Connected but Alone

Yesterday in homeroom we were watching Ted talk by Sherry Turkel. It was amazing I can relate to so many  things. Its hard to  function without technology. Technology has huge impact on our daily life .We are isolating ourselves from the real world  we are spending more  time on the virtual world.

Technology is changing us psychologically what we do and how we are Technology plays a major role in our lives. We are slowly isolating ourselves  from our family and friends. We are no longer sending birthday cards an birthday post, text or email has it covered. We isolate ourselves by walking around from our own little world, listening to music or staring at the screen of the latest mobile device even when we are around other people. Studies has shown that people who are socially isolated will live shorter lives. Now we are more connected to the technology than our family we are spending more time on technology but less time with family.

Lack of face to face interaction. We focus more on  text and email rather than having face to face conversation with our family and friends. Children believed that parents pays less attention to them than responding to their emails and checking their smartphones. Technology makes it easier for people to bully  others online, quarter of teenager say that they have been bullied either by the text or on the social media.

And what I’ve found is that our little devices, those little devices in our pockets, are so psychologically powerful that they don’t only change what we do, they change who we are.

Its hard to avoid technology. Its important that most people should realise the negative side of technology. We should focus more on the real world rather than the virtual world. It also  depends how we use If we use it in a negative way it will give us negative result if we use it in a positive way it will give us positive result. We should spend more time with our family we  should not isolate ourselves from the real world.

 

My digital self

Meet my virtual avatar. I am wearing hijab because it is the symbol of avatarmodesty and privacy, and another reason is that I am attending an Islamic school. My favorite color is black and I like the dark background. I think it relates with my personality. I prefer the nighttime over daytime,  that’s why I chose the city nights as my background.

I used Doppelme to create my virtual avatar. In real life I don’t wear hijab. Overall, I didn’t like the option where you needed to pay for some of the features. This website helped me create my virtual avatar. I enjoyed it and it has some cool features.

How technology impacted my life

Technology impacted my daily life in a good and bad way. My life would not function properly if I had no technology. Let us start with the  positive sides. I like how I can communicate with friends easily, I can talk to my family who lives far from here.  I am able to connect with far places digitally within hours,  but back then it would take a long time. I can share information to any part of the world. My life would definitely be harder without technology.

On the other hand, I am isolating myself from people instead of going out with friends. I would just text them instead face to face interaction. I am spending more than 3 hours on internet rather than getting involved in fun activities. I am so addicted to technology, that sometimes, I procrastinate with my homework.

Technology has positive and negative sides but it depends on how we use it. If we use it in positive way then we would get positive results, and if we use it in a negative way, it will bring negative results.
