We are connected.
With the advent of social media, we are now more and more connected. Connected socially, professionally and almost in all respects. From the beginning to the end of the day, we are connected. Some times we are connected during midnight nature’s call as well. WiFi at home, 4 G outside home, world is in our pocket every moment. Whose Birthday? What he is doing? What she is doing? Am I looking ugly? Is he putting on weight? blah blah blah. Thanks to thousand’s of updates that we get everyday. Our all senses are at work round the clock without fail.
Unfortunately, with such a boom in connectivity, void and vacuum is also growing. I was reading an article lately, in that article it was mentioned that a teen age girl used to get anxiety if she doesn’t check her mobile every 10 minutes. That is a void. Couple of weeks back, I saw a happy family sitting in a restaurant. They ordered food and within 2-3 minutes every one in the family was busy again with their smart devices. This is a vacuum. Everyone is so happy in display pics, but unfortunately we never know, how some one really is in the real world because data has the biggest share in our smart devices monthly bills. Some how, we are becoming slaves of these smart devices. More of a kind of a robot, being remotely run by smart devices. Some one rightly said ,Devices are getting smart and people are getting dumb. There is nothing wrong in this trend. But we need to keep this trend in check to use it fullest for our best and not become a victim of it. Rest we all know….
