RE: Broken eye contact and future depression
Please permit me to say i you took the words right out of my mouth. I still had this discussion with a friend of mine today, reading this post makes it feel like a dejavu. Funny i fall into the mid 20's category, oh my God, our necks are constantly bent to our phones, little or no eye to eye communication, we dont want to fix we will rather replace, there is no intimacy, little or zero commitment, These issues look small now, but what? I used to be the one to flaw this kind of argument, because i used to be so unattached to mobile devices and all that, till i found steemit, and now my major communications are striving here more now. Its like an epidemic, the young, the old are all swirled up, what is this revolution! Oh dear
It is an incredible shame as I think that a lot of the beauty of being human is in the sharing of life with others at a deep level yet, the consumptive behaviours of technology has led to the consumption of human connection. We have made the people who could be our greatest loves, disposable, consumables to discard.
I hope our innovations wont bring our ruins or has it?
Question is,
We are slowly becoming human bots...quite scary
Self awareness will bring the moderation but, if most people are already blind to themselves, what chance do their kids have of learning early?
I would assume some kind of cyborg mix until we are just slowing the machines down too much and they split away from us.
I would assume some kind of cyborg mix until we are just slowing the machines down too much and they split away from us. You are most certainly right
After all is said and done, one thing im sure about is that we havent even seen anything yet, just imagine when other social media like steemit come into play, with each their cryptocurrency, there would be double the influx of people into this glued-to-the-screen-human-bot category, especially when earnings are tied to their activities on the screen. Do you see what im saying?
