Google, facebook, cell phone, Skype, ATMs, credit cards, T.V., etc… I am wondering what my life would have been without these things? It struck to my mind when I was googling to prepare my assignment and got irritate of searching, when ammi said: “Hamare zamane me hum research k liye shehar bhar ki libraries ghoomte thay, aaj kal k bachon ko internet ne sust krdia hai”. This is not first time I listen to this kind of comment, I often hear these things while using mobile phone, facebook, etc. Usually these remarks seems annoying, but these are not wrong if we think about it rationally.
Thousands of details are there on a single topic just one click away. How difficult it would be to go through number of libraries for research. And because of this, reading habit and devotion is getting low in our young generation.
I used to hear similar remarks when I use cell phone. “Hamare zamane me rishtadaaron ki khabar itne dinon me telegram se milti thi, phir bhi sukoon tha aur ab yeh mobile phones asaani kam aur mushkil ziada hai”.The life was contented in spite of no phones at that time. The balanced use is very rarely seen in our society, especially in young generation who stick to their phones on texting and calls blindly.
Moreover, I am sure most of the people hear from their oldies, while watching T.V,“Hamare zamane me aik ghanta news ati thi aur T.V bund hojata tha, aaj kal ki nasal ka time tou pora din sports aur dramay”. Our T.V cannot turn off even for a single day, we are addicted to it very badly. Our most of the day go waste on fruitless morning shows, talk shows and dramas.
Furthermore, we repeatedly hear that “hamare waqt me mushkilat ziada honay k bawajood sukoon tha, rishton ki qadar thi, kyun k farigh waqt ghar walon k sath guzarte thay, aaj ki zindagi masnoi(artificial) hai”. If we seriously ponder over this point, this is absolutely no wrong. It would not be incorrect if we understand that our life has become artificial. When we feel bored, we spend our time on facebook, cell phones etc., but less interested to use up our little time with family. We are less concerned about watering our own garden and feeding our fish, but very anxious about watering farms and feeding fish on facebook. This is how our life becomes artificial because of over use of technology, which creates gap in real world.
Are we availing the benefits of advancements or its extra usage is dragging us away from reality? The choice is ours! We should better know which thing should use in which way and to what extent.
