Technology DISCONNECTS us from reality.

Every day we can see how a new smart phone is launched to the market, a new video game, new computers per day, technology advances but we have to think: Does technology disconnect us ?, good question since we think that all the advances modern with technology and social networks we believe that we connect much more but the reality is different.

Nowadays it is very easy with people who are on the other side not only of the country but also of the world and we can make video calls in real time, share in social networks images and other things that make us think that we are connected with people, but as you can see in the picture that many times upwards the technology is telephones or social networks disconnects us from the people we have around, now it is very common to see that in a meeting between friends that should be to talk is observed as all They are with their phones, pending taking photos to publish them, do not get me wrong I also love taking photos to post on my social networks but to what extent is what we do healthy?

If we think about technology, it is a DRUG, because a drug is not only alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, among others; Drugs are all those things that take us away from reality, it takes us away from our family, friends even takes us away from studies. So saying that, are we drug addicts? In a certain aspect, I admit many times I have let technology invade my life so much that I disconnect from my environment to a point that my neighbors have told me "I had not seen you more", because I spend it in my house connected to any type of technology.

Today I see how it is so normal for a child up to 3 years to give him a tablet and instead of playing in a park he spends his time on the tablet. I do not misunderstand the technology helps a lot, it has thousands of advantages but it is like everything "THE EXCESSES ARE BAD"

Many times even couples do not share time together because they spend it is connected to so many things that they forget to connect as a couple.

There are families who are sitting in the same room but do not talk because they are all stuck to their phones.

Boys come back and I repeat do not misunderstand me, I have also made this mistake and I seek to avoid it, use the computer for a while and turn it off, talk with my mother or go out, I seek to talk to friends without using the phone, I am obviously human and I am wrong but We all have to make the effort to disconnect from technology and connect with reality and with the people we have around. I hope you like this post, the only thing that I took from the internet were the images of the rest, everything written was only my own inspiration.

Absolutely right! The future needs healthy developed humans and this won’t help. Kids should play outside and live!
In general i think an integration of Meditation in everyday life will lead to meaningful and more resonant relationships 2 the world. The scientific proven mindfulness meditation movement gives me hope for a healthier 🌎

You are very right, meditation must be taken into account to have healthy humans. We have to all do our part to make that happen and we are more disconnected from the technology @madm3xx
