Hi Hive,
If I’m being honest, life without technology is something I’ve never truly experienced with myself but I can imagine it, and it feels both peaceful and difficult at the same time.

Technology is part of my everyday routine for me. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I reach out for is my phone. I check messages, scroll through updates, and sometimes even plan my day from there. Now, imagining a life without that feels so strange to me. If technology don't truly exist, then my mornings would be silent. No notifications, no distractions, but just me, my thoughts, and whatever is happening around me. I think that kind of silence would be at first uncomfortable, but I might begin to appreciate it over the time.
One of the biggest changes in my life would be communication. Because presently, I can talk easily with friends, families, clients and even strangers online without any stress.
But in the absence of communication, I would have to rely on physical meetings like traveling even if it's a long distance or long-distance letters. And that means I would be more intentional with my relationships and would cherish every conversation more because it wouldn’t be as easy to just check in anytime I want.
Being someone who writes content and is trying to build something for myself, I know technology plays a huge role in my journey. But without it, sharing my ideas with the world would be much harder or doesn't even exist at all without technology.
Platforms that help me express myself, connect and reach people wouldn’t exist. I would probably have to rely on physical interactions like maybe speaking to people in my community or writing in notebooks that only a few people might can even read. It would feel limiting, but at the same time, it might push me to be more creative in different ways.
A Life without technology would also affect how I work. Things would be slow and more physically stressful. Tasks that I should complete in minutes today might take me hours or even days to get it done. But I also feel like I would develop more patience and resilience without technology. There wouldn't be much pressure to keep up with everything happening online since there wouldn't be no online world to begin with.
I would have to adjust a lot when it also comes to entertainment since there is videos, no social media, no quick escape from boredom. I would have to probably spend more time outside, connect more with people around me, and find joy in simple things like conversations, games, or even just observing life around me. Though it sounds simple and easy to say, but I know it would require a shift in mindset to do that.
And on the other hand, I can’t overlook the negativities. Life would be tough in so many ways qnd most especially in areas like health, safety, and access to information. Technology has really made many things possible that most of us now take for granted.
In the end, I feel like a life without technology would strip everything down right to the basics. It wouldn't be much convenient, but maybe more real and would pushed me to slow down, to pause, to connect deeply, and to appreciate those things I often overlook. Even though I would not choose to live without technology completely and thinking about it now reminds me to not let it control my life.
