Hello to my fellow community members,
Friends, yesterday we shared how we need to reduce our screen time so that we can improve our health and become a better version of ourselves.
There are many reasons why I do not like social media very much, and one of the reasons is that because of social media, we no longer have time to talk to our elders.
Earlier, we used to talk to our elders, ask them questions, and learn different stories from them of their time. We used to learn about holy scriptures through our real gurus who had knowledge of Holy scriptures.
But now, we all have hundreds of so called gurus, because on YouTube many people are talking about different scriptures. And we do not even know whether they are real gurus or not. They are just sitting there and we are believing them.
Apart from this, whenever we want to go somewhere, we open social media and type and search a place according to our need. There is nothing wrong in that but whatever places appear, we simply go there with our family.
Earlier, we used to ask our parents about places that were famous during their time, or about a restaurant where the food was really good. But now, there are so many food influencers who go and create fake reviews and we just follow them.
That is why social media has had a negative impact on our lives. Now whether you agree with this or not, I personally feel this way. Many people say that social media has only made our life easy, but I do not believe that.
Yes, it has the good side that make things easier for us, but it has also brought many unwanted things.
When I was younger, I used to see that kids were given proper time by their parents. But now that I have grown up, I see that most parents just give their child a phone if something needs to be done and they are entertained by that phone.
They feed them while the phone is in their hands. Whatever be the problem with the kids, the solution is always the phone. Everything is being handled by just giving them a phone and is it not harming them everyday?
And if they start using the phone, they will introduce themselves to a virtual world where there are many things they should not see. Everything has an age limit.
I once read that we should keep children away from phones at least until they are ten years old. But doing this has become almost impossible now, because even schools gives homework to a four year old kids that even they need a laptop or phone to complete them.
So friends, I want you to tell me how you feel. Do you think social media has spoiled us and made us careless? Or do you feel that things are fine the way they are and there is nothing to worry about?
