Hello All!!
Well I have been trying to write about it since long but was not getting enough words to express!! Tonight I think there is possible flow again from my nodes in the brain (or heart) to write on this subject!
Interestingly, the topic I am writing on is what I am currently using to reach to all of you, technology!!
Mine has been a generation that has seen this transformation from writing letters to writing blogs, playing in sun to playing play station, roaming with friends to adding them, getting slapped from parents to not adding them on Facebook, calling from landlines to viber calls, seeing movie in a VCR to having it in a per drive and a lot many things have transformed rapidly!!
If I talk about the next generation which has changed very fast does not even realise how this transformation has happened. They all grow up having smart phones to tablets, Facebook accounts to what's app and all the technology at their disposal right from the day they are born!
But lately I have started realising that I have started feeling fatigued by so much of technology around. Technology, no doubt has made many things easy but everything in limits is good. Every thing we want in our tablets and phones now. This has added a lot more responsibility and has added tremendous amount of work pressure and social pressure for that matter.
You must check your Facebook account atleast 4-5 times a day and if you do not have a friends request or likes/comments of your status you start getting restless.
Your are under enormous pressure to keep updating your pictures for others to see rather than you yourself enjoying the place. 'I got married', 'I am going xxx place for honeymoon', 'now having kids', 'late for work today', 'you are the best dad in the world', 'constipated today'!!!! Well, this is how our lives have gone public and getting response on these kinds of daily activities has become a dreaded phenomenon!
This is a very narrow part of the over all story, we are so much into technology that a guy like me is getting tired using it. Emails, social network, smses, what's app, viber, numerous online marketplaces, app for everything, smart phones, tablets, laptops, desk tops, fablets, pen drives etc etc...
We have started detaching ourselves from the actual society and are on the verge of becoming technological slaves. The creativity of human mind is only thinking of how to make another app!
We are getting dumber day by day and so dependant on technology that if we do not have our cell phone for one day, we feel claustrophobic, we feel deprived, we feel dead!!
We are starting to forget that relations are not made on social media but by being social and meeting people, not seeing their pics.
We need to remember that technology is a tool to make our lives easy and not our life itself!
So what I want to put up is that soon a time will come that all of us will be so fatigued by this whole technological ecosystem that we will go back to being natural, go back to older ways to doing things because I do not think that the human mind has the capacity to be a slave and keep absorbing all pieces of technological crap coming its way.
Our natural ability to think is dying. When I meet people and talk to the younger ones, they have just gone crazy and dumb to the extent one cannot imagine!!
This technological shift that has happened in last 2 decades will make a tectonic shift once again due the human mind fatigue syndrome and we will, for getting peace will head to normal human ways of getting things done.
The 'real social networking' will come into place once again and the Facebook fatigue syndrome will come into play very soon, that's when we will see the decline of such websites and apps and other pieces of technology.
As I mentioned here before, that technology will exist only till it supports our lives to get easy, all the excess technology that has become our life, will slowly(or may be very fast) diminish as human beings have to realize that they are human beings and not virtual beings!!
I hope I made some sense and if you do not agree with the views, would like to hear from you at length.
Thanks for your time by logging in another piece of technology!!
