Every technological development has an opportunity cost because once we spend even part of our day using a technology we once did not use, some of the things we once did with our time we no longer do.
(T. David Gordon, Why Johnny Can't Preach, Kindle location 564)
For example, if I'm watching TV, I don't have that time to read a book. This is not inherently a bad thing, but something about which we should be aware. My point is not to avoid technology - e.g. we must write letters rather than email - but that we should be conscious of how we are using our time.
