RE: Whatcha doing? (a plague of over-communicating)

in #life5 years ago

I think so too. Sometimes it seems to me that we all fell into one huge trap. Initially, technologies were created in order to simplify and improve our communication. Yes, now we don’t have to write letters and wait until the addressee receives them from the postman; now we don’t have to call another city and ask the operator to connect us with this person.
But what do we see? Despite all the "benefits" of our civilization, we have become much further. We are alone, although we have friends. We are alone a million times, because the letters on the screen are not yet friendship and not relationships.

Sort:

That is so, so beautifully put. You're so right, we're alone, not in spite of the technology but because of it. Because now we have an excuse not to be with people anymore...

Thank you for commenting!
