Technology should be used to connect us.

Blog by-Dr Jaya Kumar.
With the rising technology, human touch is vanishing. Our society is becoming highly connected through technology but, in general, it is getting disconnected at the human level.
The human factor is slowly diminishing in the fast paced world. With apps like WhatsApp becoming a popular medium to connect, commercial messages which are generally out of context or sometimes even the messages which have no authenticity, are being forwarded in many groups.
There are only a very few forwarded messages which seem like someone's own experiences, conveying wishes or beliefs.
The human emotions are taking a back seat. People nowdays donot find time to make a phone call or paying a personal visit to someone even though the improvement in technology has made things easy, convenient and economical.
It seems like people donot even wish to meet and greet each other nowadays. They are becoming more like technological robots without emotions.


The expectations from relations and acquaintances are changing with time. Everyone is so involved in technology that in reality neither they get time to say what's up to each other nor they wish to have a face to face conversation with each other.
Infact the 'more than welcome' attitude has changed to 'no welcome' behaviour.
Human engagement is now believed to be like a breach of personal space.
Technological connections seem to be accepted more than having a personal humane 'one to one' connection.
We now have to give a sincere thought on to whether we have to make the best use of the advancement in technology and communication or we keep finding excuses every time. Technology should be used to connect us and not to alienate us.
So let us again get connected with our personal emotions and care for each other like it always used to be before the 'invasion' of technology in our lives.


The words and views expressed in my blogs are personal and are my original work of thoughts.
