I, Falak, used to think technology was just a tool. Something neutral. Something that simply “helps.” But over time, I realized something uncomfortable: technology doesn’t just support life anymore—it shapes it. The way we think, the way we work, even the way we rest. This is not a celebration of tech, and it’s not a …

I’ve spent countless hours on the phone with family members—and, if I’m honest, staring blankly at my own screen—trying to figure out why a “simple” device suddenly stopped working. In 2026, we are surrounded by technology that is supposed to make our lives easier, yet we often end up feeling like we’re working for our …

I remember the day I unboxed my current phone. It was lightning-fast, the apps snapped open instantly, and the battery seemed to last forever. Fast forward eighteen months, and I found myself staring at a spinning loading icon just to open my email. I felt that familiar itch to go to the store and drop …

I tried calendars, planners, and even sticky notes plastered all over my desk, but nothing truly helped until I found tools …
