Isn't it an Irony that we call it a Social Media by which we are becoming more and more unsocial? What is Social? According to Dictionaries Social means, "relating to or involving activities in which people spend time talking to each other or doing enjoyable things with each other." We forgot how to talk while we are physically and in real time together. Around the globe scientists are giving a signal that Virtual world will kill the real world. We will lose our voice. We need microphone, speaker and screen for conversation. We feel shy and even irritated if we have to make a face to face conversation. We will forget gestures at all.
Nonverbal communication will also become
dead as we prefer screen over skin. Don't you feel that Smart phone has made us
all socially dumb! A child doesn't know and has not experienced the
smile on his father's face when he gets back from his office and sees his child
waiting for him the father most probably, is on Smartphone. The opposite
situation may also arise when the father gets back home his child is playing on
Smartphone. Even when the family is having dinner or lunch they all just
mechanically, have their food without even having a glance
on their food.
Slowly and Steadily more and more people
become aware about the value of real conversation. Let's hope we become
‘More-Smart’ by dumping the use of Smartphone while we
are accompanied by our loved once. (Picture Source: Google Images)
