what is the positive usage of electronic devises? (besides shiurim)
So, I suppose you’ll be forgoing the use of an MRI machine if the need arises? Or a smoke/CO detector? Or any of the other life-saving devices that we have?
And, keep in mind, you can’t just say “okay, we’ll keep those but get rid of others” since, very often, the technology from one type of item (which may not be necessary) is used as a model or built upon to produce other devices (which may well be necessary).
In the end, however, all these devices have positive purposes. Just because *you* may not appreciate being able to make a phone call wherever you does not, in and of itself, make it not positive.
do we really NEED all these devises?
Do you need a car? Do you need a camera? Do you need a microwave? Do you need an air-conditioner? The answer to all the above is “no.” And yet, we have them and I’ve never heard anyone speak out against them.
Life isn’t only about needs — and there is nothing wrong with having something even though it’s not a “need.”
