Going off Digital Is Good

I believe technology is made for us not vice versa and I also believe true life exist beyond digital world. Take any invention, there are its good uses and there are the bad ones and same is the case with global with digitization. There is no comparison of hanging around with friends and doing a group chat. There is no comparison between going to your friend’s house with flowers in hands (or a crate of beer, yeah!) on his birthday and wishing over his FB wall.

Many studies have shown that since smart phones have been in our hands we have more disconnected from people than we have connected. We have become less emotional and impatient. We remember things less. Social media has played bigger role in that. People use social media to find out what going in others lives, it’s more informative than share feelings. You see your FB page and figure out how much content is there which is relevant and useful or worth spending time on at least. 

Archie’s had also launched e cards but failed terribly why? because there was no personal touch in that. We all see beautiful countries, places and food on HD television but take my words its way more amazing seeing and doing it physically. There are poisons by using we die instantly and there are some toxic things which works in the same way but very slowly, over use of TV and digital things are like that. All these things takes us into some another world which if more alike fake than reality.

The worst is we sleep after checking the updates on FB and What’s App and when we get up in morning we do the same as first thing. These all small small habits are killing us. Just imagine in stead of doing all these we spend first few hours of the day enjoying the nature having a cup of coffee in hand and restoring our powers for the things that matters most. Our daily activities and small acts converts into habits and habits construct our attitude and a man is made by his attitude.

Don’t be misguided that I am against going digital and social platforms and this is the topic on we can discuss day and night. The thing I want to say here is simple that true life exist beyond digital, these things can make you happy for shorter period of time but don’t fall in the trap of these things and remember your friends are waiting for you in a party tonight. Be Alive!
