the 2000s had us all Sinking in the delusion of What is called "technology" ,which made us all lonesomely connected.
I think none of us will ever forget the time when people used to talk to each other, the time when people used to see each other or the time when people used to listen to each other… Don’t get me wrong, they sure still do, but at the same time, they don’t.
There was definitely a time, long ago , when you would have to sit at your doorstep for hours every day, Longingly waiting for a written letter to arrive. Only then, would you spend other hours writing back and sending your reply. At that time, friendships and relationships in general were not about instant messaging, profile updating and virtually active social lives.
For years and years, it would have never popped in anybody’s mind that you had to sit in front of a bunch of cables or hold a mass of copper to play a game. No need for a ball or a doll or some friends to go out with. During this epoch, nobody believed a day would come in which the leisure of story-telling is transmitted by a box slimmer every day, rather than reading or listening to your old grandmother while putting your head on her soulful lap, imagining every detail from a floor crack to an epic battle.
Family meetings were not done by the means of videoconferencing. Believe it or not, once someone’s life gets punctuated by any kind of event, people didn’t use to post condolences, or text birthday and new year wishes. People didn’t have the opportunity to dial or dial back the ones they hold dear.
Away back in time, long distances were also crossed for education’s sake… among other things. For there was this time when we visited each other more, somehow life wasn’t about air-conditioned travelling , only horse riding for a few and footing for the rest.
However, that time is gone. Another time has come, a time when acts of rebellion come down to online articles, picture-sharing and status-changing… and in the other hand, empty streets,Semi-absence of kinship and silent anger. A time when we slideshow problems and give them no longer attention. A time when we hashtag issues and think we solved them. A time when regramming became solidarity.
Let's go back to the year of 2007,when this thing called" iPhone " was first released. it wasn't of a big importance to have an iPhone or another brand. it was just about having a phone. but then revolutionarly things started getting more seducing and people begun drowning in this big sea which you can call 'Iphonism' .people save parts of their yearly salaries anticipating and eagerly waiting for the up coming iPhone "number" . so the story goes mysteriously ,having no answer to what's behind the next murk.
