Our world is transforming
at a breakneck pace.
Social Media is taking away our humanity.
Our ability to capture the moment with a mere swipe
and a click is separating us from what really matters.
How did we become so removed from compassion
that we see no difference between filming our children
taking their first steps and filming a man taking his own life?
We are losing self- awareness and individual accountability
leading to inhumane behavior.
Everybody gets so much information all day long
that we have started loosing our common sense.
Though, many of our digital inventions serve
to estrange us from the world,
they were created to enrich our lives.
A clash of man and machine is almost upon us.
Will, we blindly outsource and abdicate big chunks of our lives
to the social media?
There is much to celebrate in the ease with which we can connect
and catalog what is going on around us using technology.
Science and technology can do wondrous things,
but one thing they can’t do is to tell how they should be used.
Without technology, humanity has no future.
But we have to be careful that
we don’t become so mechanized
that we lose our human feelings.
