many years in service, going to create their own digital media company, which currently is responsible for installing and maintaining computer equipment, home or business alarms, among other things, a certain part of the population of San Cristóbal.
admit an addiction is not easy, however, Riascos agree that I love being at the forefront of technology, know the newer laptops or home computers, cell phones that have not yet come to Venezuela, alarms that become new in a city like San Cristobal, including other things.
"I try to stay informed, it helps me make more sales to my clients, I have to show the last thing you bought in order to continue selling as new "Riascos said. In your business sells technology to those who are not as informed on their own, and the only way to bring these artifacts is Their possession, and can display the live action and not just images or video.
Every time you sell a new laptop before, which does not have a life greater than 2 or 3 months, but with the sale and a little more, he manages to buy the latest, the same goes with video cameras or photo. Since being an addict to technology is not economical.
This addiction, which years ago was not as strong as now, is growing at incalculable, since every day there are more facilities for equipment, and more companies take more products to the street. Our future is full of technological advances, can not escape, however, must be controlled at the time of the purchases, to avoid falling into addiction.
