Cell phones.
Yes! 'Cells' these are; in which we have been trapped. In this era of modernity, we find ourselves locked in these self created cages. Isolated entirely from the world in real; the world in existence.
I'm not against the use of any electronic device. I appreciate their phenomenal capabilities downright; I myself is pursuing engineering in electronics and communication! These devices have blessed us by letting us do almost anything that hits our mind, within few milliseconds. It's a wonder. A revolutionary time. The terms are getting more and more dynamic. With terms, my gesture is of human behaviour, social interactions, relations and their parameters.
The utmost irony lies in the term 'social media'. This word forces me to rethink what being social is! Is it to disconnect socially and connect with nothing but objects! Hurray! We are in a process of generating an entire species of robots. These robots interfacing with electronic devices in the most skillful of ways.
Nevertheless, the so called internet, phones, tablets have widely alleviated myriads of our problems; but have paved way for far more and severe issues. This powerful technology has crippled us and have typically bruised our identities. The more we connect virtually, the more we disconnect in real. Our lives are being shaped into cages, notwithstanding our total oblivion. We aren't unable to speak even a few lines while confronting a person with whom we'd text and chat for hours! The situation is so worse that if I wanna talk to anyone who is sitting beside me, it's highly probable that he is engulfed in talking to someone else virtually, and I get a cold or even no response. If I need to convey anything to him/her, I'd get faster response on a chatting app! You can get the proof anywhere anytime. While crossing roads, while being in a bus, while being in a group; you can easily find 4 out of every 5 persons' head tilted down and eyes glued to some illuminant screen. Something is seriously wrong, isn't it? Humanity is in the verge of extinction and robots are soon to replace them.
I agree the technology has done wonders and will keep doing so. All that is to be done is, we must not hand over the control from us to these pieces of objects. Efficient use is what is the need of the hour. Else our hearts will get narrower, minds broader, and bodies will just be bodies. Awaken. Listen to your soul. It wants to dance in the rain, talk endlessly, run in the ground, sing in the shower or as simple as talking to the person beside you. Do all that you love, love all that you do. Revive your lost interests. After all, plugging earphones is the only hobby left with 90% of the persons.
In the moments of rest, of silences; in which your first impulse is checking your cell phones; mull rather on your wishes. Just begin doing it. Let the cell phone be your need, not your desire. I might sound big, being small, but try this for "21 days" (the magic number which develops any new habit in any person). You'll feel utterly refreshed and literally free out of the bonds of these prisons and bring life into your lives.
P.S.: Do respond, if you find me right to the least.
