Today, things are being shifted to digitization rapidly, as
if the paper will catch fire if it is not converted to digital form. The reason
being, quicker accessibility and easy interface, digital things are easy to
learn and you can access anything lying down on your bed at any time. All this
is done to save time. Time! seriously? What is the need to save so much time? What
will we do if we have endless time?
The simple answer to these questions is “We are FOOLING ourselves”.
It is uncontested fact that, computers and cell phones were invented to save
our time, but is it really happening? A big NO. Let’s take a hypothetical situation
where, we have finished our work using the net and we have nothing important to
do. How many would actually leave the system alone and go spend time with our
loved ones? Very few. The worst thing about the internet in such situation is
that, it is like an onion, if you peel a layer, another shows-up (social
web-sites, youtube etc.) and this onion has no ending.
This bubble has slowly enclosed our lives and is looking
strong and zealous to continue in the same fashion. Let’s see how much air it
can absorb before bursting, or rather will it ever burst?
It’s amusing how we humans create traps for ourselves and
keep praying to god to make our lives simple and easy free from hurdles. Another
catch about these traps is that these are NEUTRAL in nature. The positivity or
negativity of these traps is decided by us through the ways we use or misuse it.
