Few days ago my son asked me a question "Why Am I always on phone?
For a moment I was just stunned and realized that I am spending so much time on these gadgets. Internet, tablets, computer and so on. We are getting closer socially to outside world rather with our own families. I read so many studies which are proving that how everyone of us are being affected by this mobile revolution. Few years ago when there is any get together, people used to interact with each other more but now in any gathering no matter where ever it is, I mean even in a mosques, even at janaza gathering, people are more into their phones. Physically present and mentally miles and miles away. Even at homes, at food times.. our cell phone or tablet is there and we are still using it. In bathrooms, in our beds.. everywhere. Few days ago I was reading an article about a family. Every Friday evening they shut down their cell phones/tablets and don?t switch on till Monday morning. Reason being they realized they have lost the family fun time.
The technology has made people outside our homes closer and made the close ones far and far. We cant just throw away the technology but I think we need to think little deeper how we can better manage. We get into panic mode when we realize we left our phone at home. We ALL are totally into Mobile use OCD.
The reason of the thread is, did anyone realize this thing? I mean how anyone controlling this obsession and how successful one is?. Lets share ideas.
