Sometimes I wonder if we are really moving forward as a society, with the conviction that technological advances mean a supposed improvement, but is that really the advance or a way of massive manipulation?

Although the word manipulation is a bit strong I think it is valid for this writing. Technology and the market are reaching disproportionate levels, as society bombards us daily with advertisements, creating the desire for something material. Things that are changing from generation to generation, create the need to obtain objects of '' last model '', but are very similar to the old.

If you feel that I am heading towards the electronic devices that all die to buy, the children want to have, you are understanding what I mean, but this has always existed, only now it is taking a different path, which affects us directly in our way to live.

Currently, people are conditioned to an environment where almost all social relationships are carried out through cyberspace, leaving aside the importance and the true essence of communication. Even when we dare to meet someone in real life we often get lost in our cell phones or other electronic devices.

Losing valuable time with people that we love because of being immersed in technology seems to me regrettable, something that undoubtedly needs to be fixed in some way. I only think about a part of Plato's banquet, where it's mentioned about love and immortality, we are our environment, we live in the people we surround ourselves with and they live in us, if we do not create real links everything is reduced to nothing , we do not leave anything of us in them.

It is good to remember that the really good moments are those that do not have any kind of record, of the best moments there are no photographs, there are no tweets, because we are enjoying so much that the use of a technological device is reduced to something of less interest It is not important, and it is not necessary to prove to someone else in social networks that we are having a fun day.

Human relationships are more than a matter of immediacy, human beings are not robots, we do not react automatically, we do not process information in 1 second, we need to think, we need to live to decide and we need to feel.

An example of how it has affected us is to realize how currently all problems want to be solved immediately, and if bad luck cannot be fixed, comes anger, anger, and irritation.

Technology has changed our behavior drastically and has affected more negatively, I feel like a victim of this, and I realize that I have really changed, and my environment has changed a lot since I was little. We are beings of immediacy.
