“iCRAZY” is what the Newsweek’s magazine writer decides to
call the situation but I call it “tech-dology” meaning the damage in technology.
Have you ever asked yourself the actual number of minutes you spent playing
with your smartphone wither in texting, browsing on the internet or even
checking daily horoscope is more compared even with the most basic things that
you should do in your life like spending time with your family, talking to your
friends even taking a rest.
The fact that you are a complete man with common sense and
spending time touching your phone over hundred time in a day sending over one
thousand words of SMS, updating tens of twitter statuses or posting stuffs into
your blogs after every few minutes believe me its bit kind of weird act since
normal people does not do that, but since it is your daily routine you think
its ok.
I remember watching the African American animation TV series
Boondocks and there was this guy too much addicted to his wireless earphone
which would suddenly bring him to trouble several times. Most of the time he was
laughing and people couldn't even understand what is he laughing from, sometimes he
could just start shout nasty words from his mouth, you might think he is
talking to you but he is actually talking to someone on the phone. That is the
thing with us and our Facebook home pages or even people whom we follow on
twitter, or funny sites we visit. Sometimes we found ourselves too much
connected to the internet that we lost the sense of who we real are, laughing
with your computer, insulting it and sometimes complaining to it, why are you
letting me down. We spent enough time with our computers, enough to give them
attributes of the real human being.
Have you ever heard about the term “Facebook Depression” as referred
by the Pediatrics journal, this is
the correlation between social media use and stress, depression and suicidal
thought. For some of us they no longer
receive advice from people who are closely related to them since they can just
access almost anyone online to get an advice or opinion which is dangerous
because people whom are giving the advice they really don’t know them that much
and they can’t predict if he has some thought of physiological weakness or what he might do next.
An average America teenager can processes 3,700 SMS per
month statistics shows, “the brain of an internet addict looks almost the same
as the brain of the drug or alcohol addicts”. The physical damage has been done
to our bodies also, am sure you have experienced that sense of something
vibrating in your pocket while there is no phone in that pocket. Yes, it’s
happening not to you to many people they even got the name of the situation
calling it “phantom vibration syndrome”.
While we thought geeks are only the insane people in the
tech industry know it’s turning out that even the end users of technology are
losing it, they lose control over the internet addiction. Some guys can watch
new videos on YouTube all most the whole day and it’s normal to them, just
because they do it every day.
The issue of avatars is another chaos, a single person in a
single social networking site with 3 to 5 different accounts. Just think on how
your single account is exploiting your time and now reflects to having three
different accounts on the same social networking site. You might think your
smart but slowly you will go crazy be careful. Remember sweets fruits come with
bitter seeds……
