Matrix

As a race we are advancing so fast that in the not so distant future we may not need to interact with another human being again, and that’s pretty crazy. We have an unhealthy relationship with technology, but can you blame us, everything you could possibly want can be found on the internet.

Technology and the internet has placed us as individuals in a bubble where in a lot of situations we no longer need a physical human interaction, and if do need to speak to another person, we do so over the internet.

This however would not be a healthy way to live. As much as you can learn from the internet, nothing can supplement real life experience, and as much as you can feel as though you have experienced something through a screen, it cant match what it is like to experience it in person.

Living on an online world allows users to show all the perfections in their life, a frame of their reality. This is why living in the moment and experiencing things first hand is so important. I hope my kids grow up in a world that is still full of real life experiences, and not just YouTube videos.

  1. You make a great point about the importance of living in the moment and the way that technology detracts from that. But yet while i totally agree, with the rapid development of the tech that surrounds us, it seems almost impossible to live in a moment that isn’t on the internet anymore.

  2. Dude. As an extrovert, this is a terrifying but accurate point. It actually terrifies me that we could end up in a world without any human interaction. Humans are relational beings. It’s how we’re made. It’s our very nature. To strip that away is a frightening future to behold.
    Brilliant connection with the matrix meme. Definitely conveys your point well through the parallels.
