It has all started from March 2020, and this is mid 2021. We are still combating with the Pandemic. We are still not sure if we are to get relieve from this situation The things that has become common for us is children using the online platform and also getting addicted to it. Then there is a work from home going on. We have become much more App oriented and social media is occupying's a good time in our day schedule.
So the question is are we not getting habituated with the new normal?? Will be ever enjoy the parties, going to malls and PVRS , going to social gatherings and getting into a friendly gathering…etc.???
Is our kids becoming too much introvert and lazy??
Lets find out…!!
Work from home
This has become the new ‘normal’ of the day. We don't even know if the corporate offices will ever open up again or are we to continue working from home all throughout our lives. For more than a year we have been locked down into our homes and computers, laptops and mobiles are are chief platforms from where we are trying to earn our livings. So a deep question is coming into our minds and that is will we continue this way forever??
Online classes
The children are getting accustomed to the online platforms. Even little babies are getting to play with a mobile and they are getting addicted to cartoons. They just don't have any other recreation other than the cartoons and the online activities. This is because in maximum household the parents are doing ‘work from home’ and the household helps and babysitters are not being allowed to come inside our houses. So the children are not getting their relaxation or getting out to play. The little babies could play with their babysitters or household helps, even that is not possible in most of the cases. Then what else can be done? Parents are opening the cartoon channels and their mobiles in front of their kids so that they could work in peace.
Social media
In this pandemic situation, our sources of entertainment are TVs or OTT platforms and the social media. We don't even have the patience sometimes to reach the TV or the computer. What we usually do is open the social media account in our mobiles and just see all the entertaining activities from there. So we are getting into a addiction of the social media. But since we cannot go out and enjoy. This is becoming our new normal. But how long are we to seek enjoyment from the online social media?? That's a big question….
App addiction
Today we do almost everything with the help of Apps. Without Apps our lives are becoming much dull. From grocery to garments , everything we shop from the Apps and from online platforms.
So the need to go out and shop is getting minimized each day. If we are to continue this way, then there will be hardly any need to go out.
Even if the Pandemic dies out, we would get into the habit of online lifestyle. Later when situations become normal we would never be able to the the normal lifestyle… That normal lifestyle would become something ‘strange’ and 'unknown' to use then.
So are we to continue these way forever?? This is a serious question which needs to be observed and answered by human civilization now and in days to cme.
