BlackBerry Outage – It’s A Good Thing

Devices like BlackBerrys and Cell Phones have become so integral to people’s lives that it is hard to imagine a day or even an hour without these high tech gadgets. Undoubtedly, technology has given us so much, but at the same time it has taken out some simple things of life. Being alone without any interruptions from any outside sources is one of them and there are times when you just want to be alone.

Millions of BlackBerry users felt what it likes to be without wireless email for the first time across North America. Due to a system outage, BlackBerry Users were not able to access their email from Tuesday night till Wednesday morning. Although this outage stranded lots of people, I think it’s a good thing to have once in a while. Do you remember when was the last time you did not have to worry about checking your email or you answering you cell phone? It’s scary how dependent we’ve become on these things and it is high time we set aside moments only for ourselves. If you go on vacations, try not to take your cell phone, BlackBerry or laptop with you. An ideal vacation should be totally free of regular interuptions. When I can’t afford to take vacations, I spend a day in the park or at the bookstore without worrying about my daily stuff. You will be surprised to see how invigorating these simple Not To Do items can be. So next time your BlackBerry stops working, don’t worry, enjoy evert moment because it wont last long.
