RE: Is technology making us lazy? Are smartphones good for us? Are all social networks in fact ANTI-social? Is all this taking us in the wrong direction? "It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity."— Albert Einstein

in #life7 years ago

I love it because I always talk about how this social media and technology is destroying humanity, even though I know majority people will dissagree with me and that is fine, this is just my opinion. We became lazy, comfortable which is stopping us to keep on growing, learning and stepping out to the world, we have no respect, we forgot how to communicate and care or help others, we love the phone more than people around us, we became like these zombies lost in the phones and we are becoming more stupid since we don't use our brain anymore because we rely on the phones to do everything for us, like tell us where to go, we don't have to remember anything anymore since the phone will remind us, we can't talk or have normal conversation with people because we can just text.
We don't look around and see what is going on around us, we don't live our lives anymore because we are too busy checking out what others are doing or what they have and like I said the worst thing is that we are killing humanity.
Technology is improving fast and greatly and people love it because it is fast and easy but I believe it is destroying humanity. What happened to having normal conversation and looking into peoples eyes, what happened to the human touch, what happened to laughter and just enjoying your family and friends without looking at your phone every 5 minutes, what happened to helping others or caring for others? Why is there so much stress, depression, unhappiness, sickness? It's all about the technology that does everything for us, super fast and easy, so the world is in fast speed with no one having time to enjoy their life, but just chasing that dollar, we have no time for our health, to go for daily walks because we have to get to someplace fast in a car, stressing while driving.
I have hate, love relationship with the social media but mostly hate. I love that I can work from home because of Steemit, and my doTERRA Wellness business. I love that I can chat and meet people around the world, but it does also really stress me out because I feel like I need the human touch, the human love, the real in person conversation where you can feel eachothers hearts and soul, I need to be outside enjoying the nature and help out someone in need.
Now I'm just everywhere because I don't even know how to really explain how I feel about it, all I know it does make me feel sad because I feel like I'm surrounded with bunch of zombies who just hide behind the phones.

Yeah we are connected kinda, we talk and check with our loved ones and it sometimes ends there. Its like one big thing combined with good & bad and we are here to decide where to next... Its such a huge topic!
