An Era of Smart Phones and Dumb People

An Era of Smart Ph one and only(a)s and Dumb People You spot them immediately. Theyre gathered around the swing set Eke moths to an open flame not talking, bonnie looking down at whats In their small hands. Theres around four of them, appearing to be first graders or so, testing away twice as fast as you ever could, completely oblivious to everything around them. Pausing for a second, you stop to wonder, Whatever happened to shamually using the swing set? Technology is kindred a fine wine as it matures and ages, it becomes better and better, fashioning it appeal to large crowds of people.Yet what happens If one has too much wine? They become drunk. yet alike an alcoholic, the next generation appears as if they are addicted to this modern technology, and that is not be such a good thing as people cogitate It Is. The kids seem to be gradually losing one of the most delicate and treasured things on this planet human Interaction. For example, let me pose a simple question, when w as the polish time you have a game night with your family, or any other time that was solely devoted to your nearest and dearest? Some leave behind answer years while others, mere days.Twenty-first century based females tend to go to their own sections of the house with an electronic of their choice, whether that whitethorn be a Kindle, phone, Pod, Tablet, you find it, sooner of hanging out with their family. Young children observe this and brand It as the norm. Well, why shouldnt they? Arent we the ones at blame for this? The ones they look to in order to know how to interact, to act with others? Look at the older population, the elderly, in your community they will smile at you through car windows while parked at red lights or ask you how youre doing while oer both standing In the grocery line at your local supermarket.Sadly, this seems to be a rare thing to arrive at across these days in all of us young people. Back when I was a kid, If I wanted to play a game I would go fi nd my brother and we would have to make one up ourselves. Thats right we had to use our imaginations, just like our dear friend Sponge taught us to. But now, with Inventions such as the Leaped and Manitoba, instead of making up their own games, children have the ability to download over three hundred and twenty-five APS with a push of a button.Along with these APS, as if they werent already enough, the youngsters can record videos, take pictures with the two cameras available, listen to music, and access an internet made just for them. At their age, I had sidewalk chalk and a stinking Jump rope for crying out loud. Yet why would they choose such simple, ordinary things when they have hours of guaranteed frolic right at their little fingertips, within those many APS? Snatching away. Ah yes, now Ive remembered.You know all those outdoor toy commercials that make kids want to explore the great outback(a)? Me neither. Outside The brilliant archenemy of the indoors. Its a place to be l oud, rambunctious, and least of all quiet. In a nutshell, its a childs heaven on Earth, or should be. But instead of actually going outdoors to play, kids tend to stay inside claiming its too hot, too cold, too windy, too Too anything really. So instead they sit on the couch watching mindless television shows while withering away into nothing more or less than lazy, couch potatoes.If the patterns keep up we may veritable(a)tually all turn into mild forms of the characters in the beloved movie Wall-E grotesquely fat, genealogy obsessed humans, who dont know how to live without an electronic in one hand and a remote in another. This sickens and saddens me all at once. Now, am I declaring that all technology is bad and it should be banished from Earth never to be spoken of or seen again? That we should Just absentmindedly convert back to the ways our ancestors and live without modern conveniences? Of course Im notIm merely postulation you to take a step back and look at how much tech nology you use on a daily basis, even if its Just making a call on your cell phone r turning on the TV to unwind after a long day at work. I simply dont want a world where the next generation becomes engulfed and overwhelmed by the sheer amount of technology being shoved down their throats as soon as they are able to walk and talk. The relationships we construct with others should be cherished and preserved by interacting with each other face-to-face every rather than Just testing each other. Im asking you to get off the couch and be social.Go to Struck with a few friends, go shopping with them, or maybe even volunteer and meet new people. Find the balance in your life dont let technology control it. The same goes for your children, sure you can give them a Nintendo or a Tablet, but remember to shoo them outside every once in a while to play. A childs imagination or anyones really, cant be replaced with APS and computers, its Just impossible. They can be compressed, though, if they dont have a chance to grow. A close friend once told me, We are living in the era of tonic phones and dumb people, and if you think about it enough, we are. We really, truly are.
