“There are many people in networks, but there are no people,” – would say Diogenes, living in our time
The sun. Spring. The earth is already warm, Man is working in the garden. Hands touches the soil, planting seedlings. The earth smells good, tomato saplings, the breeze carries many pleasant smells. The smell of smoke from the bath tube comes very thin and tasty. Lots of light. Peace in the soul and body. The man from this reality suddenly finds himself in a hospital bed, it turns out, this is the memory of the Future, and the present at that moment is a struggle for life, and now it is all past. How do you like this reality or virtuality, past, present and future? And how are we living now? Somewhere people survive and do not even know about the Internet. They feel hunger, cold and heat with their skin, build relationships live, talk to each other, and do not know phones. They live a natural life. And people in civilized countries through the media and the network imagine the world themselves and arrive in virtuality, they don’t know the problem, they live virtual life for hours with gadgets. They do not physically enter into a lively conversation and relationships, they virtually satisfy all their desires. Count, Friends, how much time you sit with your “gadgets” in the networks? On average, at least 3 hours and at least 8 times per hour, see what’s on your social networks? And how many meters did you walk through the fresh air during the day? When you walked barefoot on the grass, and when you planted a tree? Take a break, live at least one day without a computer, smartphone and TV, meet, talk, pay attention to loved ones. Get out of virtuality, look at the clouds, trees, grass, relatives, friends and people around. Touch the snow, the tree, the Earth, go to the nature, inhale the fresh air. We ourselves plunge our children into this world, when, instead of our attention, we give the child a tablet, a smartphone, and cartoons and games. The child comes to the window and begins to push the glass apart with his fingers, trying to enlarge the image of the tit on the branch near the house. It happens in kindergarten, too, are trying to distract the kids by sitting them at the TV with cartoons or a laptop. The highest degree of dependence in social networks and game addiction is a separate story. The network begins, like artificial intelligence, to automatically suck a person into the virtual space, offering more and more new traps for the Brain. “There are many people in networks, but there are no people,” Diogenes would say, living in our time. However, this is and will be, in order to convey these considerations, you also have to write articles in networks, everything is good in moderation and it is desirable to keep everything under our own control.
Dream, search, act, find, we all need a fresh wind sip! Friends, breathe deeply, do not rot over computers and smartphones, at least control your device – network addiction. Even if you work physical and in nature.
