We are getting connected more and more to the virtual world, and are forgetting the real one. We crave for likes on Facebook and Twitter, we ignore the love of our nearest ones. We get addicted to the action and arcade games and still don’t learn how to play real ones.
Anyone is reachable any time of day or night through their cell phones. Mobile technology has without doubt shrunken the whole world palm-size, and taken communication to a never seen before level of reach and ease. Mobile phones have made it possible for us to be in touch with our loved ones and friends at all times, to communicate with everyone with incredible ease and to get timely help in emergency situations, such as being lost alone in a remote place or when missing a bus or train. Before the advent of cell phones, we had no way of letting people know if we are delayed due to unavoidable circumstances such as traffic jams or buses/trains not arriving on time. Mobile phones have provided a way to provide constant updating of our status to concerned individuals.
Our lives are totally dependent upon smartphones/cellphones. In the absence of one, we are bored . Curiousity and need makes us indulge in more and more cellphone activities, however we don’t involve ourselves in any activities where physical and mental presence is accepted and expected.
We see, parents are allowing children to use their phones, when they are tired after their daily jobs. Children are getting addicted to video games. Drivers getting distracted, texting while driving. A 2006 research in Utah reveals that the level of impairments caused by using phones while driving is same as drunk driving.
Mobile phone users are getting highly introverted and love their own company very much. They love to be undisturbed by the physical contacts.People are disturbed when their parents ask for help.
You see, as there are so many good things attached to the social and cultural development, there are so many worsening courses too. Smartphones aren’t bad. Their addiction is bad.
Stay safe. Jai Hind!
